Elisha was such an easy going girl, she made her request and let me work with it. She was really open to ideas and I can not be grateful enough for our experience. She wants a full sleeve eventually, and I can not wait for us to be out of lockdown so we can carry on with it. Thank you Elisha

Black and grey Japanese Coy Carp
Happy New Year everyone. What a different end of the year we had. But I’m sure there are better days to come. I’m now back uploading on this site, so keep an eye open for updates. In this post I finished a black and grey coy carp half sleeve. We are in the process of a full Japanese sleeve. I have been focusing on realism a lot lately, but he had been following me on Facebook for a while, so a accepted to go back to my roots of tattooing when I used to do a lot of Japanese. Hope everyone is keeping safe, and I hope this will be our last lockdown. Take care

Realistic Buddha Tattoo by Louis
It’s good to be back at work. We are keeping it simple at the studio, not too many people, that’s the advantage of being private. In this post, I would like to remind perhaps one of my favourites from this year, a Buddha I did on one of my favourite clients Andy. We have a good open minded conversation about life, and having a good laugh also contributes to a positive outcome. I will be tattooing Andy next month, and I look forward to see which more awesome ideas he has, thank you Andy for being such a cool guy over the years. Thank you for reading
We are re-opening on December 4th
Hello folks, thanks for visiting this site. We are finally being able to re-open, our studio is a little private, so we don’t have too many people coming in and out everyday, which is better considering the pandemic. We try to take care of our clients, so we only have one, or two clients per day, each artist, so if you are looking for a private experience, we provide that. After all this pandemic situation, we are so glad we stayed private, as is so much easier to have social distance in a chilled environment. To do our art, we have to work in a good frame of mind, so our studio provides us that, as we are in Leeds city centre, however our studio is in the first floor, and the street is kind of of a back street, so not many people can see us. So that gives us a piece and quiet environment , and piece of mind. We can see another lockdown after this Christmas, some people are gonna go crazy after the lockdown, and then we are gonna be back to like it was before. We know this Christmas will not be like the others, it will be a bit weird, and I’m just gonna probably just work on my paintings this year, as I don’t think is worth the risk. I hope everyone is trying to keep sane, and I will see you guys around. Thanks for reading
Arabian Woman Digital Portrait
We are nearly out of lockdown, I know this Christmas will not be like a normal one, however it’s the way it’s. I don’t mind staying in painting and drawing anyway. I had the opportunity to finish this portrait I started a while back, and only had time to complete it now. She’s an Arabian lady, and she has just seen a battle with her own eyes, so she feels alert and concerned, however she still believes she can write a poem out of a battle. I hope everyone is keeping sane and safe. If you are on instagram, be sure to follow me @louissantostattoo

Dc comics Poison Ivy Digital Paint
As a big fan of comics, and in this lockdown, I had a bit more time to focus in my art. I’m a big fan of the game “Injustice 2” and one of my favourite characters to play with is Poison Ivy. She’s one of Batman’s villain, she had an appearance in one of Batman’s old movie with Jim Carry. However she didn’t have a big impact as the lack of technology was limited to create a true Poison Ivy. Nowadays with the technology, they are more than capable to bring back Poison Ivy in the big screens of a DC Comics movie, or even a Netflix series would easily please me. With all the CGI they are capable to produce nowadays, they have the opportunity to create Poison Ivy with alive plants coming out of her, it would be amazing. So she definitely deserves to be back on screen, and I will be waiting to see that come back as a huge Batman’s fan that I’m.

Native Indian Pencil Drawing @louissantostattoo
Hey everyone. I hope everyone is ok with this UK lockdown. As you guys can see I’m having a lot more time in my hand, so I thought this time to approach a full A3 detailed pencil drawing, Pencil drawing it allows me to be as neat as possible, quiet similar to a tattoo needle. I love painting too, however the brushes moves quiet a bit when you touch the canvas to paint, I guess everything has its highs and lows. In this drawing I tried to achieve a Native Indian Tattoo Master, he’s got the experience, and dedicates his whole life to art and tattooing. He’s holding a painting brush, and he’s got a tattoo machine engraved in to his hat. His face is tattooed and he has a sort of satisfaction look in to his face, which it represents listening to your own intuition, and not falling to what other people tell you to do. He sees loneliness as a blessing, as he has no stress and he has the opportunity to embrace his artistic urges. Our time on this earth is very limited, and the choices you make will carry on with you forever, so listening to your intuition and going towards what you want to do is imperative. One day we are going to be old, and time is past, and looking back with satisfaction knowing we have done what we wanted, is a life mission.

Realism Humming Bird Colour Tattoo
We are giving continuation to Ariane’s half sleeve. I free handed this little Humming Bird, as I feel so comfortable with her, she tells me what she wants, and let’s me express myself a bit. This procedure is always the best approach in my opinion. We are gonna be working on flowers around the humming bird next session, so I’m sure it will be all free hand too. She introduced to me a few images of what she likes, and she’s happy to let me take from that. Thank you Ariane for being so nice and easy going. Every session she has, her tattoo transforms, so she’s sure about sticking with the process, specially in the process of a half sleeve. Keep an eye for more updates on Ariane’s half sleeve.
