A little tattoo dump from recently 🖤✨

From tiny fine-line pieces to big ongoing sleeves, colour, black & grey, reworks and everything in between — definitely been keeping busy lately 😂

Which one’s your favourite? 👀 Or if you could steal one for yourself, which would you pick?

✨ OCTOBER & NOVEMBER AVAILABILITY ✨

A little update on my upcoming availability 🖤

I’ve now opened up my remaining appointments for October & November, with a mixture of full 6 hour sittings, 3 hour appointments and smaller 2 hour slots available.

I do also have just a few spaces left in September:

✨ Monday 21st September — 10am–1pm
✨ Tuesday 29th September — 10am–1pm
✨ Wednesday 30th September — 4pm–6pm

The times shown on the photos are the maximum amount of time available in each slot, so longer appointments can absolutely be shortened for smaller tattoos.

Perfect for new projects, continuing existing work, cover-ups, reworks, realism, colour pieces or those smaller ideas you’ve been meaning to get booked in 🖤

📩 DM the page to book with your tattoo idea, placement and approximate size and we can find the best appointment for you.

🦁 KING & QUEEN 🦁

Work in progress on this black & grey lion and lioness piece 🖤 We’ve got the main portraits taking shape now, with plenty more depth, texture and finishing details still to come.

Absolutely love how these two sit together on the upper arm — can’t wait to keep building this one next sitting! 🥰

📩 DM to enquire about your own custom wildlife or realism piece.

🌿 CERNUNNOS 🌿

Something a little different with this one! My client came to me with the original Cernunnos tattoo as inspiration and we recreated it in my own style, keeping that ancient, almost carved feel while adding more depth and detail. 🖤

Known as the Horned God, Cernunnos is associated with nature, the wild, life and death, and the balance between humanity and the natural world. I absolutely loved working with all the strange little shapes and details in this one!

📩 Got an existing design or piece of inspiration you’d love me to put my own spin on? Drop me a message on Facebook or Instagram to chat through your ideas.

🐾 The Distinguished Mr Rufus 🐾

How gorgeous is this little face?! 🥹 Rufus is now 12 years young, complete with his beautiful salt & pepper face and officially looking every inch the distinguished gentleman. 🤍

It was an absolute honour getting to tattoo his portrait and capture all those little details that make him him. Pet portraits will always be such special pieces to work on — especially when I get a reference photo this adorable!

Next step is adding Rufus’ actual paw print to finish off this lovely tribute. 🐾 I can’t wait to see it all together!

📩 If you’d love to have your four-legged best friend captured in a portrait, drop me a message on Facebook or Instagram to chat about your ideas.

💥 JUBILEE 💥

Jubilee all coloured in and looking absolutely INSANE for Dom last week! 🌈🔥 I’m obsessed with how much this one pops — the colours, the lighting, the energy… definitely one of those pieces that was ridiculously fun to bring to life.

We’re now nearly at the end of stage 2 of Dom’s ever-growing Marvel leg sleeve/side-of-torso project… although, knowing Dom, I’m sure he’ll find another few characters and somehow convince me there’s space for them somewhere 😂

This project has been an absolute beast and I can’t wait to see everything together once this stage is complete! 🖤

📩 Got a big colour project, character sleeve or slightly ridiculous tattoo idea you want to bring to life? Drop me a message on Facebook or Instagram to chat!

🖤 In Progress 🖤

A very special piece started last week as part of my client’s leg sleeve.

This Kurt Cobain portrait is being created in loving memory of his sister, combining her love of music with a tribute that will always be with him. Portrait work is always one of my favourite challenges, and although there’s still plenty left to do, it’s already starting to come to life.

This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to continue adding to the sleeve over the coming sessions. Thank you for trusting me with something so meaningful. ❤️

📩 If you’re looking for a custom memorial tattoo, portrait, or large-scale sleeve project, send me a message on Facebook or Instagram to discuss your ideas.

📚✨ Sleeve Progress ✨📚

A little progress update on this incredibly personal sleeve for the lovely Kathleen. 💛

This session was all about adding another meaningful chapter to her story, with a stack of books flowing beautifully into the existing floral work. Every element in this sleeve has been carefully chosen to represent memories, passions and the people who have shaped her life, making it one of those projects that’s an absolute privilege to be trusted with.

I can’t wait to continue building this piece and watch the whole sleeve come together over the coming sessions.

📩 If you’re thinking about creating a custom tattoo that’s completely unique to your story, I’d love to help bring your ideas to life. Message me on Facebook or Instagram for bookings and enquiries.

🖤 Cover-Up Progress 🖤

Another step forward on this cover-up sleeve for my amazing uncle! It was lovely having him down for the weekend again.

Last session we added the raven, and this time we got started on building out the wing with plenty of texture and shading. It’s still very much a work in progress, but each sitting brings it closer to the finished piece.

Large-scale projects like this take time, but watching them come together layer by layer is always worth it. Can’t wait to get him back in and keep pushing this sleeve towards the finish line.

📩 If you’re looking to transform an old tattoo or start a custom black and grey project, send me a message on Facebook or Instagram to chat about your ideas.

Bones Beneath the Black 🐍

The next stage of this semi-blacked-out sleeve is underway, adding a winding snake skeleton around the existing bull skull and allowing it to flow naturally across the arm.

Next session we’ll finish the remaining shading before blacking out the background to bring the whole section together. Plenty more to come from this one!

For tattoo enquiries and bookings, please DM with your idea, placement, approximate size in inches and whether you’d like colour or black and grey.
