Traditional Eagle

Had fun making this on Jack. Cheers mate, classics are always the best

Hoard

Made a great start on my clients first tattoo. Magpies with a hoard of jewels.

Knee

Here's a knee I finished recently. The linework and black shading are healed. With the colours being fresh. Kept a minimal 'traditional' colour palette for this one. 

Death!

My client wanted one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. We chose DEATH as it lends itself to tattooing too easily! I made a traditional version with soft whipshading. 

Siren

My client sent me through a drawing that another artist had done. It depicted a mermaid with a nautical scene - ship, waves etc. It also had roses and a lantern, that didn't seem to fit. Which meant there was no running theme, for such a large detailed drawing. So I stripped back the ideas and made this. A siren, which is/was the course of death for many lusty sea voyagers. The tattoo has been started, it will take a couple more sessions before it is finished!

Autopsy

My client originally wanted the autopsy 'cut marks'. Essentially black dotted lines. But I threw him a curve ball and we ended up tattooing the 'cut' instead. It's a tattooers job to incite excitement and enthusiasm when it comes to ideas. 

Bulldog

After tattooing for 6yrs, and doing lots of traditional tattoos-I finally did my first Bulldog?! Albeit a small one on a wrist.
