Snake Skin Tattoo
Custom freehand snakeskin tattoo showing through torn skin on the lower leg. Completed in one sitting.
Coat of Arms Tattoo
The Cartwright family coat of Arms. A family crest tattoo with a lot of history which required some research.
London Polka Tattoo
A style of tattooing that I enjoy and would very much like to explore further. This tattoo is fully healed.
Rose and Dagger Tattoo
Old school style tattoo which I designed for an ongoing client and sleeve, more to come on this, please excuse the distortion in the elbow, no easy way to get a decent picture.
Kingfisher Tattoo
Simple colour King Fisher tattoo completed in one sitting. I really enjoy tattooing birds and wildlife. Please ask to see some of the bird reference material that I have.
Old School Tattoo
Old school cupid tattoo featuring a heart and arrow. Another style which I really enjoy doing, again I have a collection of traditional old school flash, please ask to see it.
Watercolour Wolf Tattoo
Watercolour tattooing is not my usual style, but I have done a few now and I am starting to really enjoy this style of tattooing.
Dragon Chest Plate
This dragon tattoo is quite a heavy duty cover up. Underneath is a tribal style tattoo that was popular in the 90's. Time for a change.
Ying and Yang Tattoo
This was a fun tattoo as the client had a very clear idea of the finished product, I just had to change a few things to make the tattoo work.
Watercolour Flower Tattoo
Watercolour flower tattoo on the inside of the bicep completed in one session. If you have an idea for a watercolour tattoo then please do get in touch.
Symbol Tattoo
If memory serves, this is from Harry Potter? We did it in a watercolour style and distressed the symbol a bit just to keep it original and custom.
underwater tattoo sleeve
This ongoing underwater sleeve features a jellyfish, clam and Orca with more to come, the clam is fresh and the rest that can be seen is healed.
Session Work
A slightly bigger colour tattoo in progress. Some tattoos take slightly longer to finish than others. But with discipline and commitment we get there in the end.
Golden Dragon Tattoo
Another cover up tattoo. This time we used a bright golden dragon and a Japanese theme to cover the original tattoo.
British Bulldog Tattoo
A new school take on an old school tattoo, the traditional Bulldog tattoo. This one is clearly King.
Chow Chow Tattoo
Customer bought me a picture of his Chow Chow dog, never seen the breed before, looks like fun. We completed the tattoo in one sitting.
Wildlife Tattoo
A small part of a much bigger project. This is part of a full blown jungle scene, this piece was done in one sitting. Mandrill primate.
Peacock Tattoo
The ongoing Jungle Tattoo. Possibly not jungle correct, we are adding animals that we want to add with the occasional skull. Lion and Peacocks in harmony on the chest.
Cover Up Tattoo
This art deco style panther is a take on the original black panther. Interestingly the black panther climbing the arm tattoo was originally a wallpaper design.
Neo Traditional Tattoo
another style that I really enjoy is this old school, new school style. If you like old school tattoos give me something to re draw in this style and lets see what we can come up with.
Tibetan Dagger
another old school - new school design and another snake and dagger. If you are a fan of this style please get in touch and lets discuss your next project.
Legend of zelda
another symbol tattoo this time take from the Legend of Zelda. I believe this tattoo was taken from reference supplied by customer.
Robin Tattoo
Just a simple Robin in flight with no background as requested by my customer. Birds are one of my favourite things to tattoo and I have some vintage designs that I would really like to tattoo.
Chrysanthemum tattoo
This Chrysanthemum tattoo has been done in a Japanese style, it is part of a bigger ongoing tattoo. I enjoy tattooing in the traditional Japanese style.
Watercolour Horse Tattoo
I have been drawing horses for years. Any wildlife for that matter. If you would like a wildlife inspired tattoo then get in touch and lets discuss ideas.
New School Koi Tattoo
Had a lot of fun with this fish. It is a freehand take on a fancy Koi. Part of an ongoing underwater themed sleeve which is featured elsewhere in this gallery.
Roses Tattoo
Although this tattoo may appear to be in the wrong gallery, if you look closely you will notice that this tattoo has been done in Opaque Black and Grey and not original black and grey.
Lucky Horseshoe Tattoo
Just a simple, Old School Lucky Horseshoe tattoo. Old School tattoos are tried and tested and stand the test of time. Sometimes less is more.
Freehand Tattoo
Just some freehand colour flowers.
Lotus Tattoo
a lotus tattoo in a new school style. Usually most of the Lotus I do are in a traditional Japanese style. This one was unusual as it is a little bit new school.
Green Dragon Tattoo
A green dragon done in a traditional Japanese style with a lotus background. Quite often water and flowers are used as a background for Japanese designs.
No Laughing Matter
Getting tattooed is no laughing matter. Unless of course you decide to have a set of wind up joke teeth tattooed on you. then it is.
Derek Hess Tattoo
this tattoo is taken from the artwork of Derek Hess. I have tattooed much of his artwork and one of my tattoos features in one of his books.
Skull Tattoo
New school style skull tattoo with cherry blossoms. This is a fully healed tattoo.
Reworked Tattoo
An old school tattoo that had been in the skin many years. I re lined the tattoo and re coloured it. This takes less time than a new tattoo and some old tattoos can be refreshed nicely.
Pin Up Girl
Check out my black and grey gallery. I put this one in colour because my black and Grey gallery is very full, that is what I am mostly known for. I would like to do much more colour work!
Gypsy Girl Tattoo
Another traditional old school tattoo that has been redrawn for this customer. If you have an idea for an old school or neo traditional tattoo then get in contact.
Floral Tattoo
Another floral tattoo. This tattoo is completely healed.
Dotwork Tattoo
A Dotwork pattern. Instead of tattooing with the usual technique this tattoo is made up of a series of dots.
Parrot Tattoo
Another bird tattoo this time a colourful parrot. I have many images of birds and really enjoy tattooing them.
Dragon Tattoo
The tribal tattoo was already in place. The dragon was added above in the space available.
Old School Spider
The customer supplied the artwork for this Peter Parker inspired Spiderman Tattoo. I really enjoy working in a traditional Old School style.
Watercolour Skull Tattoo
Sketchbook style watercolour skull tattoo. This one is a bit of a mash up of the sketchbook style and a watercolour type effect. I really enjoy working in this style.
Sketchbook style Dragon Tattoo
A Dragon in the sketchbook style. If you like this style then get in touch and we can plan a new project.
Sketchbook Lighthouse Tattoo
This sketchbook Lighthouse is on the back of the calf just above the ankle. Thanks to my one off custom tattoo chair this was a comfortable and quick sitting. Fun tattoo as well, more sketchbook style please.
The First Tattoo in the Truck.
Bit of a cheat, I just relined it. It is a year old and healed. But in my defence this Scarab tattoo was done at the Wrexham tattoo convention in 2017 which was the first event for which I used the truck. So it still counts as the first... kind of.
Cover Up Tattoo
Covering six stars, some outline some solid. We went with a sketchbook style lotus. Lots of fun to do and it is to be continued with more flowers. This is a freehand tattoo
Drum Kit Tattoo
This Drum Kit tattoo was completed in under two hours
VR46 Turtle
The Valentino Rossi Turtle, if memory serves it was taken from one of his helmet designs
