shelltattoos @ Thirteen Feet Tattoo (Haymarket) - Oops, I Got Another Tattoo!

March 10, 2023

I ASKED FOR A 13, BUT THEY DREW A 31!

Celebrating another trip around the sun with a new artist and new ink, the rockstar that is @shelltattoos!

Alright, it’s becoming a pattern: another birthday, another tattoo… or two. I wasn’t intending to get a tattoo, but the more I looked at my leg, I realised, yes, I do want a tattoo.

Yeehawww I'm back with hanntatts @ Wicked Ink - Oops, I Got Another Tattoo!

August 13, 2022

A small one, but a whole lot of pain

Adding two mid-year bangers because I can’t seem to go more than a few months without the tattoo itch

I’m very happy to see that Hannah is still thriving at Wicked Ink, she’s becoming increasingly popular and in high demand for her fantastic designs. Although her pieces are getting larger, I still go in for small ones to decorate my leg. Plus, Wicked Ink Campbelltown is a delightful gem of a shop out in the Sydney suburbs. All the tattooists and reception team there has such a great bond so I do recommend paying them a visit.

It's My Birthday! With hanntatts @ Wicked Ink - Oops, I Got Another Tattoo!

March 13, 2022

Work Gives You Cash As A Gift and You Know What That Means!

My dirty thirty is here and the team at GGSP knew there was only one thing that I wanted in life, tattoos.

In March, I announced to GGSP that I would be leaving the team and starting a new job in the animation industry. I had about five weeks to spend as much time with the gang and for my birthday, we went out for burgers and beers.

Dad, Cats & Tatts with Tori Li Tattoo - Oops, I Got Another Tattoo!

December 4, 2021

What better way to memorialise my Dad than a tattoo with Tori Li!

After several sessions had to be rescheduled, the date was finally here! Tori’s tattoos deliver a combination of fine line perfection and colour wizardry.

I think a friend was the one who said that every time someone gets a tattoo, the dates between each one get smaller every time. I think that friend was Veronica. Thanks, Veronica, that idea is very much true now!

Out Of Lockdown and Into the Chair with Jessie @ Thirteen Feet Tattoo! - Oops, I Got Another Tattoo!

October 31, 2021

What’s a Pal to do After the Sydney Lockdown? Get Ink, Of Course!

As soon as bookings for one of my favourite places opened, the tattoo urge was real and Jessie was ready to take on the design for an anime tattoo.

Don’t trust one’s tired and bored self after lockdown, you’ll just end up with another tattoo. Oops!

I thought about getting something a little different when I booked with Jessie. She specialises in black and grey and fineline; a mother of two boys and a kickass tattooist who packs a punch. I’ve seen her do many anime pieces on her and Thirteen Feet Tattoo’s Instagram, so I decided I’d get a Bleach tattoo!

I Got Another Tattoo From hanntats AGAIN

June 27, 2021

Sometimes Spontaneous Tattoos Are The Best Ones

I’m back in the wonderful tattoo world of hanntats and this one has transported me to a woodland fantasy just before the Sydney lockdown

Hann drew a custom piece for me that was similar to one of her previous flash sheets. It was a cute froggy boy and a butterfly situated on top of a mushroom. It was a classic hanntats design and I was keen for it on my skin.

hanntatts @ Wicked Ink - Oops, I Got Another Tattoo!

May 26, 2021

A charming and fantastical delight!

hanntats’ designs are full of whimsy, ranging from trad roses to adorable critters in the woodlands. It’s hard to believe she’s an apprentice tattooer!

I started filling up my Instagram feed with tattooers whose aesthetic matched mine. I have been enjoying saturated colour tattoos and bold linework and I’m getting the itch for my own “patchwork sleeve”. I stumbled across hanntats, who’d only just begun her tattoo journey last year and did her first tattoo this year in March.

April 24, 2021

Unique & Nerdy Tattoos

Head to Abbie France for all your geeky ideas and expect beautiful linework complemented with impeccable white highlights

If you’re a tattoo enthusiast in Sydney, you will have heard about Abstruse Tattoo Studio, a private studio located in Hurlstone Park. They specialise in all things nerdy, with each artist donning their unique style. You can book yourself in for a realism portrait, neo-tradition or even new school design. It was a pretty obvious choice for my next tattoo!

Southern California - The Edit

May 9, 2020

It’s cold and dreary here in Sydney, so let me reminisce with the best photos I took during my trip to Southern California

Our trip to Southern California has really shaped me into a different person today. I think about palm trees and beaches a lot, I eat avocado on toast about 2-3x a week (maybe more) and sometimes I have to tell myself I don’t drive on the right-hand side of the road.

Julie Bolene @ Thunderbird Tattoo LA - Oops, I Got Another Tattoo!

February 22, 2020

That Desert Aesthetic

Julie Bolene’s big and bold tattoos saturated in deep colours are everything I wanted to complement the end of my vacation in Southern California.

I first discovered Julie Bolene’s tattoos through treacle tatt’s video titled “L.A. Tattoo Artists You Should Go To”. At the time, I hadn’t decided that I was travelling to L.A. but followed the artists mentioned because I wanted to expand my knowledge of tattoo artists abroad.
