🎌 Cover-up complete! 🎌

This morning’s custom piece was all about transformation. What was once a small dragon tattoo from years gone by has been completely reimagined into a striking Japanese-inspired scene featuring a torii gate, wandering samurai, misty landscapes, and the iconic red sun.

Cover-ups are always a challenge, but they’re also some of the most rewarding tattoos to create. Taking something that no longer fits your story and turning it into a piece you’re proud to wear is what tattooing is all about.

A huge thank you to my client for trusting me with this project and sitting like a champ throughout the session. 🙌

✨ This morning was all about tattoos with meaning. ✨

Two best friends came in for matching pieces inspired by a musical they both love – a simple design with a big story behind it and a friendship that will last a lifetime. ☕❤️

Laura also chose to add some powerful words to her wrist:
“I am the one thing in life I can control.”
A beautiful daily reminder of strength, resilience and focusing on what truly matters. 🖤

Thank you both for trusting me with such personal tattoos. It’s always a privilege to create pieces that carry so much meaning.

Busy morning in the studio ahead, so it’s only right to start with a proper cuppa first ☕🖤

I’ve got a full morning of tattoos lined up and I can’t wait to get started. Keep your eyes peeled for the end-of-day pictures to see what we’ve been creating today.

Walk-ins and appointments welcome – let’s make some memories in ink! ✍️✨

⚡ Second sitting on this epic cover-up today! ⚡

Some areas of the body are much tougher to sit through than others, so we split this one into sessions to make it more manageable for the client. Cover-ups often take patience, planning, and a bit of grit, but seeing an old tattoo transformed into something new is always worth it.

Still plenty to do, but we’re well on the way to giving this piece a fresh start. Thanks for sitting like a champ today! 💪

If you’ve got an old tattoo you’re tired of looking at, drop me a message and let’s see what we can create.

✨ From a little sketch to a forever memory. ✨

Today I had the honour of tattooing a child’s drawing exactly as it was, keeping every little line and imperfection that makes it so special. ❤️

This tiny masterpiece is smaller than a penny, but the meaning behind it is priceless. A moment, a memory, and a piece of love that Mum gets to carry with her forever.

These are the tattoos that remind me why I love what I do. Thank you for trusting me with something so personal.

🖤 Have your little ones created a drawing you never want to forget? I’d love to help turn it into a forever keepsake.

A great way to start the morning with these fresh pieces! 🖤

A huge thank you to Emma for playing the game of Deal or no deal last week and getting booked in. It was a pleasure tattooing you today, and I hope you love your new ink as much as I loved creating it.

If you’ve been thinking about your next tattoo, whether it’s a custom design or one of my available pieces, drop me a message to get booked in.
