Your favourite tattoo you’ve ever done

Weirdest tattoo request- did you do it?

The strangest request for a tattoo was a ‘shit’ in a bottle, which was for a tattoo artist @Deaddark but I pussied out lol

How long have you been a tattoo artist and how did you get into tattooing?

I have been tattooing professionally for around 2 years, and got into tattooing because I have always drawn, and created art since I can remember; and wanted to offer my unique style and ideas, which I didn’t see much of at the time… (and still, don’t in this area at least!)

Plus artists didn’t seem bothered in making art- more about making money, which is sadly the case still, which paves the way for passionate artists.
