Nu Skool Feather

This feather was drawn freehand onto the skin with a red marker and then tattooed in one session. Client brought in an "old school" sketch of a feather and I said to her that if I could kick it nu skool stylin' we could make things work out better. She had no problem with nu skool but wanted the feather to still be black and grey- so i guess she cramped my style colour theory wise lol.
She is stoked with the end result tho' and thats what counts :)
Machines used were all micky sharpz (micro dial for lining,T-Dial for shading).

Spook House!

Jake wanted a hand tattoo composed of a clouded moon, a coffin and a bat.
I drew up the design the way he wanted it and then did another piece of flash but with a haunted house instead of the coffin, as I thought that it would bring the piece together and make a better tatt. I always provide a second option for the client if I think I can improve on the original idea/design (if I have the time).
We only managed a 2 and a half hour session the other day before Goth Boy tapped out, can't say I blame him as hand tatts hurt like hell and he was hungover! Only another 1 hour session to go on this one, looking forward to packing in that blue/grey sky and finishing this tattoo.
Machines used were 2x micky sharpz microdial rebuilds (lining and outlining) and an old National Jonesy rebuild  for the shading.

Unsinkable

This nautical piece was great fun and was finished around the 3 hour mark.  A few of my Micky Sharpz rebuilds (microdial liner/microdial outliner/t-dial shader) were used for this session....they always come out of the drawer for old school artwork.
