Finally, a break after some intense weeks! My brai Finally, a break after some intense weeks! My brain's fried, so the rest is welcome. I recently started working on a leg sleeve for my husband, beginning with the thigh piece, and I'm loving getting back into black work! After a long break from bigger projects and mostly color pieces, this is a refreshing change. London was busy as always but it was so nice to see everyone at @auraninetyfour. I was also busy reading all of the amazing books by my lovely and super duper talented clients. I highly recommend Megan’s and Jessie’s books. Completely different vibes but both worth it. Can't wait to dive into more projects, whether in color or black - tattoos are amazing, and there's something for everyone! Time to recharge and refocus. Excited for the week ahead 🧡

LUSH Cosmetics x Maiko I want to extend my heart LUSH Cosmetics x Maiko I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to LUSH for partnering with me on this exciting project! The event's success has left me speechless. A huge thank you to everyone who attended, brought guests and contributed to the evening's lively atmosphere! Discussing tattoos and skincare was both informative and enjoyable, and I'm grateful for the connections we made. I hope you found the event as enriching as I did and picked up valuable insights on maintaining your tattoos. Your enthusiasm during the bath bomb-making activity was infectious - it brought back memories of childhood play! The LUSH team's warm hospitality, particularly the soothing hand massages, was exceptional. As a tired tattoo artist, it was a welcome indulgence! Once again, thank you to my loyal clients, new acquaintances and the incredible LUSH team for creating an unforgettable experience. I eagerly anticipate our next collaboration!
Another perspective on the stunning project Rose a Another perspective on the stunning project Rose and I worked on for 10 hours straight! What a day it has been, I'm blown away by how well it turned out. It looks incredible on Rose. I'm excited to take on bigger projects. Planning ahead and designing a full arm or leg in colour would be amazing. What a thrilling idea to look forward to.

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. Done at the @goodtattoostudio using @pepax.official needles and @barber_dts supplies.
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.

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. Done using @pepax.official needles and @barber_dts supplies.

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… 😎
