Today is a first day of autumn and you must know i Today is a first day of autumn and you must know it is my favorite time of the year. I love summer as much as the next person but autumn is special. I love cosy evenings with a blanket, hot beverage and a good book 😈🤭 Autumnal flowers are coming out and I’m here for it. I love the deep colours, so matured and with that intense depth. More autumnal tattoos please. All the colours that are coming out. When the weather is right is is absolutely perfect. The mood is there, we just need more free time to enjoy it. Acorns scattered around on the ground always reminds me of my childhood. I used to lived near woods and the first few trees were oak trees: which means the whole road and our yard was covered in them. We use to pick them and make a little stick characters from them. Life was easier then 😁 That’s my fav part. All of the spawns of satan are gone! Especially mosquitoes. I’m allergic to them so autumn was finally the time I could breath and rest and don’t think about all of the sprays and precautions that I needed to take before I left the house. Be gone! And finally… the spooky season! Hell to the f*cking yeah. Love this whole vibe. The pumpkins,🎃, Halloween, candles and magic - that’s what the autumn is about.

1. Life lately was about making my house the fun p 1. Life lately was about making my house the fun place that makes me feel good, happy and joyful. Silly, quirky little things, full of Vinted finds, colours. I love how it all turned out and I’m still not finished! I still have some paint jobs to finish and then I will show you all what I did. 2. Making matcha at home became my new favorite time in the morning. I feed the cats and then I’ll enjoy my cuppa. I can definitely tell the transition from iced lattes to warm versions. Autumn is definitely coming. 3. So many interesting designs recently. Definitely keeping me entertained at work 😁 Finished booking Jan - May 2027. I still can’t believe how many of you trying to get booked in with me. It’s insane and I am super grateful for all of you. 4. Well, perfect example of a woman’s grip. 🙄 The drink was looking spectacular but the taste definitely underwhelming. Mainly just banana. Good but more for the looks than taste. 😅 5. Finally having some time on my hands to read! Just me and the books. Currently reading all of the TOG and CC before the new ACOTAR. Am I the only one that thinks her first books of the series are always a bit boring? And then it’s picking up later on? 👀 6. New hair! I absolutely love them. I was waiting for so long to do cut like that, to grow the hair and have the layers and fringe etc. Obsessed with the new look. Surprised how many people didn’t recognize me 😅 one of my favorite outfits recently. 7. This week I am having a bit of a slower work week because we have a friend coming over and I really appreciate that time. Even tho the weather is disappointing I still can’t wait to get out somewhere and have a fab time. 8. Mizu loves the weather change. He’s so much more energetic and playful. I love seeing him like this. Well he does hates me today because it was a trim,cut,clean,brush day and he’s not a fan. 💙 9. Bank holiday breakfast in such a gorgeous place. The food was really nice and I actually saved a little blue tit from the pub’s log burner! I’m not joking, the waiter was too stunned to speak and didn’t know what to do. So I helped that little thing and got him out 🫣 Liggud is my witness haha what a day it was.
No ideas for the caption. Just simple tattoo, sing No ideas for the caption. Just simple tattoo, single picture, no hooks, no crazy music or polls to attack the constant attention. Just simple design. Appreciate it or not - it’s up to you. But let’s normalize simple posts in this crazy social media world. No dramas, just peaceful engagement 🫡✨

Last month dump. 1. Did some renovations and cha Last month dump. 1. Did some renovations and changes at home. Beerus aka The Gangsta Rat is loving the new @ikeauk chair. 2. Quick visit to Wroclaw. Always feels like home. New handmade bag @by_gingerka I love handmade stuff. 3. Wroclaw food scene is top notch my pancakes. The best food, huge variety and the quality is just on another level. This is @ato_ramen_wro where you can eat the best ramen 🍜 pistachio ramen is my fav from there. 4. @risobar_wro was another highlight of this weekend. We’ve met some friends over insane pasta and risotto. Tiramisu is one my favorite dessert so I had to try it. Especially with the name like that. I feel like the whole world knows this word 😂🫡 5. The reason for this visit. My dad’s 70th birthday. I had to order him the best cake ever. Since he’s a huge fan of Steven Seagal I had to use it. It’s my childhood memory of those films on repeat. Thank you @tortovita.wroclaw for making this whole thing happen. It was delicious. “Not to sweet 😈” Happy Birthday Big Guy ✨ 6. Summer in my city was always special. Seeing kids running around in the sprinklers in the sun, safe and sound without a care in the world was refreshing. It is a different vibe 🥰 I missed this. 7. Mizu is not happy about the heatwave tho. He’s hot and bothered. We need to think about the ac in this new climate. 8. Coming back to training after 1,5 month break is weird. You kinda remember some stuff but you don’t hah. I’m getting there. Something is clicking in my head. That’s where all my bruises are coming from those who are asking all the time 😂 just a bit of jiu-jitsu. 9. Ah Bruno, Bruno. That was one of the most skilled show I’ve seen. The music, sound, dancing etc. Everything was insane. Definitely a bit highlight of this year! 🥹🧡 10. Back to Wroclaw and his oldschool vibes. Currently siting on the Wroclaw airport and one part of me wants to come back to my coool house and kitties, but the other would love to stay and enjoy the whole summer here. Maybe an idea for the future. 😈 11. And this guy @liggud dealing with all of my shenanigans at home. Dealing with 253 screws in one tiny cabinet because it was pink and I wanted it

