Milo the Cat

Emma messaged me wanting a tattoo of her cat Milo. She wanted something different, not just a cat tattoo, she had an existing piece on her other thigh with minimalist geometrical elements so we wanted to hint at that in the cat piece whilst having it's own identity. 

I love doing sentimental pieces. 

Kefalonian Turtle

This client loves Greece and their Turtles. She wanted something to symbolise her love for the country and the experience with the Turtles there. I think we delivered!

Hanya mask piece

Our client wanted to have a thigh piece involving a hanya snake design with added blossom. We created this demonic style piece.

Floral hip piece

Our client wanted to have a floral piece on her hip down over the thigh. 

Hades tattoo

A returning client previously had Ares on his outer forearm. He came back to us for another insanely detailed tattoo this time of Hades, God of the Underworld.

Odie tribute

Our client lost her dog Odie. We created this stunning fineline piece that she wears close to her heart forever more.

Friendship tattoos

Matching tattoos for 2 best friends.

Heidi Crown

Lest we forget complete

My client wanted both calves tattooing with an original lest we forget design. We have created 2 separate designs, however, when legs are placed together they also become 1 bigger image.

Pet rabbits

Max came to us for his very first tattoo. He wanted a tribute to his 2 pet rabbits. Something minimalist, something simple with a cartoonist edge.

Lego love

What a way to show your love for your Lego loving partner! An amazing fineline Lego tribute tattoo.

Detailed baby elephant

Our client recently had a child and wanted a baby elephant and bee tattoo with the name Daphne and her date of birth below it. She gave us a simple sketch and we created this beautifully detailed piece for her.

Floral portrait

Quite often I will post on my socials designs I'd love to tattoo at discounted rates. This is one of those and it made a fantastic thigh piece.

Religious tattoo

Mick came to us with an idea of starting a religious sleeve. He wanted to firstly have a sole tattoo of a specific design he found online. 

Floral side piece extension

As previously posted the client came to add floral borders to some text on her side. This time she wanted to extend it further. We designed an original mandala piece that sits beautifully giving even weight to the design and filling the empty space elegantly.

Matching shoulders

Healed images of the matching shoulders previously posted.

Lotus Sternum

Fineline lotus sternum piece created for our client. She had an idea straight down the centre but wanted to extend the width of the design. This is what we created.

Fairy

This lovely client came to us with an image shed found online that she wanted on her right rear shoulder. We completed the piece with detail and contrast. She loves it and so do we. 

Trapped.

Another detailed portrait piece with personal hidden meaning for this client.

Alice in Wonderland

We've started a custom Alice in Wonderland sleeve. I love this project

Anubis

Years ago this client had an Anubis Tattoo. The previous artist decided to ink it in yellow to represent sandstone. Needless to say it had completely diminished. He gave us a drawing of what he wanted it to look like. I redesigned it and delivered a stunning piece of art he can wear with pride.

Circus piece

Our client loved all things circus. She got ai to generate an image for her which was a jumbled mess. We took the elements from the design sh had created, reconfigured them in a way that made things flow and tie together nicely. We discarded all of the unnecessary flash details in the backdrop and created a fineline masterpiece.

Upper arm cover.

A returning client had an old tribal design on her upper arm. She wanted to start a cover and potential sleeve encompassing family and flowers. We started this piece that embraces both beautifully. More highlighting to do on the flowers and details to add.

Decorative abdomen piece

Our client came to us wanting a specific design she had found. What our clients want, our clients get. 

Covering old text.

When impulse tattoos are a regret... Our client had some text tattooed just above her knee which she had fallen out of love with. We covered the text completely with this banded floral design. 

Matching shoulders.

This client had an existing floral piece on her left shoulder. She wanted an exact replica on the right shoulder with additional humming birds added to each side. We copied the design and delicately tattooed the piece with finely detailed humming birds and shading to match the previous artists work on the opposite side. 

(Apologies I forgot to take photos before I applied the 2nd skin 🤦🏻‍♂️)

Floral Thigh

Our client loved a piece she found online. We tweaked it to suit her positional needs. Reimagined the shading as the original was very basic. And this is what we delivered.

Floral side piece

Client asked for a floral piece to encompass some existing text. We created a beautiful fineline curved vine structure to flow with the contour of the body, decorated with beads and drops.

2 yellow roses

Client asked for 2 yellow roses to commemorate her Grandma. We delivered a beautiful fineline coloured piece that she can wear with pride

Jesus dove

We previously tattooed a Jesus portrait on this client. He can back and we added a dove and cross with some clouds and light bursts to enhance and complete the piece.

Geometric Atlas

This client found an Atlas image he wanted tattooed. The figure alone was quite plain and didn't sit right. We added a geometric  backdrop to give the image character and fill the empty space 

Tattooed Girl

An awesome portrait piece of a tattooed girl with piercing blue eyes. As it heals the grey tones will soften to give smooth transitions and textures.

Skull filler

A beauty of a collar filler pieces with this skull. The angla and shape fits the contour of the collar and neck perfectly

A take of 2 friends

2 good friends came to mark their friendship with matching tattoos. They couldn't choose between 2 similar designs so we created an original design that merged the 2 for them. 

Kraken skull

We have made a start on a Pirate themed sleeve here. Covering an old tribal design we are starting with a skull and Kraken tentacles. A gem in the mouth alongside the tentacles will eventually cover the tribal completely. More to come as we progress.

Floral band

This client came to us with a text tattoo that wanted covering just above the knee. She wanted something modern and floral, so we started this floral band piece which we will continue all the way around the leg.

Plague Doctor

Fun little Plague Doctor on the collar for this Client. Heavily saturated blacks with grey wash in the transitions really being this to life

Floral nature

A client came to us with a few daisies and a butterfly in various positions on the upper arm. We added more of the same trying to match the style of the previous artist, filled the gaps to tie everything together with addition of the word "Mum" as requested.

Cross

simple but effective. A crisp clean example of a cross behind the ear. We don't just create big pieces, we also love the little things in life.

Handprint

Ollie returned once again for another piece. This time for the handprint of his newborn child Jude. We managed to capture the exact print that was made at home, dark, bold with flecks and negative space lines. 

Family tree piece

The client wanted a fineline style tattoo to pay tribute to his 2 children, and also the child he lost through miscarriage. We incorporated the names and dates for Logan and Lilah, and a dove flying from the tree towards the heavens for the child they lost. We also included the word family. We decided together the word family would have pieces missing to signify that theirs was missing part of theirs due to the loss of their child. A very touching and thoughtful piece.

Ares portrait piece

The start of what will become a mythical gods sleeve. 1st to be completed, Ares, the god of war.

Claire came to us wanting a fineline wrist wrap with poppy flowers. We designed and Tattooed this piece for her.

Leanne had an 18 year old blue and yellow butterfly in need of a makeover. We refreshed and reshaped the Butterfly and extended it with the addition of a decorative vine and a few extra Butterflies.
