I love tailoring designs to people and the level of problem solving that comes with bespoke tattooing ,but I mostly love the feel of graphite on paper :) and the journey it builds between you and the client :)

If you wanted to commit to something that connects with you !

I really forgot to do something for a woman's month :)well nothing was sticking to my mind but I finally took a plunge with and bought this set I've been eyeing out ! Made in Italy,portraits have been a great love of mind ,since I saw my first portrait done by Mr.Bob Tyrell!

And would love to do a portrait of a woman that has inspired you in life ,

Here are just a few sample ideas 💡

But it can be your mom grandmother or musician etc :)

In order
Florence Nightingale
Ross parks
Marie Currie
Dr Jane Goodall
Frida Kahlo

If you don't know these ladies give them a search ,incredible stuff!

T's and C's

No micro portraits
Placement (forearm,shoulder upper arm,thigh or calf area )
Good reference essential
Must prepare for at least a 5-7 hour day
🙏🙏🙏No partners faces🙏🙏🙏
From Chin to hair line must be 3 inches of face :)

Tattoos for me are a great celebration of life so if you would like to celebrate the woman who inspires you this one for you :)

If not for you please share with a friend :)

Not rushed ,just smooth and easy :)

(PS if this works out well I may turn this in a once a month thing:)

There so many I want to do:)

For the love of life

first sitting was hard and pain level was super but we managed to get through :)

Best to communicate your pain level so we can plan your sessions around your level this was on the side flank in total it will be about a a4 page of ink :)

I really don't mind working to achieve the best results and plan the session and achieve the most efficient session :)

But also some styles require more tattooing than other styles :)

Always happy to work with you to achieve the best results :)

Have a blessed week ahead!!