Bardzo spóźniona rolka z mojej pierwszej wizyty w Bardzo spóźniona rolka z mojej pierwszej wizyty w Warszawce w tym roku [myślałam że straciłam materiały]. @qubi_nowak poprosił o połączenie dziarek, które już miał zrobione przez kogoś innego w jedną spójną całość. Coś dorysowaliśmy, coś dokleiliśmy i wyszło takie o. Dzieki bardzo za opcje, miło było poznać. Czy mogę już się nazwać Oficjalnym Tatuażysta Polskiej Kadry? 😂✨ Another very delayed video from my first visit in Warsaw this year. [I thought I lost the videos 🫣]. Kuba asked me to connect two tattoos that he already had on his arm to make it a bit more cohesive. Thank you for letting me do this for you. May I call myself an Official tattooist for the National PL Team?

An idea first, than some cancellations and a windo An idea first, than some cancellations and a window opened up and two days later - boom! This piece happened. Love the placement, the berries. The colours. Everything works.
I think we are done! ✅ We’ve started this sleeve I think we are done! ✅ We’ve started this sleeve last year in Kraków 🐉 and we’ve got to finish it in Notts! 🏹 Thank you Rachel for a fun idea that gave me nightmares and nausea hahah! Despite the ugly and weird animals that you made me do I actually really enjoyed tattooing all of it. Maybe apart from that sea slug creature… that’s vile. But what I’m trying to say is - even tho I absolutely hate creatures like that I still enjoy doing the big project! It’s one of my first big designs since my shoulder is all good and back to normal. And I’m super proud of it. And that’s something I never say 😂 Please let’s do more of big stuff like that! I would also love to try do some bigger portraits of an actual person 😅 if anyone wants to be a guinea pig 😈 please step forward 🙏😂 #sleevetattoo
I love this placement and the colours of this tatt I love this placement and the colours of this tattoo. Pink, red and green are going so well together. Dog roses are definitely up there on my “favorite flowers to tattoo” list. #rosetattoo

Life update: 1. The colour story on this picture Life update: 1. The colour story on this picture was so spectacular that I had to take a pic. The piss stench tho was not it. Powerful. 🙄 2. This whole trip was definitely sponsored by matcha 🍵 I’ve tried so many and currently Warsaw and Wroclaw are on top. Krakow… shame on you. Step up your game, wth? 3. The sun it finally sunning! Out and about, oh how lovely. Burn me alive please! I need it after almost a decade in UK. 🇬🇧 4. So much blackwork in Poland and I can’t be happier about it. So refreshing, new energy for tattooing, new fresh mindset. That’s what I needed. Don’t worry I’m not abandoning colour, chill out. 😎 5. The best day ever. If you’re in krakow you must go there. Be Happy museum is a fun place with sh*t ton insta pic opportunities. But you need a stupid friend like me to go with you, to hype you up! 😈 6. Asparagus season is Poland is what I needed. So fresh, so good. Food is life, life is food. 🥘 7. I’ve visited my friends at there BJJ practice and it was amazing. After a few weeks off from training it was nice to come back to it and have fun. Yes he dropped me. I am mid flight there ✈️ nice one Krzysiu. Nice one 🤌 8. The best tee I’ve ever seen. And it’s so accurate for me. The amount of times I spill matcha on me is alarming. 🫣 9. Ah my beautiful Wrocław. I can’t explain how safe I feel in here. Everything comes backs. All the memories, friends, places. It’s changing a lot but for some reason stay exactly the same for me - perfect. I hope to be back here for good one day. I miss this place a lot. You’ve read my entire essay? You will be rewarded by reading fairies 🧚 with a one week of 15 seconds more sleep per day. Be grateful, be happy. 😃 Have a fav weeekend! ✨
That was a very lovely day with @jessiecave Thank That was a very lovely day with @jessiecave Thank you so much for your trust. It was a pleasure to meet you and do both of the tattoos for you. Floral hearts are one of my classics. People loved them since lockdown. It started from a random drawing and turned into something I would called a obsession haha. I can’t even count how many I’ve done.
So my clients contacted me to help with a tattoo o So my clients contacted me to help with a tattoo of her cat Jinx. It was looking a bit disconnected from the bottom part of the tattoo, everything was faded and it had the “not finished” effect. As you know I don’t really do reworks because I don’t think it’s possible most of the times. It’s a tricky job. 8 out of 10 it’s impossible with my style. This time tho the cat part was such a light “fineline” that I thought it could work. We could make it so much better - and oh boy we did it! I think now the tattoo looks complete and connected back together. I’ve added some more leaves to even out the composition and overall shape. What do you think? Is it better? Does it work?
What a lovely add on to the blackberries we did lo What a lovely add on to the blackberries we did loong time ago! It’s definitely my colours scheme. Love the deep orange and red tones. Autumn colours are one of my favorites. I would love to do more compositions like this one. Pretty please!
