Still buzzing from this weekend at the Golden Hand Tattoo Convention.
I’m ncredibly grateful to everyone who stopped by, watched me work, said hello, supported my work, or trusted me with their skin over the years as a tattoo artist.
It’s because of people like you that I get to keep doing what I love.
Special thank you to my client Shane for sitting through this massive Odin battle piece.
We walked away with Runner-Up for Large Colour Piece, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we achieved together.
These photos are a small glimpse of the amazing people who sat for me throughout the convention.
Every tattoo, every conversation, every bit of support means more than you know.
Thank you to everyone who made this weekend one to remember. Back to the studio with a full heart and a lot of motivation for the next one.

See you all soon.

Were you at the convention this weekend? Let me know your favourite piece from the event

Dark shadows, sharp contrast and flowing movement all tied into one piece. This black and grey realistic Oni mask tattoo wrapped with a snake was built to feel powerful from every angle — blending Japanese inspired imagery with detailed texture, smooth gradients and high contrast highlights.

The angry expression of the Oni paired with the movement of the serpent creates that timeless balance between chaos, protection and transformation. One of my favourite combinations to tattoo, especially when I can push realism and dynamic flow together in a large scale piece.

Based in Perth after years of travelling and tattooing through Europe, I specialise in black & grey realism, colour realism and custom designs that mix bold composition with fine detail.

Bookings open for large scale Japanese inspired work, realism and custom concepts.

Same same but different…
NEW PRINT AVAILABLE FOR THE TATTOO CONVENTION.
Dunno, feels like a can really identify with raccoons for some reason. Maybe it’s the dark circles under the eyes, a diet consisting of rubbish or being mostly a nocturnal creature.
Anyway, this new version I went a little nostalgic with it.
The whole thing got Easter eggs everywhere haha.
…

Some tattoos hit different.
This one was for my mate and work brother Gareth. A portrait of his girl Roxy, who sadly passed not long ago.

Stomach is definitely not a fun spot to sit through, especially when you’re already covered, but it was one of the last bits of space he had left and there was no better place for her.

A lot of emotion tied into this one.
Really honoured to be trusted with something that means this much.
Rest easy Roxy.

Been a while since I shared some flash with you.
Growing up I used to love the Simpsons like most “kids” my age( most of us aren’t kids anymore haha). Barney was such an underrated character, which there was more of him in the show.
Anyway this is my take on that character.
Please let me know if what you think and if I should do more characters.
Also, if you’re keen on a Simpson tattoo or any 90s pop culture tattoo, you know who to call.

Ganesha.
More to come.
