added flowers

this was the second part of my day, after donna left i travelled to kilwinning to a new family referred to me through a friend of a friend. this one in particular now belongs to elaine. she already had the upright flower design but felt that it finished too abruptly and wanted it taken a little further around her waist to give the design a more complete look.

it took a couple of tries with our little sharpie pens but we finally came to design we were both happy with and i set to work.

it was difficult in one respect trying to make my work match up with the piece she already had but i think we managed it quite successfully.

we also added a couple of swirly bits to the final design which set it off nicely. elain was quite pleased and was off out that night with a brand new tattoo. hope you enjoyed the tribute acts elaine lol xx

celtic stars

this was the start of a very long day, a returning customer donna, wanting the three stars in the celtic colours arrived at my door at 12pm. its on the back of her neck and i think it looks quite cool. many people have commented on her choice of football team but they were all celtic fans so it was all good comments lol

her next one in the planning stages is a grey me to you bear in memory of her brother i think she said.

dragon to cover a snake

a new customer come for a cover up the original picture is a snake making its way in and out of the skin but this was done a few years back and kyle wanted it covered up so we did a japanese dragon design and i think i did a relatively good job xx

kabuki

this ine was hard work but good fun, emma had a house full of people who all wanted a little something. three of them were getting their first tattoos and one girl wanted a star in her ear. originally she wanted it coloured in but could only manage the outline in the end. i cant say i enjoyed the experience much either and ear is not a place i would recommend.

emma however wanted a green awareness ribbon for something called kabuki syndrome which is important to her. the japanese characters underneath the picture say kabui and the little flowers were added to make her look less like a poster print and more like a tattoo. she bled quite a lot and it took some working but i think the final result is lovely and emma is happy too.

thanks for having me round again emma see you soon xx

babyshambles

nope its not dejavu lol this is a different person, remember andrew that got the koi?? well this is his latest addition. baby shambles album cover with the name in the bottom scroll changed from pete doherty to f**k forever which is a song off the album.

Down in Albion is apparently another song written about the pub that pete frequents, so it was of course important enough to make it into the tattoo.

he also got oasis written on his lower arm and is coming back later for some oasis lyrics on his arm too. poor guy works nights and hadnt had any sleep whatsoever by the time he got to me, didnt know his ass from his elbow lol hopefully hell be more awake later on lol xx

davids collection

this is a tattoo i did before i went on holiday with the help of my daddy. its an image to represent davids pets, bolt, our dog and nugget, our lizard.

it was the first time i used some big flat needles and i was really suprised at how quick i got the thing done with them. ive used them a few times since and have really enjoyed the speed of the work x

the next one is a little tribute to ellis' most recent phase. the thundercats. david and i both loved the cartoon when we were little and now they have remade the series for cartoon network and ellis is loving it. we had a little trouble getting the red ink into david as it just didnt seem to be taking. looking at it today though it could just have been the bad light i was using lol poor david hahahaha
picture number three is of the stig. david has always been a fan of top gear and has always coveted the stigs job. he is hoping that if he sends a photograph to the show they might let him test drive a vehicle or two on the top gear test track. im quite proud of this one as it was really quick to do and really quite effective.

a busy nights work

this was a first tattoo and i think kellys ma was dead brave.. she initially thought it was going to be really painful but breezed through it as i knew she would. 47 and only just getting round to getting a tattoo lol what a girl.

well done kellys ma xxxx

kellys sister, who i think is called cherie but im not sure, she was just introduced as kellys sister lol got mum and dad too with a slightly different design underneath it was also her first tattoo and she was also really brave. sisters are doin it for themselves xx

this belongs to kellys pal Mariah though i dont know if ive spelt that right. she has gone home with dad on her hand with a little love heart and this on the back of her neck. the picture is crap as usual but it says Arms of the Angels, which are lyrics from a very beautiful song of that name and from the film city of angels.

mariah was really pale so i had a little bit of trouble gettin the black to be black but we got there in the end lol

and last but not least kelly came and got yet another one, a simple but very effective flowers and stars design on the outside of her right leg.

out of all of them she said this one hurt the most but i dont think its deterred her from getting anymore..

so 7 tattoos in three and a half hours , i dont think thats too bad lol im tired now though the concentration is exhausting xxx
