Something a bit different in the studio recently and am here for it 🙌
My clients ancestry results come back with a high percentage of Nordic links, so what better design to have than a Nordic compass to symbolise his roots.

A beautiful ornamental tattoo for Sarah 🪷

Sarah wanted a delicate, feminine tattoo which symbolised strength, resilience and love. We incorporated these elements through different symbols which flowed beautifully with her anatomy.

Loved designing this piece 🤍

This might surprise you… but fine line tattoos are NOT simple ✨
Because when it comes to fine line work, there’s nowhere to hide…
🖤 No heavy shading.
🖤 No thick bold lines.
🖤 No room for mistakes.
🖤 Every single line has to be intentional, balanced, and clean. Fine line tattooing takes patience, precision, and complete control — even the smallest movement makes a difference.
A lot more goes into these delicate tattoos than people realise.

And yes — having a home studio does NOT mean lower standards ✨
A professional home studio should still be fully registered, licensed, and insured. My studio is set up and run with the exact same level of care, cleanliness, and safety you’d expect from any professional studio environment.

My books are currently closed but DM’s are always monitored to discuss potential future designs, so drop me a message if you’re ready for your turn in the chair 💌
