Hey everyone, hope you had a goodun! Happy 2015 etc etc.<\/p>\n

Before christmas I did a fair few tattoos that I was really happy with, the first one was this kingfisher watercolour style<\/p>\n

\"king2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Loooved doing this on Kerry, she’s coming back to Oxford soon for a stag on the other thigh \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Since the last blog post I finished the Radagast tattoo, this was one that was completely out of my comfort zone but I enjoyed doing it so much and it turned out even better than I thought it would. Wizard tattoos win<\/p>\n

\"radagast\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here is a black swan tattoo which I absolutely love the result of too. There are plenty of swans around Oxford for me to use as reference. This rose with water droplets was absolute heaven to tattoo!<\/p>\n

\"swan\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I started this Beauty and the beast tattoo just after christmas, Disney tattoos are starting to get really big and I just love putting my own spin on the disney artwork. As a tattoo artist it’s a huge priority for me to never do the same tattoo twice.<\/p>\n

\"belle\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Managed to finish Chris’ Mexican day of the dead themed leg sleeve. When doing tattoos based on artwork from another culture I try and put enough of my style in\u00a0it so as not to appropriate anything too much. My main concern is to do a tattoo that looks amazing without being offensive. Cultural appropriation is a big issue in tattooing, and I feel it’s our duty as responsible tattooists to read up on it and reach a good compromise between what people want, sensitivity to cultural issues and also our artistic integrity.<\/p>\n

If you would like to read more about cultural appropriation here is a link to a good list<\/a><\/p>\n

I got to tattoo\u00a0Miss Argentina from Beetlejuice too! WOO!<\/p>\n

\"argentine\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway, I’m doing a couple of conventions this year but mainly will be working solidly at our little tattoo studio in Oxford<\/a><\/p>\n

If you would like to make an appointment, as always check out the FAQS<\/a>\u00a0and send me an email!<\/a><\/p>\n

Until next time!<\/p>\n
