Been working on lots of fantasy bio mech/organic formations and obviously skulls,skulls and skulls. Tribal inspired structures, repetitive shapes. All a bottom end imitation of Giger. I’ll never be that bloody good.

I’d really like to get my head around this style in black and grey but for now I’m having lots of fun with colour and creating textures. Cheese strings and skin rips all day baby.

If you think this stuff is rad and you want a piece like it, get in touch. I’m offering really good rates on all the fun stuff I like to tattoo.

I’m down @theoldvolt Tuesday to Saturday every week. Come talk tatts and any other shit with me 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Classic Jesus head made for my old friend Jake. Went a bit passion of the Christ on this one and made him oh so bloody. Give me more Jesus heads. More thorns. More men in peril.
Any way I’m free all day due to a cancellation and have many many flash for you to look at. Come on down to @theoldvolt If you can fill my time today I’ll give you a very very good deal.

Hundreds of predawn designs ready to eat your soul and and devour your flesh. Available in black and grey or colour. Extremely good deals on absolutely everything, cos I’m sick of not tattooing and having to think about the downward spiral of humanity. Come and keep me busy 😁😁😁😁
I’m down @theoldvolt 6 days a week. Tuesday to Sunday. 11am until late usually.
Drop me a message or just walk in and get tattooed.
