Bookings for the New Year!

Posted on by

Here is the brief lowdown!

I am currently splitting my time between Black Rabbit Tattoo Collective in Newbury, Arkham Tattoo in Kidlington (Oxford) and O’ Happy Dagger in Amersham. Due to the odd working hours, and the crazy but lovely response to my recent work I’m totally booked up until the new year

I will probably be moving house in january so I have closed my books temporarily to avoid having to disappoint/rearrange anyone

Sorry guys

I will be putting on my facebook page when I’m opening up my books again this will most likely be on the 20th November. Ongoing work and prepaid deposits will get first priority, but I will be taking on new work too.

If you want a new piece and don’t mind waiting until January/February for it please email back in a couple of months including

Subject matter- and how specific or open you are for me to go crazy on your design

Style ( just say my style if you like all my other stuff šŸ˜€ )

Size- in inches or cm OR “full sleeve” “full leg” and “full back”

Placement

Whether you want it in Colour or black and grey

Length of time you can feasibly sit

any reference material you have amassed-these could include things like olour schemes, poses of birds or happy little pet faces.

If it is a cover up, a photo of your existing tattoo next to a ruler or an easily recognised object such as a DELICIOUS BISCUIT (everyone knows how big a custard cream is)

Where you are based, which studio would be more convenient for you and whether you are willing to travel.

What days suit you best, weekends tend to get booked up super fast so if you can do weekdays you will probably get in faster.

If you include all this information it will be super easy to get you in as soon as possible šŸ™‚

My prices for new work will be- Ā£50 minimum charge, Ā£90 per hour or Ā£400 for a full day. To book a day I require a Ā£100 deposit, anything less will be a Ā£50 deposit. These are payable by paypal or bank transfer- you can get the details on request

 

If you are an existing customer, please include a photo of what you already have (so i can remember how far we’ve gotten!) and how long you want to sit for, as well as how much you currently have on deposit. Existing work does have priority and will be charged at old pricing rates!

In the meantime you can follow me on fb or instagram for any news!

Thankyou for your continued patience šŸ™‚

Convention Funtime in Manchester

Posted on by

Hey my lovely little sunfish, How are you all doing? Not that you can answer that on this site! Me and Jen have had a busy but tremendously satisfying weekend away from Oxford. To be more precise we went to Tattoo Tea party in Manchester! We had a great time, met lots of really lovely people and generally worked our arses off!DSC_0020

Here is little Madame Silver at the booth before the doors opened, no photo of me as I was having a mini meltdown about my portfolio! And her display was amazing, had much more attention than the tattooing!

DSC_0026

Her jewellery is available on the madame silver website.

The first tattoo I got to do was this cute pug on the lovely Lauren, who sat like a champ.

pugig

Had loads of fun on this tattoo <3. Then I did aĀ shoulder rose on lovely Lauren 2! Did not get a decent photo so I’ll post a pic of that next blog. Then me and Jen pissed about for a bit and ate some food before heading back to the hotel.

Sunday was a bit more chilled out, I did this dia de los muertos gal on Ianvariaig3

Oh my gosh do I love being a tattooist! It was such fun to tattoo, this one got a bit of attention! Only took 3 hours as well! More of these please?

Then I got tattooed by one of the best tattoo artists everrrr, one of my long time faves. Mr Brian Thomas Wilson of scapegoat tattoo in Oregontattooig1 DSC_0115 DSC_0114

all lovely photos of be getting tattooed completely unprepared, wearing horrid pants (and right before a 4 hour drive home)!! Worth it though. Meet my new cheeky goat!goaty

such a beautiful tattoo, I’m so happy <33

So that was our weekend! Now we are safely back in sunny Oxford <3 can’t wait to get back to work tomorrow. So inspired!

Tattoo Tea party

Posted on by

Hey there you lovely little crumble-pups, hope your February is going as well as it can be- what a horrid month! So me and Madame Silver will be leaving Oxford for the weekend as we attend Tattoo Tea Party in Manchester. It’s going to be so cool, hundreds of great artists all under one roof! If you’re there come up and say hi! I’ll have prints for sale and Jen will have jewellery and lotions on the stand.

Anyway, last week I got to start lots of new exciting pieces! But unfortunately I didn’t get to finish any!! Here are some of the many!

111

Started this lovely owl lady on Bryony and she sat like a champ!!sdgfsdfgsdfg

And I started this fox and stag piece on Teddy ( IĀ tattooed him 3 years ago- that swallow on his chest!) More to go, I’m really getting loads more confident with black and grey now, so pleased with this piece.

ig5555

And got to start this baby foxy stargazer on Abbie ( who is an absolute star and helped me with my taxes!) loads more to go but hopefully next time won’t be as pinchy! Sorry for hurting you bean!

sdfsdffdsig3

And got to start this Harry Potter themed chest piece! So much fun, more HP stuff please!! There should be droves of people in Oxford wanting to get Harry Potter tattoos, this is where Hogwarts is.

I drew this doe that I’d like to tattoo, along with a bunch of other things22222

ToĀ have a look at all the sketches I do that I want to tattoo you can go to this album on my facebook page. Keep an eye out and if I ever get a cancellation if you snap one of the designs up I may very well give you a good deal šŸ˜‰

 

That’s all for now chickadees!

Sleeves, laser tattoo removal and preparing the studio

Posted on by

Hey everyone, how have the dreary winter months been treating you? For me it’s usually the worst time of year but due to living in Oxford it hasn’t actually been too bad. We have re-organised the studio so now we have more space and it feels way more homely!

