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. 

Sheldon, the cat.

I love doing 'one shots'. It's really satisfying to complete a tattoo in one sitting. Alex who is an old client of mine asked me to tattoo a 'gentrified' version of her cat, Sheldon. So, here he is. Right above the knee.

Finished 'Sailor girl'

Finished of Simon's 'Sailor girl'. Completely healed. Really enjoyable tattoo on an old friend. 

Day of the dead.

Really enjoyable tattoo finished. It was the clients 1st tattoo. It's always an honour to be asked to do someone's 1st, no matter the size or content. 

  Finished in 2 sittings. Most of the tattoo is healed, the rest is fresh. ⚡️
