From an idea to a bespoke tattoo 🔥

Harrison came to me (Jason) with an AI-generated reference to show the kind of design he had in mind.

I took that concept and put my own spin on it, creating a completely bespoke forearm piece that flows naturally with the shape of his arm.

Combining ornamental scrollwork, floral elements, a Roman numeral clock and bold black & grey shading to bring everything together.

All completed in one session! đź’Ş

Massive thanks to Harrison for trusting me with the design and giving me the creative freedom to make it my own!

What do you think of the finished piece? 👇

Tattooed by Jason.
Mathew wanted a portrait of his cat, but this piece is also the start of something much bigger.
We worked the portrait into the forearm while incorporating some existing tattoos into the cover-up, creating a design that flows naturally with the arm.
This will eventually become a full jungle cat themed sleeve, with a jaguar planned for the upper arm to tie the whole concept together.
Really looking forward to seeing this one develop.

Tattooed by Jason. A decorative, ornamental back tattoo inspired by the lotus
Ma Designed to feel elegant
and feminine while following the natural flow of the back.
The lotus was chosen to represent her grandmother, but it also came to symbolise growth, resilience and moving through a season of change much like a lotus rising through muddy waters.
With Thailand coming up next month, it felt like the perfect time to bring this meaningful piece to life.

Tattooed by Jason. Bad guy sleeve complete
The final piece is in and the whole sleeve finally comes together.
We finished the upper arm with a dark hooded skull design, built to flow into the existing work and keep that same dark, black and grey realism feel running through the entire arm.
Love seeing a full sleeve reach this stage — individual pieces becoming one complete composition from shoulder to wrist.

It’s the craftsmanship that separates a good tattoo from an unforgettable one. Zeus ⚡️ Crafted with precision.

Tattooed by: Jason Riley. Andy’s an outdoorsman and a keen windsurfer, so this one was all about capturing the places he feels most at home. 🌊

Mountains, open water, tropical coastline and of course the windsurfer. All brought together as one continuous landscape that flows around the arm rather than looking like a collection of separate images.

Loved building this one around him and his lifestyle.

If there’s a place, passion or part of your life you’d like turning into something completely custom, drop me a message.