Here is a preview

wexdssds22222

But you could always pop down to Jericho Tattoo Emporium to see it yourself!

I got both laser tattoo removal from the lovely Madame SilverĀ ( getting a sleeve removed) she is so good at what she does I barely even feel it (after the first 30 seconds of surprise) If you have a tattoo you don’t like laser really is so amazing.

I also got tattooed by Aruba Blue

tattooistoxfordtattooartistoxford

tattoostudiooxford

I looove my new tattoo! She is so good at linework.

After 3 years I finally finished Mark’s second sleeve! Here are some bad photos I managed to grab before my camera ran out of battery.

Here is a little freehand tattoo I did on my pal Vikx of a rubber duckie!after

Thanks for looking guys <3

Happy new year

Posted on by

Hey everyone, hope you had a goodun! Happy 2015 etc etc.

Before christmas I did a fair few tattoos that I was really happy with, the first one was this kingfisher watercolour style

king2

Loooved doing this on Kerry, she’s coming back to Oxford soon for a stag on the other thigh šŸ™‚

Since the last blog post I finished the Radagast tattoo, this was one that was completely out of my comfort zone but I enjoyed doing it so much and it turned out even better than I thought it would. Wizard tattoos win

radagast

And here is a black swan tattoo which I absolutely love the result of too. There are plenty of swans around Oxford for me to use as reference. This rose with water droplets was absolute heaven to tattoo!

swan

I started this Beauty and the beast tattoo just after christmas, Disney tattoos are starting to get really big and I just love putting my own spin on the disney artwork. As a tattoo artist it’s a huge priority for me to never do the same tattoo twice.

belle

Managed to finish Chris’ Mexican day of the dead themed leg sleeve. When doing tattoos based on artwork from another culture I try and put enough of my style inĀ it so as not to appropriate anything too much. My main concern is to do a tattoo that looks amazing without being offensive. Cultural appropriation is a big issue in tattooing, and I feel it’s our duty as responsible tattooists to read up on it and reach a good compromise between what people want, sensitivity to cultural issues and also our artistic integrity.

If you would like to read more about cultural appropriation here is a link to a good list

chrisleg

I got to tattooĀ Miss Argentina from Beetlejuice too! WOO!

argentine

Anyway, I’m doing a couple of conventions this year but mainly will be working solidly at our little tattoo studio in Oxford

If you would like to make an appointment, as always check out the FAQSĀ and send me an email!

Until next time!

Convention Schedule

Posted on by

Well, seeing as things are pretty busy at the moment I’ve only signed up to do two conventions next year. The Tattoo Tea Party in Manchester on the last weekend in Feb.

TTP2015

 

I’m already booked on the Saturday/Sunday but still have a full day on the Friday, love to do a full day but I’m open to a few littler pieces too šŸ™‚

The next one is the Cardiff Tattoo and Toy convention in July

tattoo_logo1-300x151

Which I signed up for at the end of the con this year as I had such a good time. No bookings for this yet apart from Lori, but I’d like to do a couple of film-themed pieces. Will be doing some movie flash if I can’t get booked up though so walk-ups may very well be welcome!

Now if anyone from far and wide would like me to come to a convention near them nearer the end of the year I might be open to sign up with HelenĀ so do feel free to send me a message and I’ll see what I can do!

And remember- if you have any questions regarding booking please read the FAQs and email me

Thanks everyone šŸ˜€

Hey everyone, it feels like it’s been a long while since I last made a blog post.
Jericho Tattoo Emporium is up and running and is a little slice of heaven.
I love being back in Oxford, and looking forward to moving this weekend so I only have a 20 minute walk to work every morning.
Sooooo the last few weeks have been a bit of a haze of setting up, commuting, going to Raoul’s a lot and generally having fun with Madame Silver, in fact this Saturday she did a little bit of laser tattoo removal patch testing on my various bits and bobs I am not 100% in love with anymore.
Her laser machine actually doesn’t hurt anywhere near as much as my previous experience at other studios…. If you’ve fallen out of love with your tattoo send her an email via her website to have a free consultation/quote www.madamsilver.co.uk

Here is a picture of her touching up a tree, and a juicy margarita from Raoul’s Bar (next door to us)

Another bit of exciting fun is that Jess is coming to guest with us, I tried so hard to make one of those cool montages for IG but could only manage this- its got a few gorgeous examples of her work but you really need to check out her website/FB/IG for more!
jessi

and then here are some of the tattoos I’ve been working on
a tattoo of Aku Aku from crash bandicoot, I love tiki stuff and Crash so this was so much fun! love the colour scheme with this, really need to do more tiki inspired drawings
akuaku

here are Rosie’s feet, latin wolf and fawn. Amazing idea, very lovely and clever lady. I had a blast tattooing her…I don’t think she felt the same way by the end!! no one loves getting their feet done. But she sat like a rock
deerwolf

Ooooh this was a fun one I did just the other day on another lovely lady, hopefully be getting a healed photo of this to show how some of the greys lighten up
rosesberries

Started and finished this on a lovely fellow who travelled all the way from Lincoln, of his pal Sprout who recently passed <3 poor Sprout, but he will live on forever in the form of this tattoo sprout

And I’ve been tattooing Claire for a while and finally finished this bad boy, now here is the thing- I took a bunch of Photos and not one of them was usable apart from this one which is only half the bloody tattoo! Oh well, I’m sure she will be back (totally addicted haha) so I’ll be able to get a healed one!
hummingbiurds

So anyways, I am really looking forward to summer in Oxford- especially as it means I get to treat all my customers and friends to some lovely times in Oxfordshire in the next few months and have some brill adventures.
Hurray!
