🍄 Tattoo gift vouchers 🍄
Not sure what to buy your tattooed (or to be tattooed) acquaintance, friend, lover, family member or enemy? How about gifting them something towards their next tattoo?
.
Can be made to any amount. Payment can be done via cash, card, bank transfer or PayPal. Happy to post physical ones (with an added postage fee), email digital ones or you can pick `em up in the studio. If you want one sent to you in time for Xmas, get in touch sooner rather than later 🎅
.
Valid for 6 months, can be used as a deposit when booking your appointment but you will need to bring it to your appointment to redeem! I don`t think there`s anything else I need to mention but feel free to pop me a message if you have any further questions, or you want to grab one.

If you want `em huge it`ll be a lil more but happy to discuss pricing in more detail through DM or email 🫶 For reference the `rot`one is about 2" x 1.5", the skin rip is about 6" x 2" and the tooth frame is 3" x 5"

My next available weekend appointments are in February. Got a bunch of weekday space in Dec/Jan at @old_sarum_tattoo (Salisbury) and @the_unseen_tattoo (Pompey). Your ideas or mine, big or smol, all tattoos are equal and fun and exciting in their own right 🫶❤️

I`ve replied to all messages (unless received today!) my emails are playing up a bit though, so if you`ve not received anything please feel free to pop over a DM instead!
.
If you fancy a bit of artwork that`s not a tattoo I`m equally down to discuss that, and am also happy to talk about custom chainmaille stuff 👀

Thank you, thank you, thank you ✨🤡
Hope ya have a great week!

🎉Happy Friday 🎉
Did a painting, posing w/her for scale (and attention I guess). I thiiiink she`s done but I`m not entirely sure, but I`m pretty certain! Swipe for close up details (it`s so hard to show everything via lil square images 😭 plus the first photo is awwwwful for the actual painting) was nice to work on something a couple of hours every evening or so (thanks cold weather) rather than trying to get it done in one go lol.
Watercolours on cotton rag paper w/microns, a bit of polychromos and acrylic ✨
I don`t really know what to do with her now but wanted 2 share 👉👈
