THIS TATTOO TOOK AGES!
12 hours on my client @miguel78239 for his first ever tattoo!
Got to shout out the original artist!
@alexgreycosm is a genius!
Adding more to this arm later this week, can not wait! by @aka_pij

DARTH MAUL!
The second star wars tattoo I had on offer this month.
Might do some more, super happy with how my colour work is going at the moment. Does take ages though. Had some amazing clients with some great pain tolerance! Thanks so much to @lukekilgallon03 for sitting for a super long day to get this done! Hard as nails!

SOME LIVE, SOME DIE IN THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI
Fully healed full back tattoo done for @steven.williams0682
Ste, sat for a very long time to get this tattoo done, smashed it to be fair. Proper tough lad!
This design was inspired by the Ghost of Tsushima video game and the tv series Shogun.
Honestly could not be happier with how it all turned out. I will be posting a video of the whole process soon.

FINALLY GOT TO DO ONE OF MY OLDER DESIGNS!
Had this one on offer for the last couple years.
@emyr__hughes popped in today and made my day!
Well chuffed with how bright all the blood orange ink in the background turned out. Lovley contrast!
Love doing colour tattoos! Please guys book some more with me!

I'm testing out a new way to film and make my content.
Using my camera set up I usually only use to show the final product, I am now using to show the whole tattoo process. Can you guys please let me know what you think?
I still have a few unfinished video projects with my phone that I will be posting soon.
But I am thinking from now on filming more stuff this way. It takes a little more time and can slow down my day as a whole. But I really like the result.
Phone cameras don't really give you a true sense of what its like to be in the studio. They dont really capture the mood or lighting properly. Also they can kinda make tattoos not look as good as they are in person. Most tattoo artists know this.
Time for a change I think. by @aka_pij

Change of pace from the tatts
Having the best time by Lake Macquarie.
Spent the last 5 weeks doing loads of cool tatts!
(More posts coming when I have time to edit Reels)
We have been fishing, exploring the bush and forest.
Had some amazing meals and a few fun nights out.
Caravan living is very cosy and we are both still loving it! Bbqs, movie nights infront of the projector, swimming in the pool, lounging in the sun.
Pablo is nice and chill now, settled into this nomad lifestyle. Working a bit less than back at home, getting more time to enjoy the good things in life 😁 by @aka_pij

Well here we are after 2 days of hard graft from my client and myself.
Full back tattoo done at @tildeathtattooau
Fully custom design made with everything my client had in mind.
Sydney based tattoo backpiece!
Homegrown memories. Tough clients get it done! by @aka_pij
