I got to wrap up 2024 tattooing this little cardinal for my Mum ❤️ I’m super stoked I got to finish off the year with this one and have some down time but I’m pretty excited to get back into tattooing for 2025 and work on some pretty exciting projects! I hope everyone had a safe new years and gets to achieve all their goals for the year ahead. I’ll be getting back to and doing emails for the remainder of the week so if you’re waiting for a response please keep an eye on your inbox.
