🦂🏹✨

Sun sign on one side, Ascendant on the other.
This wasn’t just about getting a cool scorpion and centaur—we designed this chest piece around his astrological identity. One side represents his Sun Sign, and the other represents his Ascendant (Rising Sign), with micro-constellations tying them both together across the sternum.

Placement on the chest required precise stencil alignment to ensure both pieces sat naturally on the muscle structure while maintaining visual symmetry.

Do you know your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs? Drop your big three in the comments!.

Beyond the fierce audio, this piece carries a deeply personal meaning. My client came in wanting to honor her father by tattooing his Chinese Zodiac sign—the Tiger.

To make it unique, we split the design down the center: one side framed in crisp geometric structure, and the other dissolving into organic water splashes, framed by a delicate crescent moon and stars at the base. And she will be able to add her other parents sign one day.

Wenn ein Tätowierer versucht, eine 3-stöckige Hochzeitstorte zu backen… 🎂

Mal eine kleine Abwechslung zu Nadel und Farbe! Ich habe mich der Herausforderung gestellt, eine komplette 3-stöckige Hochzeitstorte zu backen – mit Profi-Equipment von

& Equipment von Mama, (die auch die Himbeere und Kirchsoße gemacht hat, natürlich auch ihre Rezepte)

Untere Schicht: Fantakuchen mit eingekochter Himbeercreme

Mittlere Schicht: Schokokuchen mit Kirschfüllung

Oberste Schicht: Eierschaum Kuchen (Angelcake)

Zwischen Buttercreme, Spritzdüsen und dem Versuch, feine Buttercreme-Blumen zu formen, habe ich einen riesigen Respekt vor allen Konditoren bekommen. Es war chaotisch, die Küche sah aus wie ein Schlachtfeld, aber das Brautpaar beim Anschnitt zu sehen, hat alles wieder wettgemacht!

Disclaimer: Nach dieser Aktion bleibe ich definitv beim Tätowieren!

Also wenn jemand für eine Hochzeit einen tätowierer braucht schreibt mir gerne eine DM

When a tattoo artist tries to bake a 3-tier wedding cake… 🎂😅

A little change of pace from the needle and ink! I took on the challenge of making a full 3-tier wedding cake using professional equipment borrowed from my mom.

Bottom: Fanta cake with homemade raspberry cream

Middle: Double chocolate cake with cooked cherry filling

Top: Angel cake

Between the piping nozzles, the buttercream, and attempting intricate flower details, I gained a whole new respect for bakers. It was chaotic, the kitchen was a mess, but seeing the couple cut into it made it all worth it!

Disclaimer: I’m sticking to tattooing full-time after this one!

When designing delicate floral work, where the lines go is just as important as how they’re tattooed. For this piece, we mapped out the vines to sweep organically over her collarbone and existing script, cascading down the shoulder to naturally frame the arm.
The goal was to keep it soft, airy, and light—using ultra-fine line linework, subtle stippling on the lily petals, and delicate dot-work accents near the base to create motion.

What’s your favorite placement for fine-line florals: collarbone, shoulder, or forearm? Drop your take below!

Full sleeve perspective. 🌸💎

While videos show the process, a still shot is where you really get to appreciate the balance of a large-scale piece.
For this full arm, the goal was seamless vertical continuity. We framed the top shoulder and lower wrist with sharp, symmetrical ornamental mandalas, then filled the middle with soft, organic peonies and lilies. The contrast between the structured geometric lines and the soft, fluid flower petals keeps the arm feeling light and elegant despite covering full coverage.

💬 Which section do you like better: the structured shoulder ornament or the soft floral middle? Drop your take below!
