Thanks so much @kaboooombombshell for the trust and for asking me to do this @timtimebomb inspired hand tattoo for you. Love Rancid and Transplants since I was a little year 9 high school wanna be punk so was an honour to do this one.

A few new pieces in Jonathan collection 🫶🏼

We met about 5-6 years ago when he visited me in the our old studio in London, and shared his ideas and then gave me freedom with his tattoos. It was amazing to collaborate with him since the first day, and it is just getting better by the years.

This time we added the inner bicep, few new small size additions, red color and start working on the hand. Here are few photos of some other old, sone of the new tattoos and us in Manchester 🤘🏼

Thank you @bigj_tmc with the good times, the trust and looking forward to see you soon again 🫶🏼

Covered up and transitioned an old script into this cool piece for Kenan. It was an amazing day and a really fun one to work on. Huge thanks for your trust with it. 🤘🏼

For this project, I used my 4mm @valknutrotary machine with @nexus_cartridges , practicing a soft fade technique using diluted @worldfamousink true black. I’m always experimenting with tones and shading, so if anyone has experience with pre-mixed tones, brands let me know please. 🤘🏼

A band of leaves wrapping around Loukia's arm. Thank you so much for trusting me with this piece. The leaves go around the back and was part stenciled and part free handed.
This design was custom drawn and an unique design for my customer. Stencil is not for sale. Please do not copy. 🌿

Got to do this epic dice roll tattoo for @im_tom_snow yesterday.

I'm in love with these dice from @tattoo.paint.roll and the fact clients have been rolling really interesting combinations for thier tattoos :)
As you can see, he rolled tiger, biomech and ghost, so why not a mechanical tiger powered by the ghosts of its victims haha!

If you'd like your own dice roll tattoo, swing by the studio and you can roll, I draw and you get tattooed with the freshest designs possible :D

When precision meets artistry, the result is something truly unforgettable. This geometric neck tattoo was all about bold structure and intricate detail. The symmetry, flowing lines, and delicate dot work were designed to follow the natural contours perfectly, creating a piece that feels both powerful and balanced.

At Claudia Ink, I love taking on unique challenges like this. Whether it’s geometric designs, realistic pieces, or vibrant colour work, my goal is always to create tattoos that are as meaningful as they are stunning.

✨ Let’s bring your vision to life! Call me at +44 7944 416130, or DM me to start planning your custom tattoo.
