I have this back concept available- loosely based on my favourite version of Takiyasha Hime.

💀Princess Takiyasha performed the ushi no koku mairi ritual for 21 nights at Kifune shrine, where she was granted black magic and raised an army of yokai- one of which was the gashadokuro. 💀

There’s a lot more to this particular version of the story- but that’s that main points I took for this- there’s another version where the became the frog witch and I’d also love to do something with that version too!

Those of you who saw the polls on my story the other day voted for a ‘Build-a-project’ box. It shall be done 🙏🏻

🔥🔥🔥

As promised.

I’ve made this lovely and simple- there’s only 2 designs to pick from, they’re available as shown or in black and grey.
The price is fixed regardless of size or colour.

If you’d like to grab one and join me in making fun of the situation then pop an enquiry form in. I really hope I get to do lots of these 🙏🏻

You cant get rid of us that easily- We’re back from NEXT WEEK! Dan has been incredibly kind and taken us back at Nottingham Uk until we’re ready back VELLUM TATTOO COLLECTIVE so you’ll find us on Carrington street one again!

Hello 🤍

Everyone seem to have heard what’s happened so I’m not going to repeat it.

It’s been a hard week. Time has felt like a mess since Sunday night and honestly I don’t know I’m doing, I just know it’s not well.

I haven’t got anything more to say about what happened, I don’t have the headspace or words to eve try and do so- this post isn’t about that though. It’s about you guys.

First of all thank you so much- that doesn’t feel adequate but it’s all I’ve got for now- to everyone. Every single person who’s checked in on myself Tara and Juris, everyone who’s sent us their love, everyone’s who’s seen the main post and shared our sadness over this.

All of the studios clients- we very much operate as one unit, we aren’t 3 people involved in this separately, we work as a team and our clients have got to know all of us and each other over the years- this has affected us all as a team too and we will continue to be one moving forward.
So many of you have proven why we loved our little space so much, the messages we’ve all received from each others clients and offers of help from you all have shown us that we did what we wanted to do with the studio.

I am so proud of the environment we’ve created at Vellum. I wish it was under better circumstances of course but we have to take the positives where we can right now.

Friends who have let me invade their evenings to keep me busy, helped me generally slightly track what day it is or what else I’m supposed to be doing have been incredible.

Tara and Juris of course have been central to everything right now. Whilst Tara and I have been on stop on admin this week she has kept me functioning and Juris has been so helpful and great at stopping us spiralling. I really hope if we can get anything from this it’s that we come back as an even stronger team.

We will be back.

For now you can find us all back at Wottos alongside Dan and the team once again. Thankyou so much Dan for taking us back when we need it.

For now I’m taking a break to try reset my head a bit and focus on getting back into working mindset.

Ell ✨

More cherry blossoms and octopus omori for Tracey! This one sits so nicely on the shoulder that I’ve put one of the full photos of the next slide to show the placement off!
A really nice way to cap the shoulder off and still have a few blossoms visible on the front of the arm.

Thank you Tracey 🤍

A lovely little dancing frog I got to tattoo a little while ago- very happy with him! I really like dancing frogs- and I’m always happy to draw more :) 🐸

I’ve already been able to do one of these (and two other foxes) before I got round to posting this! They are repeatable and available as black and grey too!
