I’ve always had a thing for girls with tattoos

After not having a lot of inspiration recently I was ready to make something but had no ideas.  After the sleeve cover design i had done for the Secret 7” project I wanted to try more of the simplistic style of illustrating and have an excuse to spend a day looking at traditional style tattoos again!  I found a photograph of a girl in a bikini which I liked and then went from there adding to it.  I started to carve whilst catching up on some Kardashian goodness and then by the end of the day had the beginnings of an edition of prints which I’m a little bit in love with.

I am definitely  going to be trying out a lot more line style prints as I loved how it came out and you can get in more detail than if you were trying to carve the black lines out.

The prints are available to buy along with other bits and bobs here!
