#NAOHOAstory…Dancing Ganesha

NAOHOA
(1/3) This bubbly duo approached me for their first tattoos. 💕 I’ll only be showing one of their tattoos (right), as the other is deeply personal and the client wishes to keep it off social media. It’s never too late to get inked! I’ve tattoo’ed plenty of people in their 50’s and 60’s for their first piece of body art. 🎨 #NAOHOAstory

(3/3) I had the pleasure of bumping into this client whilst meeting a friend for coffee! Happy to see it healed beautifully and that even her mum was won over by it!! 😲 #Win #NAOHOAstory

#NAOHOAstory…Dream (Catcher) Bride

NAOHOA

Alexis and I met at the NatWest Accelerator Hub (Cardiff) and bonded right away. She runs a subscription business, where activity packs are sent to your home each month to encourage kids to express their creativity. In a world full of phones and tablets, Mila & Pheebs aim to make playtime tactile again!

.


(1/5) This bride-to-be wanted a coverup on her wrist in time for the big day. 💐 #NAOHOAstory

.

.

(3/5) The old tattoo (left) was by another artist and had been through a few laser removal sessions. It was originally an emerald stone, in memory of her grandma, who left her a piece of jewellery with said stone…not happy with the result, she promptly asked me to cover it up when we met by chance at the #NatWestAccelerator hub! #NAOHOAstory⠀⠀⠀

.


(4/5) Bye-bye old tattoo~ A dreamcatcher with her kids’ initials inside. #NAOHOAstory

What Did She Think?

” Naomi did my cover up and I can’t recommend her enough. She was so professional, fully understood my idea and her attention to detail is impeccable. “

What Were His Thoughts?

I went to Naomi for my first tattoo and from the beginning she made me feel welcome and at ease. The studio is amazing, as soon as you walk into it you feel comfortable and chill. I gave Naomi a rough idea as to what I wanted and she designed it amazingly to the style I liked. Would definitely do business here again and look forward to getting my second tattoo with Naomi.

#NAOHOAstory…Rasta Lion

NAOHOA

If you’ve got an old tattoo you’re not too fond of, worry not! NAOHOA is no stranger to coverups, as you’ll see in the next few images…

(1/4) After spotting my lion tattoo that was on display at Comic Con, this client approached me to cover up, what his family had fondly dubbed, his “diseased donkey”. 😂🐴🦁 #NAOHOAstory

(2/4) Here are two design options I gave for his coverup. It was drawn on top of a faint photo of his existing tattoo from 20 years ago…#NAOHOAstory

(3/4) On the far left is the original tattoo from 20 years ago. In the first session (middle), I faded it out with skin-tone ink and put down the outline of my design. Once healed, I went over it with colour. 🦁 #NAOHOAstory

(4/4) Bye-bye, Diseased Donkey! 😆 ‘NP’ is in memory of his grandma, who was a reggae fan. Unfortunately, some of the original tattoo reemerged after the lion healed, but the client was happy with the overall look and wanted to keep it that way. The foliage was especially fun to ink! Thanks so much for trusting me with this piece, Gareth, and thanks to Showmasters for making our paths cross at Comic Con! ✌ #NAOHOAstory

What Did He Think Of It?

I cannot recommend NAOHOA enough! Naomi was able to cover up an absolute travesty of a tattoo that I’d been hiding for around 20 years. I am now so proud to walk around with an absolute stunner of a work-of-art on my arm. One draw back is I’ve found I do take my top off more now which is a little strange in the office! Naomi was great to deal with which is always good when you’re sat next to each other for hours on end, she makes you feel relaxed and comfortable during the whole process. 10/10, gold star, top marks!

NAOHOA

Not all tattoos have to have a deep meaning behind them. Art can be enjoyed on walls, worn on clothes or even on our skin. There’s no right or wrong way to appreciate beauty. 🎨

(1/3) This client wanted a combination of floral and geometric elements…#NAOHOAstory
(2/3) Design options! At NAOHOA, you get to pick and choose features to your liking. It’s a collaborative process, where we work together to create your ideal tattoo. 🎨 Sometimes, I’ll share the process LIVE via #InstagramLive⠀⠀
Spoiler Alert: No. 1 & 3 are up for grabs. 😉🌹 #NAOHOAstory⠀⠀⠀
(3/3) Finito! A blend of realistic, geometric and dot work all in one. What flower would you choose? 🌸 🌼🌷 🌹 🌻 🌺 #NAOHOAstory⠀⠀⠀⠀

What She Had to Say

Naomi is the friendliest woman ever, her artwork is amazing and she goes above any expectation I could have thought of. Very easy to talk to, and overall amazing at what she does.
