Chipping away... Love this Geisha piece! Saving the face till last, it's been a 2 year project so far so I want the face to be nice and crisp at the end!
WIP – Geisha tattoo sleeve
WIP – Nepalese/Tibetan tattoo
Another session done on this back tattoo! Some very fun cloud action on this Nepalese/Tibetan piece...
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.
Work in progress – Samurai tattoo
Working on this Samurai tattoo sleeve now!
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 – Hannya mask tattoos
Daniel traveled from Darwin and we did two full day sessions on his chest plate and sleeve tattoo! It features a Hannya mask on the chest and cherry blossoms, Koi fish and lotus flowers on the sleeve. Only one more session to go to finish this tattoo!
