MY FRIDAY 13TH FLASH IS THE BEST

COME AND GET TATTOOED

Available to tattoo. First person to book it gets it. Done once only ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

Come get your face did

I am. So reach out.

This is what my artwork looks like when I put it in the skin. I hope it translates well.

One pass. 90 minutes. No led light and dark background. No filters. No ‘desaturating’ the photo. Just a happy dude with a fresh tattoo. Sure I could have spent three times as long. But this guy had a dream and a budget and I was happy to help. Remember: tattooers ain’t prophets or social commentators - it’s our job to make tattoos for proper who want them.

Real tattooers can do this. Come and get tattooed.

Book in with me now.

Another quick session on this. No need for bright led lamps in dark rooms with contrast tweaks. Pro tip: everybody knows that filtered or tweaked photos exist only to hide things, not to ‘show the best’ of your work. Have a great day; or even don’t. I really don’t care. I’m here to tattoo; the rest of life you’ll have to figure out yourself.

Scroll. Enjoy. Book in.

Which is your favourite?

Nice start to a different kind of sleeve today.

Great fun. Good times.

45 mins. Great fun

Let’s do this.

Slide number 3 for the stencil. Good walk in. 1 hour.

No tweaks. Just bad lighting and a lazy photographer. Good fun. Thanks Tyrone.

Empires aren’t given or found. They’re forged. Created. Built from nothing. Stay tuned.

For the artistic ones

I’m back.

Portal.

Nice tattoo that was booked in 3 years ago 😂 also… I took these photos with a potato, obviously

Chrome rules.

If you’re not producing art and making tattoos then you’re only *talking* about what you’re *going to do*; and anybody can do that. This is available to tattoo. I can do it in two sessions. Get at me now if you’d like this or anything else. Thanks for looking.

So this is the step-by-step process. Day 1: line the whole thing. Dragon was a stencil as were the blossoms. Rest drawn on with sharpie. Day2: shade the lower half of the arm (just the black and grey). Day 3: continue black and grey up to the top; leaving areas around the elbow. Day 4: finish shading the gray areas, then add colour. The client wanted the tattoo to be mostly black and grey with ‘hints’ of red. I wasn’t overly comfortable with just shading the petals in the Sakura, so suggested full colour for those, which he agreed with. I’ve spoken to him since and he’s keen to allow me to do more colour in the dragon; so next week we are doing just that. Each session has been 2 hours; meaning he’s had 8 hours of tattoo work so far. It took me around 2 hours to draw the dragon and Sakura; and perhaps 30 minutes to freehand on the clouds etc. this means so far he’s had 8 hours of tattoo work and 2.5 hours worth of design. I firmly believe that design planning is the backbone of a good tattoo sleeve. Realistically speaking, I can do a full colour sleeve in 3 day sessions. I’m available for a few more dates this month and keen to do deals on large scale work.
