Vibrant Universe

#NAOHOAstory: I quickly gained a rep for painterly, watercolour-style tattoos – drawing from my experience as a traditional and digital artist.

This is one of the most popular pieces: a swirling circle of rainbow colours to represent the universe and all it encompasses. It was her first tattoo and remains one of my favourite pieces and demonstration of my skills.

Tattoos like this take a long time to prepare. I didn’t at the time, but am contemplating charging extra for watercolour pieces, as mixing inks can sometimes take an hour or more. 😱🎨 I don’t like complicating payment though. Any suggestions??
