Tattoos don’t hurt (not said by me) 😂😂

If you don’t laugh you cry so enjoy this video of me getting my lower arm blacked out 🤭🤡

Pain is beauty they say, beauty is pain 🥲

What I wore as a tattoo apprentice 😎🖤⛓️

From a year ago towards the start of my apprenticeship... can't believe it's been a year! 😲

#tattooapprentice #outfits #altgirl #alternative

Anyone else? 🖤✍🏽 It’s a huge comfort to me, often when I don’t have the words I can find them in music.

I can find release from my emotions through channelling them in what I draw. Sometimes it’s just a distraction from the world.

Some traditional roses from a year ago, early November 2024 (start of my tattoo apprenticeship) 😉🌹

My roses have come along way since, I’ll share my most recent ones soon. It’s been great to see improvement. 🫶🏽❤️

#Throwback to last October 2024

New kid on the block ☺️🖤

I learnt how to set up a station, (I didn’t get a video of that) and practiced my linework. Then moved onto practicing some roses 😊🌹

Can’t believe it’s been a whole year of my apprenticeship! 🤪🥹🫣❤️

What a ride!

The Big London Tattoo Show is bursting full of amazing artists and it’s a great opportunity to get inspired. 🎨

As a tattoo apprentice, it was super insightful getting to speak to several artists. There’s loads to learn and lots of cool things to see and buy.

LDN Tattoo Convention Vlog… Let’s go 🤪

Can’t wait for next year! 🥳

DARK ORNAMENTAL: SHOULDER DESIGN 🖤✖️

I originally did this design by hand but enhanced the solidness digitally. Super happy with how this turned out. 😎

Would you get something like this? 👀

Symmetry in bloom 🌸🖤

This floral mandala combines negative space with finer details. I also played around with a variety of shapes within this.

What do you think of this design? 😊

Skulls are definitely one of my favourite things to draw, I love how much you can sort of switch them up. ✨😌
