A video of this sleeve recently completed. Thanks Jack. #sleeve #sleevetattoo #tattoosleeve #greek #greekmythology #blackandgreytattoo

Thanks Will. This is part of a traditional style sleeve. I have always really enjoyed putting these together and think the use of skin is very important in a tattoo and even more so in a sleeve. To allow the design to be as readable as possible. Always available for stuff like this. Currently booking August 15th onwards. #sleeve #sleevetattoo #sleevetattoos #tattooinspiration #tattooink #newtattoo

This was great fun. I love tattooing female faces, especially in a more illustrative way, for me I think the style really works with a tattoo and will hold better than soft realism. Each to their own.

“The Great Wave off Kanagawa” is one of the most iconic and recognizable works of Japanese art created by the artist Katsushika Hokusai in the early 19th century. The print is part of Hokusai’s series “Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji,” and it depicts a towering rogue wave in the foreground, with Mount Fuji visible in the background. Made using a 3rl. #japanese The print is celebrated for its dynamic composition and masterful use of color and line. The wave itself is the focal point of the piece, capturing the awesome power and energy of the ocean. #japaneseart #japan #art #artist #woodblockprint #woodblock #painting #hokusai #wave #ocean #water #waves #finelinetattoo #fineline

Foo dog outline for @mr_mooseyy_ thanks as always. he foo dog, also known as the “guardian lion” or “lion of Buddha,” is a traditional symbol in East Asian cultures, representing protection, strength, and prosperity. Foo dog tattoos often depict a stylized lion-like creature with a majestic mane and fierce expression, commonly inked on the arms, chest, or back. These tattoos are popular for their aesthetic appeal and symbolic significance, serving as a talisman for warding off evil spirits and bringing good fortune to the wearer. #foodog #foodogtattoo #japanesetattoo #buddhism #blackandgreytattoo #outline #sleevetattoo #sleevetattoos #tattoodesign #blacktattoo

First session on a this ornamental leg piece for Jasmine. Thanks for choosing this I enjoyed using the shapes to create a composition that flows with the body. Ornamental tattoos are a beautiful and intricate form of body art. They often feature intricate patterns, geometric shapes, and decorative elements that can be customized to suit your style. Whether it’s a delicate mandala on your wrist, a filigree design on your collarbone, or an ornate sleeve that wraps around your arm, ornamental tattoos can be both aesthetically pleasing and meaningful. The intricate details and elegant lines of these tattoos can turn your body into a canvas for a work of art. #ornamental #ornamentaltattoo #finelinetattoo #inked #inkedgirls #blackink

Japanese Hanya mask tattoo made in a fine line black and grey style. I will be matching this on the other side with a slightly different design. Always happy to do anything like this, thanks @johnostridge The Japanese Hannya tattoo is a striking and symbolic design that often adorns the bodies of those who appreciate the depth of Japanese folklore and art. The Hannya mask represents a jealous and vengeful female demon, a character from Noh theater. Its intricate details, including contorted features and sharp fangs, convey the complexities of human emotions and the potential for transformation. These tattoos are more than mere body art; they are powerful symbols of inner conflict, change, and the balance between good and evil in the human soul. #japanese #tattoo #japanesetattoo #hanya #hanyamask #hanyatattoo #finelinetattoo

Really enjoyed this shoulder peony. Matching the other shoulder next month. #peony #peonyflower #japanese #japanesetattoo #blacktattoo #ink #inkedgirls

This was a concept drawing turned into a sleeve using skin/light tones for the peony flower with minimal detail and a dark almost black background. The effect is striking and I’m very pleased with the result, mostly done with a 3rl. Video made by @therealstanleylane A Japanese peony flower tattoo is a symbol of beauty, prosperity, and good fortune. Typically, it features a vibrant, detailed peony blossom with rich colors and delicate petals. The peony can be incorporated into various Japanese tattoo styles, such as irezumi, and often represents a balance between strength and grace. #flower #flowertattoo #blackandgreytattoo #sleevetattoo #sleeve #japanese

A Japanese back piece tattoo featuring Fudo Myo would typically depict the fierce and immovable deity Fudo Myo, often portrayed as a wrathful figure with a sword and a rope. This symbolizes the ability to cut through obstacles and bind negative forces. The tattoo might include intricate details, flames, and Sanskrit characters. It’s a powerful choice for those seeking strength and protection through their ink. Made by @therealstanleylane #japanese #backpiecetattoo #large #traditionaltattoo #blackandgreytattoo

Really enjoyed free styling this cherry blossom branch onto @hevsparkle15 thanks very much ! A cherry blossom tattoo is a delicate and meaningful choice for many. These graceful pink or white flowers symbolize beauty, transience, and the fleeting nature of life in Japanese culture. A cherry blossom tattoo can represent a reminder to embrace the present moment and appreciate life's fleeting beauty, making it a popular design for those who value mindfulness and aesthetics in their ink. #japanese #japanesetattoo #traditional #traditionaltattoo #bold #boldwillhold

Had a lot of fun with this astronaut tattoo. All done with a 3rl. I will be adding some background in the future, stay tuned for the next session. Space exploration has long captured humanity's imagination, propelling us beyond the confines of our home planet and into the vast, mysterious cosmos. From the first tentative steps of Yuri Gagarin and the Apollo moon landings to the cutting-edge missions of today, our journey into space has been a testament to human curiosity, innovation, and collaboration. #space #astronaut #blackandgreytattoo #fineline

Very close to completing this sleeve. I should wait to post the final piece but was just excited to share this, Aimie chose this design from something I had pre drawn and I am really happy with the result. The idea was to use skin and light shades/minimal detail to create powerful looking but feminine flowers with a dark background for contrast. I have some more in this style if interested please DM. #sleeve #sleevetattoo #blackandgreytattoo #flowers #flowertattoo

Thanks Heather for getting this ornamental tattoo piece. "Ornamental tattoos are a mesmerizing fusion of art and body, where intricate patterns and delicate details come to life on the canvas of skin. These tattoos often draw inspiration from various cultural motifs, geometric shapes, and flowing linework, creating a symphony of aesthetics that celebrates the beauty of adornment and self-expression." #tattoos #ornaments #lines #black

Thanks Chris, really enjoyed tattooing this Mayan Princess in a realism style black and grey. The Mayan princess was a revered figure in ancient Mayan society, often associated with power, ritual, and leadership. These princesses played significant roles in the civilization's religious ceremonies, governance, and cultural traditions. Their elaborate attire, adorned with intricate jewelry and headdresses, symbolized their elevated status, and they were key figures in maintaining the spiritual and social fabric of the Mayan world. #blackandgrey #realism #finelinetattoo

Thanks John for getting this piece. I found the inspiration for this whilst trekking in Nepal. It represents the ocean and movement of the waves inside a heavy lined diamond shape. I used a fine line to tattoo the waves creating a delicate balance with the outer shape. I have some more in this style so if interested please get in touch. #waves #ocean #nepal #trek #movement #water #fineline #finelinetattoo #design

Outline and black shading down on this Japanese Samurai mask tattoo. Thanks Jordan see you soon for some colour. Samurai were skilled and honorable warriors in feudal Japan.
