We're finally here! I'm excited to share this mile We're finally here! I'm excited to share this milestone project, now that my arm has healed enough to tackle bigger pieces. Creating this artwork was a true joy, and I'm excited to share it with you all.
Rose, I'm forever grateful for your remarkable dedication, sitting for an impressive 10 hours for your very first tattoo! Thank you for entrusting me with this meaningful piece.

“I’d always known I wanted a tattoo. My friends and family had great pieces that I was very jealous of, but when it came to getting one for myself, I could never think of a design that I was enthusiastic about. Until I saw Maiko’s piece. Seeing those flowers for the first time felt like being struck by lightning: the delicacy of the colours, the way the flowers flowed across the body, the bees buzzing around... it was exactly what I’d been looking for.”

My appreciation goes to @pepax.official for their ongoing support and exceptional needles, which consistently provide top-notch quality, precision, and comfort.
Thanks to @barber_dts for always being there for me.
And a huge thank you to @samtariq_ for creating amazing content that day.
Kitties unite! How hilarious is it that we're shar Kitties unite! How hilarious is it that we're sharing our home with this sassy little ball of fluff (aka the real owner, of course) who can switch between evil and adorable in a split second? Still, you'd ride into battle for them, do anything to keep them happy. They've got you wrapped around their finger, and you're totally fine with that. Because this little bundle of energy is exactly what you need in life.

What a special way to keep your favorite family me What a special way to keep your favorite family memories with you always. A beautiful piece to celebrate your loved ones, whether it's your children, parents, siblings, or pets! It's a one-of-a-kind, meaningful way to honor them, and it's sure to bring a smile to your face every time you see it. 

I'm obsessed with the @pepax.official needles I've been using - they're hands down the best I've tried. And while skill is what really matters, these needles are definitely making my job easier and my tattoos more precise. 

Shoutout to @barber_dts for hooking me up with all the rest of my supplies! From ink to cleaning supplies, soaps, stencils - you name it, they've got it. Thanks for being a constant source of support, I appreciate it more than you know.
Iconic characters, full of charisma, humor, and in Iconic characters, full of charisma, humor, and intensity. Their flamboyant costumes, with their vibrant colours and varied textures, were a constant source of inspiration and challenge as I tattooed various Johnny Depp characters. I am utterly fascinated by their distinctiveness. I would love to create more tattoos like these.

The last week and a half was so chilled and defini The last week and a half was so chilled and definitely needed. We were enjoying the sun and an amazing food around Notts, celebrating our 6 years wedding anniversary. Watching an amazing show “Alice” in the Royal Theatre, finally painting something on a real paper! Being silly with @liggud and @kang.mizu is always fun and it’s always what I need to detox. And the special Mizu tattoo! I’m very proud of it! As it’s not my usual. 

Have an amazing and peaceful weekend my pancakes 🥞
I know I only post my colour work and I don’t re I know I only post my colour work and I don’t really do blackwork anymore but this piece was special! And I had so much fun doing it! And I had to share it with you all! 

I couldn’t wait to tattoo this design for my Husband! Mizu the absolute King of the World is our first pet and honestly this big ass fluff changed my mind about cats. He’s so the sweetest “little” thing but he’s definitely a posh kitty, and he owns us and the house and he’s gracefully allowing us to rent his space. 

I’ve never say this but I’m super proud of this tattoo, especially after a long time of not working with black and greys! And I hope you’ll love it as much as we do. @kang.mizu knows he’s gorgeous so don’t worry about him. In his mind everyone should’ve had tattoo of his face on their bodies… 😎

Dear New York, you have stolen my heart. ♥️ I Dear New York, you have stolen my heart. ♥️ 
It was my dream to visit NYC since I was a kid, but I was always nervous that when you love something from a far it will disappoint you once you’re close. Not this time. I’m gone fully in awe of this place. Full of life, energy, inspiration. Everything is possible, the opportunities and connections. It’s impressive. 

Going through the pictures from our trip makes me happy and sad in the same time. I want to come back like now!  But this time with Mizu with me because I missed his fluffy ass so much! 

Thank you for so many reactions  and comments to our trip pictures, I hope you felt even 5% of what we did being there. I’m done - coming back to your amazing emails to finish bookings for 2025! 

Enjoy a little carousel with NY pictures. I hope you will like it x 

Thank you NYC!
