Oil paintings on watercolour paper

What painting teaches me about tattoo work

Painting gives me time to look closely at a face, each shape and the change from light to shadow. I use the same care when I draw a custom tattoo, especially for portraits and scenes. I trained as a jeweller before I became a tattoo artist, so I'm used to small, exact work.

If you'd like to ask about a piece or how I made it, send me its title and your question.
