The placement of this...👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Falling sycamore helicopters for the lovely Ellis.

It's been a while since I've done a chest piece, and I've forgotten how much I love them! We wanted something that balanced out the tattoo on Emma's opposite shoulder but was still delicate along the collarbone.

Progression on Yilan's flowing back piece, bringing influences from China and Scotland together

Memories of the Algarve coast for lovely Wendy to compliment her healed irises from a few years ago x

Crawling ivy tendrils and moth friend for Nicki, as part of a larger full arm project 🐍

Family ties of sweet pea, aster, poppy, lily of the valley, daisy, and of course a bumble bee

She's not quite done yet, but I absolutely love how Hazel's tummy piece has been progressing. After holding a sweet little baba for 9 months and enduring a section scar, her tummy wanted some tattoo love. We have had to be careful with the delicate skin and take it slow, but I can't wait to see how it comes together. Thank you, for being wonderful x

Still so in love with this piece. I can't help but think of this project at this time of year, as all of the long grasses bend in the breeze

An absolutely ginormous thank you to Gayle, who started this sleeve with me last August. It has been such a pleasure to get to know her and incorporate so many wonderful elements of her various homes over the years. We plucked flora and fauna from Zimbabwe, Canada, and, of course, Scotland x

We are a few sessions into Katie's memorial sleeve now, and it's starting to take shape. The harrier hawk and roses are healed up, but we have a few more elements to include above the wren before we branch it all together.

Not your typical spring photos, but the wet weather recently has made for some incredibly moody morning walks.

Young birch leaves for Marian. These beauties are an important part of her process at

A sweet little garden bird and rose added to Clare's arm to help fill it out a bit more. Next time, more grasses! xx

I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to add more forestry from Finlands Lapland to Iiris' arm. Thank you so much for flying to work together again!

My books will be opening again on June 1st for appointments in July, August, and September. I'll put the link in my Instagram bio on the 1st. Look out for my stories for Q&A sessions to answer any questions you might have.

Looking forward to it!

Hello fern, my old friend 🌿

Oh man, what a stunning week we had on Mull. Surrounded by miles and miles of beautiful fields, craggy cliffs, and lucky enough to have the sunshine the whole time, we couldn't have asked for a better week away. I still can't get over how adorable puffins mannerisms are.

Mama orca and her calf for Jennifer. Im really pleased with how this piece has come together, it's definitely got me thinking about projects with other animals!

Right now, im looking forward to some much needed screen-free time in a lovely cabin on the Isle of Mull. Maybe I'll even get some more sea life inspiration while there.

Added a final few little critters to Soozies arm a few weeks back. I love how wild this piece feels.

I'm so grateful to the lovely Bee for taking on this design concept that I put together. We modified a few elements to better suit her particular anatomy and included a few more incredible insects. Thank you for your time, dedication and patience to the process! Big love

Windswept birch branches for Bella, thank you!

We started Katie's memorial sleeve on Saturday. I'm looking forward to bringing this project together with other meaningful bits of flora and fauna 🙌🏻

Had such an incredible walk on Sunday with a friend. It's so nice to finally see little glimpses of spring and be inspired for upcoming projects

Birds. I adore them and all of their cheeky, playful ways. It would be a dream to tattoo one of these pieces or something similar with a different collection of birds and insects.

Nikki's sleeve is coming together so beautifully. We started with a few peonies and roses to honour her parents and their well tended garden, and now it's grown into a wild and wonderful piece of her. Working on the inner side in the next session, and I can not wait!

My books are still open for the moment, just fill out the form on my bio x

Healed smiley trash panda on Jennifer. We've got another pair of animals we're working on next, this time from the sea 🌊, I can't wait to share it!

Thank you to everyone who had already filled out a form, the projects look incredible so far! I'll keep them open until the 10th.

Throw back to Lena's tattoo from last August - done over 2 days. I 100 000% want to play around with space again like this for upcoming projects. I love the delicate presence without being too heavy.

Tell me your thoughts

Blue himalayan poppies for Louise, using references from Edinburgh's Botanical Gardens from last May. Can't wait to see these beauties this year!
