A special one this ❤️ Got to cover up the first ever tattoo I done when I was only starting out, on my lifelong friend Shane.

Having mates like this who trusted me and helped me get started is a massive reason I’m able to do what I love every day now. Mad looking back at where it all started and how far it’s come.

Forever grateful for friends like this and everyone who backed me from day one ❤️🔥

One seriously tough sitting for Peter. Added this bold blackwork to the head and freshened up an older angel tattoo to help bring the whole piece together. Definitely not an easy area to sit through, but Peter took it like a champ. 🔥

Some recent work from Black Box Ink 🖤

Keeping things different and always pushing the work forward.

So grateful to be able to do something I love every day and keep pushing it further.

Something I’ve realised lately is life’s too short to be constantly worrying about everything. Appreciate the people around you, enjoy what you’re doing and keep pushing towards the things you want. Nothing really happens by sitting back and hoping for it.

The Fallen Angel on the next slide was inspired by Alexandre Cabanel’s painting. I’ve always liked the idea behind it — setbacks, falling and still having that fight in you.

Still loads I want to do with my work and the studio, but enjoying where its taking me 🖤

Big thanks as always to everyone who comes through the door and trusts me with their tattoos 🤝🖤

Cerberus, the legendary three-headed guardian of the Underworld from Greek mythology, added to this ongoing Greek mythology sleeve.

The inner forearm is now fully healed, while the Cerberus piece is still fresh. I always think it’s important to show healed work, not just fresh tattoos. Fresh tattoos always look great, but healed work is what really shows the quality and how a tattoo stands the test of time.

📅 Taking bookings for November & December. Limited dates remaining.

One massive sitting. A full neo-traditional dragon wrapping around the kneecap definitely isn’t an easy one to finish in a single session, but we got it done. 👊🐉

Taking bookings now for November & December. Dates are flying out, and I’m genuinely grateful for all the enquiries and support. ❤️

I’ll also be announcing a walk-in day very soon, so keep an eye out. 🇮🇪🔥

Got to finish this full Irish-themed sleeve for Dylan. We started this one a few months ago and finally got it wrapped up. Delighted with how it all came together. 🇮🇪

Pleasure finishing off this Viking-themed sleeve. We went with Odin on the outer arm, now fully healed after 3 months, and finished the inner forearm with Mjölnir to tie it all together. This is going to be one seriously solid sleeve when it’s complete.

Now taking bookings for October and November
Drop me a message to get booked in.
