dotwork tattoos done properly 🧠✨

Fun fact: Octopuses have three hearts… and somehow still make better decisions than most people picking their first tattoo.

If you’re going to wear it forever, maybe don’t treat it like a last-minute Amazon order.

Limited spaces available September/ October — you know what to do.

Tattooing isn’t about money, it’s about legacy, trust, and craftsmanship. If you think this job is easy money, you’re missing the point. The real ones know what goes into every piece, every client, every session.

Do you get tattooed for the art or just the price?

I’ve lost my motivation to post on here at the moment. It feels like every tattooist is doing the same informational carousels.
The same b roll and into videos.

This all takes so much work. And to be honest the return is very minimal. This last couple of weeks I’ve just been focusing on you, my customers that pay me. To do a job. And that job is not a content creator.

I genuinely used to love this platform and all it had to offer but it’s changed alot over the years and not for the better.

Don’t get me wrong I will continue to make content but I just needed a rest, and to not have a camera in my face all day 📸

I love you all! ❤️ big time

Bananas are radioactive… but yeah, that tiny tattoo idea is the risky one.

Swipe for this week’s tattoos 👇
Bold, readable, built to last—because there’s no point getting something you’ll hate in 5 years.

Trends come and go. Good tattoos don’t.

Be honest… are you picking something meaningful, or just copying what you’ve seen online? 👇

Tattoo ideas you didn’t know you needed (but now you can’t unsee) 👀

Swipe this Sunday chaos carousel → I promise at least one of these will live rent free in your head.

Not every tattoo has to be deep, meaningful, or life-changing. Some of the best pieces come from random conversations, weird humour, or that “why not?” moment. The tattoos people remember most? They’re usually the ones that break the rules a bit.

So here’s your reminder: your tattoo doesn’t need permission to exist. It just needs to feel like you.

Which one are you actually getting? Be honest 😂👇

Things I wish I knew before I started tattooing.

The tattoo industry can be incredible, but there’s a lot people don’t tell you when you’re starting out — bad mentors, dirty shops, false promises, and suddenly a lot of “friends” who want free tattoos.

That being said, I still absolutely love tattooing. The culture, the history and the people in this industry are a huge part of why I do it.

Tattoo artists — what’s something you wish someone told you before you started?
