HAVEN is coming up on 1 year.

Every piece, every session, every bit of trust has built this space.

To mark it, I’m opening limited spaces at 40% off on all projects.

If there’s something you’ve been meaning to start or continue, send it through.

Some sleeves just take time.

This one has been built over years, with a lot of patience and a lot of trust along the way.

The skull butterfly sits on a spot that can be tough to heal, so I’m really happy with how it settled.

A couple sessions left before we’re done with this sleevešŸ’Ŗ

Some tattoos do not need words to say something real.

Fresh is not the final version.

Black and grey work can look heavy on the day because the skin is still irritated, the tones are sitting strong, and the tattoo has not had time to settle yet.

Once it heals, everything softens a bit. The shades even out. The piece starts to sit properly.

That is why healed work matters.

Save this so you know what to expect before your next tattoo.

A good session is more than the tattoo itself.

The room matters.
The pace matters.
The way the process feels matters.

When the space feels calm, clear, and easy to trust, everything else tends to follow better.

3 years later, still building.

This lower forearm is nearly 3 years healed.

We touched up a few small areas on the day, then carried on into the shoulder.

That is a big part of how I think about larger work.
Not just how it looks fresh, but how it settles, how it holds, and whether it still gives us something strong to build from later.

If you’re planning something larger, bookings are through the email in my bio.

The foundation always matters.

This first sitting was about structure, flow, and setting the tone of the sleeve properly from the start.

Some pieces are meant to unfold in stages.
Trusting the process is part of getting the result right.

One more session to go.

This was a really good journey with Timothy.
Long sessions, big piece, and a lot of trust on both sides.

Appreciate you, bruv. You sat strong the whole way and let the process unfold.
Always respect that kind of commitment.
