The details really do matter! 👄
Good healed lip blush doesn’t just come down to the tattoo itself. Prep makes a huge difference too — especially with lips.
I’m really big on guiding clients through the whole process properly from pre-care, to healing, to long term results ✨
A little sneak peek at something new coming into the studio soon!

Soft hydrated lips = a much better canvas

No words can describe how I felt when it was time to say goodbye. You were everything to me my beautiful boy 🤍
Now I can see your face every day again 🐶 🤍
I always get a tonne of messages asking about drawings like this when I post so please feel free to reach out and I'd be more than happy to provide a quote 🤍
A back piece is such a huge commitment to the patience of the process of tattoo... but man is it impressive!! 4 sessions in and so much more to go 🔥
Would you get your back tattooed?? What would you get?
Achieving impossible levels of detail 😵💫
So honored to have been asked to create this piece it has such a deep and personal meaning behind it 🫶🏻
Going to allow this to heal then add a few more details and sharpen some things up 👏🏼
Thanks so much Dan has been a pleasure working with you 🙏🏻
Some tattoos carry more weight than others.
A long-time client came back to me after a few years, wanting to create something that honoured two people she loved deeply.
Not just a portrait, but a collection of the small things that held meaning in their lives — the details that only family understands.
Each element in this piece represents a memory, a moment, or a part of who they were.
Together they form something permanent she can carry with her.
Memorial tattoos are some of the most emotional work I get to do.
They’re not just tattoos — they’re stories, grief, love, and remembrance all held in one place.
If this resonates with you, share it with someone who might need it.
Sometimes the right tattoo can mean more than words ever could. 🕊️ 🤍
