Floral flash 🌿🌸

Two little floral flash pieces in one session.

Getting multiple tattoos in the same session usually works out a little cheaper, so it’s a great excuse to pick a couple you’ve had your eye on 👀

Love these designs - simple, delicate and easy to wear.

DM to book your next flash piece 🤍

Client chose a piece from my flash book, and I recreated it completely freehanded onto the skin to follow the natural flow of the body.

Machine linework + hand-poked stippled leaves ✨

Would love to create more pieces in this style!

A custom Karioi Mountain piece for Eshan.

Inspired by a place that means something, with a subtle Cancer star sign in the sky.

This one was created using a mix of machine work and hand poke for the shading, giving the piece an organic, textured finish.

Custom pieces with a story behind them 🤍

Custom herb bundle for Kiera.

Had a loose brief - a few specific herbs and the idea of keeping the roots in.

The rest came together naturally.

I've been enjoying making more organic pieces like this. by @cbd.tatts

Client came in with a clothesline tattoo idea she had seen on Pinterest, but we switched it up to make it her own - adding in personal touches like cowboy boots and a bikini 🤠👙

Love how this one turned out… simple, cute, and very on-trend right now. by @cbd.tatts

Hand poke Raglan landscape.
Made for Sam - capturing a feeling of the place rather than mapping it exactly. Simple, slightly abstract. Been enjoying making more pieces like this. by @cbd.tatts

Custom hand poke whale 🐋

Placed on the thigh, this was a special one - created to sit over existing scars and transform the area into something softer and more intentional.

Hand poke is a much gentler technique on the skin, which makes it a great option for working over previously damaged areas or more sensitive placements.

A slower process, but one that really respects the skin - and the story behind it.

Grateful for the trust on this one. by @cbd.tatts
