Completely forgot to post this piece from a couple weeks ago but finally got to see it healed yesterday!

Feel like I really outdid myself with this one! Handpoke piece of Rory Culkin in Lords of chaos ❤️

Really loving making these more abstractly realistic pieces! More plsssss (first two slides fresh, 3rd slide healedddd babyyyy) this is a great example of how handpokes darken through healing ❤️

Gentle seaweed and pearl for a trade with my lovely friend Noah!

It's really lovely to see these repeatable pieces finding their own lil homes, I really loved designing them and I've really wanted to do them ❤️

Not tryna get shadow banned on here but so proud of this tattoo 🖤

When I began tattooing, I never felt confident in my style, it was too clunky, too unfinished, I couldn't get what was in my head onto the page. Being someone who's grown up with dyspraxia, feeling like my hands won't do what my brain wants them to is a pretty common experience daily.

But recently I've felt like my skills have come on in leaps and bounds, I've felt like my paintings and my tattoos are all of a sudden reflecting what's in my head.

I'm finally feeling confident in my tattoos and paintings and this was an absolute dream project to work on, from the initial online consultation to my client making adjustments and feeling comfortable asking for changes, I'm absolutely in love with this piece and thrilled to have been able to make it!

Look out Bristol! More where this came from!
