Fishbones from arcane tattoo work in progress. After a decade of handpoking I am learning to use a machine and this was the first time I had used it on myself. Can’t wait for the second session

Healed hippogriff tattoo, made in 2019 in San Francisco. Love seeing my work long after creating it while catching up with who I made it for! @chrisjames_m

Turtles all the way down, now complete.

I so enjoyed making this piece, both because of the concept and the time shared creating it. I would love to take on more projects of this sort - please get in touch if you have any ideas you would like brought to life.

Cassiopeia constellation tattoo.

I just love how this one fit in with the others, bringing more stars to the sky. The ongoing constellation sleeve is really coming together. A beautiful project for a beautiful person. by @pangolintattoos

Turtles all the way down.
Work in progress, hand poked during a really beautiful day, filled with storytime and conversation in San Francisco.

Super happy with yesterday’s progress handpoking this large, abstract, arm tattoo, originally started in the jungle in Mexico. So lovely to catch up while working too! Can’t wait to see this completed during my time in San Francisco.

Whether in the Bay or UK and fancy getting some work done, please get in touch!

This cherry blossom was my first ever fully machine made tattoo, for a friend, a year ago in Reno, using larger needles than I usually go for, so a bit of different style for me. While I am always going to love super fine detail, I am delighted with how this piece turned out!
