This customer had this tattoo for her daughter; a fairy representation of her little girl :-)
Super hard to get a good picture of this tattoo, it's a semi realistic kingfisher, I really enjoyed this one; more like this please!
Another tricky one to photograph, this tattoo realistic scorpion has a hint of blue in the body at the customers request, I wasn't convinced this was a good idea at first but it actually works very well!
These little traditional swallows were a pleasure to tattoo. This was the customers first traditional pieces and I've a feeling he will be back for more, I'm chuffed to say he was over the moon with these :-)
This jellyfish is now forever residing on my boyfriends leg amongst lots of other nautical themed tattoos. Again I really enjoyed this tattoo realistic style and would love to do more of it.
When I saw the handful of stencilled silhouette birds for this tattoo... I'll be honest; I had my doubts! But once again my customers prove me wrong and this came out beautifully, it's so simple yet striking.
Now what tattooist doesn't like tattooing traditional classic things like this?! Enjoyed every second of it and it was nice to do a traditional piece in black and grey; adding a little twist on the norm.
Another semi realistic animal! Did I mention I love this stuff? I like to challenge myself and see how lifelike I can get things and each one I do gets me closer to realism :-)
Quite often I get assigned these smaller tattoos at the shop and although many tattoo artist like to think they are above these small walk ins, I like to keep grounded and I thoroughly enjoy treating each and every one of them as a work of art in itself. A tattoo is with a customer for life and regardless of how big your ego has got as a tattooist you must never forget that it may only be small to you but it's big to that customer: they will remember this day for life. So on that note here's a selection of my smaller pieces:
