This Tattoo was a part of Andy’s full Japanese sleeve, it’s a great pleasure working with Andy, he gives me an idea and gives me the freedom artistically, and the opportunity to work with a good frame of mind is priceless. I believe the best way to get tattooed, is to choose the artist who you love their work, give an idea, and let them work with your idea. Sometimes , the tattoo mite not come out exactly how you were thinking, but it will come out better, than how you were thinking. As you let the tattoo artist work with a good frame of mind. Some clients are so specific, so fussy, which they have the right to, however, what they don’t realise is, the tattoo artist is so worried about their request, so they are not really gonna Work with a relaxed frame of mind, the more pressure you put on the tattoo artist, the more it affects the outcome of your tattoo. I say that because the best pieces I have done, has been on my easy going clients. Every tattoo I got, I trusted the artist to express their art on me, and I saved up for it, regardless the price, I flew to another country, I accepted how they work, and made it as easy as possible for them to tattoo me, because I wanted their art work on my body for the rest of my life, and I trusted them. And once you choose them to tattoo you, you should stick with them until the tattoo is finished, specially if you encounter issues with the tattoo, which it can happen, with healing specially, and when your tattoo is not finished, is not gonna look great, so you have to stick until the end result. You chose an artist, you stick with them, at least to complete that tattoo. In my opinion that’s the best way to approach getting tattooed.

Hamsa Hand with realistic eye
That was the very last touch of Robs full sleeve, what a journey we had on his sleeve. We first started with a Buddha, with a cover-up on a top half sleeve, then we had a free open skin on bottom half With a lily flower, with loads of waves and water around. Rob is a big fan of going to Ibiza, so he loves the colour of the sea over there, so there was a lot of blue in his sleeve. Rob was another customer who fell from the sky, I couldn’t asked for a nicer guy to work with, we are blessed in the studio with the best clients, people who are willing to spend time on their tattoo, in order to have a piece of art. Thank you for our clients who made our dreams come true over the years. Follow us on instagram@familiatattooleeds

It was a pleasure tattooing Adam, what a true gentleman. I was very exited about doing his Phoenix in colour, i usually get requested a lot of black and grey tattoos, which i’m also happy to do it. Tattooing sometimes is a matter of opportunities, and when i get my opportunities to do a nice piece, i embrace it with all my heat, thank you Adam
Thanos “The mad Titan”
It was such a pleasure to do a colour portrait of Thanos. Avengers “infinity wars” was a piece of art to be appreciated by any artist. I watched that movie in the cinema 5 times. Comic Tattoos have always been close to my heart, as comic was the beginning of my love for art, thank you
