Completed this cover today which should have been done 10 months ago. This was put back due to a baby being born in the meantime, so today it finally got sorted out.
In another baby related tattoo I also tattooed this baby footprint. Kudos to the Dad for buying face paints spending hours getting me a good enough print to work off. Enjoyed doing this.
So after weeks of waiting I finally got to tattoo my first of a set of jelly babies on one of my lovely regular customers Zoe! You know its a good day when your tattoo is making you smile as you are doing it. We will be completing another Jelly Baby at the Manchester Tattoo Convention in March. So here it is pink jelly baby!
And to top it all off Zoe gave me a couple of Jelly Baby necklaces she made from her Fyrefly Gems Jewellery Range!
Go team Jelly Baby!
I entered one of my tattoos in Bob Baxter, editor-in-chief of TattooRoadTrip.com, most humorous tattoo competition. I have just found out that I have managed to get into the final.
This is the tattoo I have entered. It made me laugh while I was doing it and hopefully it will make some other people raise a smile and all.
You can go look at all the entries at Bob Baxters Most Humorous Tattoo Competition and go vote for your favourite. Adam also has an entry in there of a pregnant pin up.
If you vote for either of us thank you in advance.
Its a good read in general so go look at the whole blog. Enjoy and I hope it brightens up your Monday Night.
After going through my photo memory cards and finally organising my photos I found a photo of a peony flower as a shoulder cap on a sleeve which I completely forgot I had a photo of. So here it is for your viewing pleasure!
I finished a piece of flash today, I redrew the piece to make it work better as a piece and was pretty enjoyable piece to do in the end. Fair play to my customer who sat like a trooper considering he was not feeling too well but wanted to get it finished.
The piece wraps around the thigh and will be getting some more background in it at a later date.
Another good day at the studio and I have managed to get most of my appointments all sorted out for the Manchester Tattoo Show. Good times!
Enjoyed doing this one today, the cards are taken from the cards he bought back from Las Vegas. We were talking about Las Vegas and all the fun it entails and it only made my mind up that I will be booking us a holiday to Vegas again this year! If you haven’t been you should go as it is amazing! I did however cause a bit of a problem for the lad as his girlfriend is now demanding to know what DID happen in Vegas….. I’m staying well clear of that one.

This is the latest addition to the alkaline trio flash project I am working on! Couple more then I will be transferring them all to watercolour paper ready for painting.
I have set myself a project to draw a load of flash designs relating to my favorite bands and songs and after a chat with Mel Noir from TattoosdayUK I have finally started to get my drawings together. I am starting with Alkaline Trio related flash. Here are the rough drawings before I transfer them to water colour paper.
I will not be in the studio on Saturday 29th January as I am having a day off. The studio is open as usual so you can book in for an appointment if you dont need to discuss your tattoo with me.
Studio appointments are being taken, can my regulars note that I now work Thursdays if you would like an appointment please get in touch!
My weekend slots are filling up quickly so if you are after any work doing at the weekends contact me so I can get you booked in.
