The design I drew a few weeks ago. It's available to buy on my Society6 store.

Dan adjusted the design to make it more effective. I like it. :)

Stencil applied~

Me getting mah ink on.

The silicone arm is by Pound of Flesh.

My first go at using a tattoo machine! ~1.5 hrs.

Naturally, I was a bit wobbly to start off with but got the hang of it after about 40-50 mins. Looking forward to doing more. :)

Second crack at using a tattoo machine, 22/12/2014.

I used a coil machine that time to see what it was like......it's defo not as comfortable as rotary, but it's good to know for myself. I've actually ordered a rotary machine so I can practice more because the guy I'm learning from is crazy busy atm and doesn't always have a spare machine, so this is literally as far as I've gotten so far. :(

Nothing serious - just doodling/relaxing.


Noticing loads of flaws in it now, hah. :P Ah well.

EDIT:
Touch-up.


I don't get why the previous one came out so warm - this is how it looked whilst painting.

Another speedpaint study based on a photo I Pinned a while ago. Based on a basic Google search, I think the photographer is Daria Zaytseva: http://www.dariazaytseva.com/

It isn't a particularly strict study but I like the mood of it.

Feeling out of touch with digital work, so I did a speedie. It's fairly off but good practice nonetheless.

Anyone who knows me well will know that I really enjoy making treats and nomming them, and better yet, sharing them with friends. My partner normally cooks the savoury meals while I make sweet treats, which will now be shared on my food blog:


I'm also on Instagram, where I'll mainly be posting food updates and WIP shots of current and future artwork.

Cheers!
