New work – cherry blossom and swallow tattoo
Did a wee bit more to finish this tattoo... The cherry blossom branch is a cover up of an old feather tattoo.
Work in progress – sketch of Raijin!
This sketch is for an underarm gap filler. Raijin! Thunder God! He uses the drums in the background to make thunder..!
Work in progress – Koi dragon tattoo
'Koi no taki_nobori' meaning koi climbing rapids... Carp swim upstream to become a dragon.. They have succeeded in climbing the river rapids. Determination to overcome all obstacles, evoking images of energy, power, courage, overcoming life's difficulties! From sketch to stencil to outline. This one is draping over the clients shoulder from chest to back.
Peony tattoo
Love Peonies! This stencil is for a gap filler for a client. Get in touch if you'd like something similar!
Some of my favourites…
Two awesome outliners! And best grey wash inks!
Work in progress – Chrysanthemum tattoo
From a freehand sketch, to a stencil, to a tattoo. This chrysanthemum tattoo is for a client we've already created a half sleeve for and now we're adding a chest plate. Chrysanthemum's are one of my favourite flowers, love tattooing them!
Work in progress – tattoo sleeve with dragon
Another session completed on this sleeve tattoo! Next session we'll continue work on the chest plate and maple leaves.
