Meet Abou: the UK’s only shoebill. 🖤 This magnificent, slightly prehistoric-looking lady lives at Exmoor Zoo and was the inspiration for the newest addition to my client’s growing collection of animals.

It’s been waaaay too long since my last visit to Hawksmoor so for birthday I finally made it to @hawksmooredinburgh and it was just as good as I remembered. Perfectly cooked steaks, fluffy chips, buttery bone marrow and of course the amazing sticky toffee pudding- worth a visit just for this alone. Shoutout to the amazing @johnsdevonsanctuary for gifting this to me 🫶🏼 #hawksmoor #steak #stickytoffeepudding #macandcheese #edinburgh

Some sessions stay with me forever. John is one of those clients who, over the years, quietly became a friend. Trust built slowly, naturally, session after session. This time, he came with a challenge I’ll never forget. A blindfold tattoo experience. No preview. No stencil. No safety net. He only saw the tattoo once it was finished. The only request was a fox. An animal he has a deep, real connection with through rescue work and shelters, especially during mating and cub season. Everything else was left entirely in my hands. I didn’t prepare a design beforehand. I drew directly on the skin, guided by movement, anatomy, and years of experience. Letting instinct lead. Letting the creative mind wander freely. This is what a one-on-one tattoo experience becomes when trust goes both ways. Present. Brave. Intentional. Swipe to see more of this special day and also some of his healed tattoos we did around 3 years ago. Thank you, John. This one will stay with me. 🇬🇧 London bookings open for a one-on-one tattoo experience at @sanspatrie.studio. Cartridges by @pepax.official. Explore the profile and reach out via the link in bio if something resonates with you. Fine line fox tattoo on the lower leg, drawn and tattooed freehand in a minimalist brush style. The fox is captured mid movement with flowing lines and soft shading, creating a sense of motion and instinct. Small star details and abstract elements surround the figure, giving the piece a poetic and symbolic feeling. Custom one on one tattoo experience focused on trust, intuition, and intentional design. 中文关键词： 伦敦纹身艺术家 细线纹身 狐狸纹身 极简纹身 手绘纹身 定制纹身 一对一纹身体验 高端纹身 艺术纹身 线条纹身 自然灵感纹身

This is John’s sleeve, we started last year incorporating ideas to his arm, I believe it’s his 14th time seeing me (not for the same arm). I can’t thank enough for always trusting my work, this last piece is my vision of the boy version of John, this is a tribute to him, to playful times and light breeze in the summer. This tattoo was done @sacredgoldtattoo @johcou78 you’re a blessing and a sunshine, John’s days are always happy days! My bookings are open for London ♥️ Next Guest Spots: June: @parliamenttattoo August: @debutstudios

John’s days are happy days ✨ I couldn’t thank you enough for always trusting my work, I’m so grateful to having you! This time we added the mindfulness symbol in water shape and also a Latin phrase: Per Ambulationem ad Claritatem, This phrase directly emphasizes the act of walking as a means to achieve mental clarity and insight. It highlights the idea that walking can serve as a mindful practice, helping to clear the mind and gain perspective on one’s thoughts and emotions. It encourages the practice of walking meditation as a way to cultivate mindfulness and inner peace.
