The Groom.

The Groom

And then there was 'The Groom'. This is the second installment for Sarah, the first being 'The Bride'. Sarah wanted me to pretty much flip the original and alter it to become a male version of the female design. I had to change the face a couple of times before we were both happy with the outcome, but apart from that it went smooth... like something really... erm, smooth?

It's been great designing tattoos for Sarah and her husband Sam, I hope they come back to me in the future. 'Back To The Future' - amazing films... going off subject a bit there, OH!

Elemental Tattoos officially opened for business!

Well, the time has finally come! I have been practicing for many months now, I recently graduated from grapefruits to human flesh, and I have completed a couple of very well executed tattoos, that you can look at here. I am now confident that I can do a very professional job for anyone wanting a tattoo, HOWEVER, I am going to be starting with much simpler designs, lettering, symbols, and smaller pieces. If you are looking for a very large or complex tattoo, please feel free to contact me with design ideas, and I will do top notch design work for you and keep you posted as my skill level increases and I eventually am ready for the larger more complex tattoos. This should be relatively soon at the rate I am learning and improving my skill as a tattooist. My promise to ALL my clients is that the work will be expertly executed, and with the utmost attention to sterile and healthy working techniques. I will not tackle anything that I do not feel 100% ready to do PERFECTLY. So if your tattoo idea is extremely ambitious, please be patient and I will get to it when my skill level and confidence is exactly where it needs to be.

My most recent work was the 'Damaged Goods' tattoo you see below, for my dear friend Wilson. The work flowed smoothly, and the precision and details are clean and as close to perfect as possible. This was the tattoo that made me realize I am ready to start working professionally. In the next few weeks I will be adding a great deal of equipment to my inventory, new tips, inks, needles, shaders, and autoclave etc. So the work will be getting more sophisticated very quickly. Drop me a line at directly if you want me to get to work on a tattoo design for you.



My pricing will be extremely fair, both for designs and final tattoo execution. I will price each individual job to suit the client, so you can expect to pay far less than you might at a typical tattoo shop. So let the creative fun begin! I look forward to hearing from you and working with you to create a tattoo that will live on you and in you, and be a great source of pride and inspiration for a lifetime!

Love Is Patient.

Crest

This tattoo design is for Sam, Sam is Sarah's husband. I designed 'The Bride' for Sarah which you can see in the January section of my blog. The lettering is taken from a reading that was read at the couples wedding, and Sam wanted a colourful edge/border around it. For a while I was struggling with what this border could be (seriously, I didn't have a clue), but eventually I came up with the idea of a leaf crest border. I liked the idea of it looking regal and strong. I love the colours on this design - colour bleeding tips seem to be my thing.

Yea man, happy with that, next please!

Le Bonheur

This is Helen's tattoo (Helen, as in Ruth's sister), still healing, sore and swollen. It's my design and it was done by Lee LWB at Bodycraft in Nottingham. You can see the original design on my Facebook page, Lee has done an amazing job. He has inked the majority of my tattoos and I keep going back to him because he's proper sick. His lines are perfect. Helen is really happy with her tattoo and she mentioned possible future plans for more art on her skin... I think the addiction is seeping in.

Love seeing my designs replicated so well!
