Hi guys 👋 🥰 I’ve never properly introduced myself so Hi to everyone old and new :) My names Marie and I specialise in Blackwork tattooing with a traditional spin. This is me in my private studio in the beautiful town of Leigh on sea, Essex :) I thought what better time to officially introduce myself than on my 9 year of tattooing anniversary 🥳 I have no idea where time has gone 💨 It’s truly been an great journey from my apprenticeship to the covid lockdowns where I had time to really concentrate on my style, then to the best three years at @lunabluetattoo working with the most amazing team and making friends for life❤️ In this period I have learned so much and constantly keep learning every day. I’ve had some amazing opportunities to Guest-spot in Canada and attend some of the biggest conventions in the UK and Ireland and can’t wait to keep going, progressing further and travelling with my job. I am so grateful to every single person who has ever been tattooed by me and supported me along the way, I couldn’t have got to where I am now without you ❤️ thank you to all my regulars who have bobbed about Leigh with me since the start and everyone who’s been nabbing my flash designs. I have always wanted my own little shop, a safe and calm space for everyone and I love it so much and it’s definitely still sinking in. I’m excited to see what the future holds 🥳 A massive thank you to the very talented @kostas_hantavas for these lovely photos and making me feel so comfortable. I couldn’t choose so here’s a couple from our photoshoot the other day :) probably the most awkward person to ever get infront of a camera so you absolutely smashed it, thank you :) Here’s to another year of decorating your bodies and meeting more amazing people✌️ ❤️ Photographer : @kostas_hantavas 📸 ⭐️ #tattooartist #femaletattooer #leighonsea #photographer #photography #portraitphotography #privatetattoostudio #blackworktattooer #blackworktattooing #essextattoo #essextattooist #uktattoo #uktattooartists #blxckink
