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… 😎

Now, I truly enjoy it! After I figure out the water part and cloud part I feel more comfortable and relax. I love this landscape moment. Progress is a key, it will come. Give it time 🫡🧡

Who cares, have fun, explore, get out of your comfort zone and get that bloody tattoo!!! 🫡💕

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!

I will say that over and over - we don’t deserve I will say that over and over - we don’t deserve pets! They are an absolute pain in the ass most of the times 🤣 but we would give up anything for them at any time. I would do anything for my Little Fluff. So enjoy some of my recent pet portraits! So many emotional sessions, it’s so worth it ! 💕

LA - what a week of fun, happy tears and just full LA - what a week of fun, happy tears and just full on holiday mode. It was definitely needed! As well as the sun haha. 

I would never ever believe that I would be able to go for holiday to Venice Beach and watch my husband play ball 🏀 in his favorite place with strangers who shares the same passion. Everyone’s welcome, everyone is happy - forgetting about the worries of being. Or that I could walk into real life Hogsmeade and Hogwart at 30+ and cry like a baby. You are never too old to dream, to make your inner child happy. Even with the smallest things, smallest pleasures. Go get that bloody cookie 🍪 🧡 

Now onto the new week, The Big Apple, more adventures, city mode, shopping mode, celebration of Liggud’s early birthday. Theme: 🏀!
