July’s been a mad one — long days, late nights, and some proper proud moments I just want to shout about. 😃
If you’ve missed anything I’ve posted on here or Instagram, here’s a little round-up of what’s gone on this month:
🎨 Artwork Done
Managed to get some solid bits of art finished this month — everything from custom portraits to print designs, and some bits that have been sitting unfinished for way too long finally got wrapped up. I’ve had a load of interest in the new stuff too, which means a lot. Every like, comment, or message doesn’t go unnoticed — it keeps me going, especially on the rough days when I’m grafting and second-guessing everything.
👊 Ricky Hatton — Big Moment for Me
One of the biggest highlights for me this month — I got to hand over a piece of my work in person to the legend himself, Ricky Hatton. That’s one I’ll never forget.
We had a proper good chat, got some photos, and he even signed a bunch of limited edition prints while I was there. Those signed prints are now available on my site if you want to grab one — not many left.
To have someone like him not only appreciate my work but also support it by signing and backing the prints — it’s surreal. Moments like that remind me why I do this.
🔥 Tattoos, Tattoos, Tattoos 🔥
Been flat-out tattooing this month too. A few full sessions and some long sit-downs, including:
- A full stomach piece hanya mask that’s about 80% done — can’t wait to get that one finished, it’s already looking mad!!
- Some solid black & grey bits, a couple traditional ones also! and a few pieces where I was just given full creative freedom (which is always class).
Massive shoutout to all the clients who’ve come through — whether it’s your first tattoo or your tenth, I appreciate every single one of you trusting me with your skin.
☀️ Studio Life in the Heat
Let’s not forget… it’s been ROASTING. That one day I framed up seven t-shirts in about 30-degree heat nearly killed me 😂 but it got done, and the finished result looked amazing!.
August is also going to be a a busy month ahead which I’m really looking forward too! New tattoo projects and new artwork dropping and icons of football being met! Yes! Some new handovers will be soon dropping! Keep your eyes peeled for these!
