Hope everyone who celebrates had a good Bloomsday today. Here’s a recent one of James Joyce done for my partner. #bloomsday #jamesjoyce #blackworktattoo

History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed; art has remembered the people, because they created. -William Morris

Managed to get Stage/Fright tickets for Halloween! I’m so stoked to see what they do for it.

Just watched adolescence….i don’t know if I’ll emotionally recover. If you need me I’ll be in the pit of despair.

Finally saw Stage/Fright. It was phenomenal im still reeling from it!

Haven’t posted In a while, as a form of apology. Have a tattoo of a goose with a knife, in a cowboy hat. #chaoticgoose #etchingtattoo

You have no idea how much I loved doing this chicken Tattoo. I want to do so many more folk style animals. 😩 #tattoo #folklore

Valentine’s Day means we watch one of the horniest films known to man. #womeninlove

*sad noises*

Utopia will forever be one of my favourites. Honestly it was so before its time and one of the best and most creative shows on television.

Happy #caturday to my void that’s always so difficult to photograph. My wee cryptid.

Walking through Hull centre to get to work getting stopped by every police officer since it’s John Prescott’s funeral. Do I look like a terrorist threat? No I’m barely awake listening to Portishead with my BFI bag, leave me be.

Found this vintage tea set under my stairs, watch me only ever drink from these from now on. Also why did we stop using saucers with cups? I vote bring back the saucer.

Without downloading new pics, where are you mentally?

You've just been thrown to your death by the Beatles.

Just watched the platform and my god, what a disappointment it was. I’m usually pretty lenient with films and I’ll love anything but I just couldn’t stand the two dimensionality of it 😖

I can’t believe this iconic man has passed. It’s such a loss.

Folk horror films:

Nosferawho?

Went to the William Morris exhibition in York yesterday. Seeing some of the most iconic patterns like ‘Willow Boughs’ or ‘Strawberry Thief’ as original wallpaper prints from the period was fascinating. They even had a set of the original wooden print blocks, it was wonderful!

Happy new year to all you lovely people, roll on 2025!

Happy Winter Solstice! (Art by Wendy Andrew from her book “Luna Moon Hare”)

I dont want AAA games anymore, i want games made by a little freak with a vision

Definitely a recommended read and always a place on the podcast @sachacoward.bsky.social if you want to chat about the book and the research

'A horse and cart travels along an Irish provincial street at dawn. 1950’s by George Pickow'

So my family tradition is to watch White Christmas while we put up the tree. I’m so excited to see this 4K remaster, if any Christmas film deserves love and care it’s this one! (Also couldn’t help buying Holiday Inn too)

Didn’t expect to spot Ben Wheatley in the wild today. (Also why have I never heard of #ideal before, it’s brilliant!)

Latest instance of haunting at work. Walking down the stairs and sounded like someone was behind me (No one was there), love working in an old building 🤩👻

Louder for people in the back!

Shopping for my four year old niece this time of year, why do children’s toys have to be such a plastic ridden hellscape? 😖

If you see this, post a vampire. 🧛‍♂️ A little fun spin on everyone’s favourite Nosferatu.

There is something very soul cleansing about someone asking for a reference for your old abusive mentor to work in their shop. I think the phrase I’m looking for is….Karma is a bitch.

One for sorrow, two for joy. This William Morris inspired back piece looks smashing on my client and she sat through it beautifully too. Hoping to add too it later down the line with more British wildlife. #tattoo

Go get yourself some cute festive art this winter! Hurry before I buy out the whole stock 😉

One of my absolute favourite tattoos I’ve done this year so far. The pear of anguish. I have a witch finding tool flash sheet that I promise I will get round to posting here for you lovely folks. Also props to my client Beth who always chats folklore and history when she’s in the chair.

Well, to kick off the start of my profile, here is one of my recent designs. A hand of glory, up for grabs for anyone wanting to get inked by me.
