I wish I didn't have to pay the devil to get this far, but hey.. Everything that hurts is worth it 🤗😵‍💫

Once again I feel blessed and completely humbled by Saints.. As of, well now I guess.. Any tattoo bookings with me will be through the talented and amazing team at the Ink Lounge Tattoo Studio in Mount Hawthorne who've recently invited me to come on board.. May God save their souls 🙏🤣

Ha, but seriously.. thanks to all the support everyone gave me while I was a cooked fool doing dumb shit on the wrong side of the law. Like, come on.. you probably shouldn't have supported me back then.. but needles to say it was worth it, and I'm grateful for the amount of faith everyone had in me. Pun intended 🤣

So there you have it.. Home studio is shut.. and at this stage still just saturdays or specific bookings so i can keep a sustainable balance during the transition.

It's just the biggest kind of honour to be given the opportunity of working with and learning from some of the best, and it's not really something I can pass up if I'm going to keep getting my shit together.
Truly blessed.

Only one thing left to say now, huh?

The result after day 1 of a 2 day bender adding onto this Greek mythology sleeve :-)
Absolutely in awe of people who can sit like this 🤣

Remember that time your mate said they know a guy who will do it cheaper..?
Yehhhhh, so that was probably me..
I'll wager your next tattoo that it still is..

Lets get this show back on the road 😈

Alright freaks, Golden hand was a fkn blast, I'm back, and books are now open again.
But firstly I need to say thankyou for all the support everyone has given my family and I recently.. We've been overwhelmed with donations of all kinds and it's been a huge help in getting us back on our feet after the fire. We're all beyond grateful 🙏
Anybody who donated please consider it a deposit for your next tattoo if you'll come and let me repay the favour 🙂

But to the real reason I'm back with my head still held high.. I didn't actually get too many pictures of the whole weekend, but couldn't feel any more blessed mingling with and tattooing alongside some of the countries greatest artists.. and with such an amazing crew who've given me so much opportunity and pushed me to get there.
Unreal, absolutely unreal.. No words other than thankyou right now 🥲
I honestly don't know what else to say so here's a photo dump to get some cosmic jizz flowing up in this b!tch again 🙃
..There are professional photos but I just needed to make this first one a personal post and speak from the heart before I kick things back into action.

All this fire did was ignite the passion in us to come back even bigger and better..
Thankyou, again.. 🙏😶‍🌫️
