Trying a white background for something new, 2 lovely girls came in to get tattoos! - Pic of the moon is freshly done compared to healing (brightness was turned up in the pics so you can see the details, the ink was bleeding in the fresh pic 😭), some plant life behind the ear and some birth dates in hand written style, Thankyou for trusting me! - I have a few backed up photos of tattoos as I’ve been lazy af with posting them, stay tuned! https://www.instagram.com/p/CFLsCjsBFU3/?igshid=1egbd7mabb4d1

Almost all styles interest me 👀 🕷 https://www.instagram.com/p/CEQjHZ2BrbM/?igshid=fw50o793kfnp

Cover up piece I did on myself today of a 2 headed crow wearing plague doctor masks, swipe for before pic! Gonna do some dark botanicals later to cover up the other half of the shitty moth. I had such a blast doing this, it really reminded me just how freaking much I enjoy tattooing, it’s my heart and soul and I just wanna tattoo forever tbh, I’m so lucky to be doing what I adore 🖤 (at Wellington, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCDBQrJBpEM/?igshid=tqw2h8utau7r

The final result of my hair!! I love it 😍 - Also I made a fundraiser for my tattooing business, link is in my bio for all you instagram people, any donations of any amount would be greatly appreciated 🖤🖤 https://www.instagram.com/p/CA1R_22BgTd/?igshid=twl8oxot50bj

Changed up my look a bit lads, blonde dreads are to go UV green as soon as the dye arrives!! Cut all the front of my hair off so I have a mullet now, I needed a big change, I needed something to detach myself from the person I was and those experiences. - I feel so much more like myself, the black lines on the side of my face are tattooed on by myself 👻 as well as tattooing a line on the end of my nose, tattooing the 4 red dots, and freshening up my chin line (extended it up onto my lip too. It HURT man) my red arrows on my nose, and my little pointy forehead crown and added some dot work to it. I feel so much more NB looking not looking ‘pretty’, I look like an alien 👽 I am an alien! - Im still working on setting up from home so am not taking bookings but thank you for all your enquires! Please stick with me while I get the funds to do this! I would start a fundraiser but my fear of rejection runs rampant hahahaha. Love you all and can’t wait to be stabbing art on ya’s again! - (The eyebrow crosses and upper black nose line are not tattoos) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAwaoYrhfDV/?igshid=1xzf200u1eb1k

My first proper attempt at a portrait! Not perfect but I tried my best. Made with procreate, off of a reference photo. I’m trying to get better at digital drawing lol https://www.instagram.com/p/B_HjloGBP2w/?igshid=1d70zn65lwil7

Some actual tattooing! I couldn’t find a photo of daisy the death cow by herself before her makeover and forgot to take a before photo 🙃 but if you look up close at the first pic you can see how truly and miserably shit it looked. I also added a lot of black to the snake and flowers, because I want the leg quite dark. Also added some smoke in behind the cobwebs that will lighten a bit. - - The second tattoo is a hand written line from a song called ‘passionflower’ by John Gomm (it’s very beautiful, if you love yourself check it out). I have many weaknesses. My body. My mental health. But these weaknesses make me stronger, stronger than I ever would have been without them. Every tear shed is an inch of growth, every scream made is a step forward. Weakness is not my weakness. It isn’t yours either 🖤 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-1g3yCBjmb/?igshid=16dxniu1veze2

2 posts in one day but I wanted to share this! - - Here’s one of the shots from our second engagement shoot (yes we had 2 because I have cool friends hehe) and I really loved this one which is why I’m posting it. - - For the first shoot I took all the splints off my fingers, left my knee brace off and threw my crutches to the side out of frame. Not because of shame, my splints detracted from my engagement ring, and splints and mobility aids in general aren’t so aesthetic so I kept them out of the first ones and I love those pictures. - For this set I wanted to show reality, what it’s really like and how our love doesn’t change at all between my illnesses being visible or invisible. So I love this shot of us, it shows life for what it is and shows that reality is still beautiful and disability doesn’t diminish my worth or make me less attractive or wantable. 🖤 - All credits go to @bend0942 Aeroshan Photography (sorry Instagram cut the watermark off 😅) 📸 (at Percys Scenic Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ZTZaNBy56/?igshid=p8bc2kx59c4c

Loving my ugly tie and vest combo. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from being chronically ill and periodically housebound due to shitty health, is that it’s good to dress up in actual clothes that aren’t pyjamas sometimes. It makes you feel a bit more human even if you aren’t going anywhere. - Hope everyone’s not going too insane, I’ve been playing a lot of guild wars and jamming a lot of Netflix that’s for sure. Stay safe and remember to wear a mask and glove up if possible when you’re going out in public, it not only protects you but also others. We will get through this 💪🖤 (at Wellington, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-YkmL3hLTp/?igshid=1tnfwtqvkhe3h

Yes my hairs red again lol I have zero restraint and I’m a whore for red hair. Oops 🤷🏻‍♀️ - I’m not gonna be posting much work at the moment as I’m trying to stay at home as much as possible. I have moderate to severe asthma so I don’t wanna be fucking with this virus shit. Remember social distancing, even if you’re a healthy person so you don’t help spread it to people like me and many other compromised individuals. It’s not about what you think you can handle, it’s about all of us. - I’ll be posting bits here and there of life to keep my account alive and active but until this eventually blows over there won’t be much to do with tattoos sorry! I also won’t be taking bookings. - Hope all of you are keeping safe out there and I wish health and good vibes to all of you. Thankyou for your patience 🖤 (at Wellington, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-D6nF8hwfu/?igshid=12zu5vdr4pyvt

I’ve had a couple of tattooed reschedule with we due to corona virus so have an update of the fundraiser! All the dreads are gone! Swipe for a close up pic :) it’s way less weird than we thought it was going to be actually lol. - His head does feel lighter, he’s feeeling that cold in the mornings now and is enjoying laying and sitting without a million miles of hair getting in the way. We don’t know how much they weigh yet, we tried weighing them with him stepping on the scales before and after the shave in the same outfit but according to the scales he was the same weight so we’ll have to use a more sensitive one. The kitchen scales won’t work coz there’s too much hair to be able to see the number lol! - We ended up raising just under $2000 all up and I’m proud of him for taking this leap 🖤🖤🖤🖤 - ID in comments 🖤 (at Wellington, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B92gCyhBSzJ/?igshid=1fzcdon1a9ntm

A piece from several days ago on a friend, partially completed, bit juicy. First tattoo! Sat like suck a champion, can’t wait to finish the rest! This was a design painted for him by a friends around 10 years ago, and it finally came time to tattoo it, so glad I’ve been trusted with it 😁 (at No glory tattoo shop) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ntaflhKbk/?igshid=glugf7t4mimj
