A cover up, a protest against Australia Day date, and a great idea. Thank you Harley and Sonny 🐈‍⬛ We leaned into the idea of the old sewing needle poked tattoo being cat scratches on the hand instead of a hard cover up. ♋️ astrology constellation in the cuff because this is very on brand us ✨ #bitethehandthatfeedsyou #catbite #cattattoo #handtattoo #tradtattoo #coveruptattoo #melbournetattooist

I was gonna wait until this was fully healed to post, but I’m too excited and tbh all of the lines, snake colouring is all HEALED anyway. This was a very special project for me to create for Gab, as this was a way to bring continuity to existing works tattooed by my bestie @deankalcoff He’d be cracking jokes about me stealing clients off him, but then making sure I knew it was a joke by saying he really liked the colours, followed by “borrowing” said colours. Ty Gab. Means the world to me to create alongside him again. And snakes 🐍 love love love them. Spent the longest time thinking I wasn’t good at designing them. But here we are, pushing at self imposed limits. Perfect timing with Year of the Snake too. #snaketattoo #pitvipersnake #snake #yearofthesnake #kneetattoo #legtattoo

“I’ve drawn two sugar glider heads, and I’m going to sharpie on the rest to fit in between your tattoos…” [pic:2] The trust my clients offer me is so appreciated. Ty Nik for another inspired piece and welcoming me back to Melbourne with an Aussie favourite. ✳︎ ✳︎ ✳︎ ✳︎✳︎ ✳︎✳︎✳︎ #trustyourartist #sugarglider #sugargliderlover #kangaroopaw #australianartist #melbournetattooist

45 min into our shading session we had the only thing that would slow a tattooist down: a POWER OUTAGE. Our Achilles heel!!! ❤️‍🩹 As a tattooist who loves her coils, this was a strong Plutonian push to dive into using a pen machine. Tsugu lent me his @vladbladirons and Sonja and I carried out the tattoo. Couple of troubleshooting moments with handgrip and muscle memory tapping my foot switch, but overall was a great experience. And for travel ease, game changer. **All the lines and grey clouds in this piece are one week healed, as Sonja was travelling back to back weeks from Tassie to see @hozier and @glassanimals ✳︎ ✳︎ ✳︎ ✳︎✳︎ ✳︎✳︎✳︎ #tasmanianmaskedowl #maskedowl #owltattoo #birdtattoo #thightattoo #neojapanesetattoo #melbournetattooist
