(1/3) This client wanted a lively Alice in Wonderland tattoo to distract from her scars. They were a few years old and her skin felt strong enough to withstand the tattooing process, so we went ahead! #NAOHOAstory⠀
(3/3) Finito~ Here, you can see her scars as they were before adding the Alice in Wonderland tattoo. The scars are still visible, but they help distract and empower the wearer to feeling better about herself. 💖 #NAOHOAstory

(4/3) Bonus #NAOHOAstory pic! Here’s a photo I took of the station after tattooing. Colour tattoos take quite a lot of prep time ’cause I blend colours from scratch, in order to colour-match the design. It’s time-consuming, but gives better results than using straight from the tube. Designing based on colours I have would be limiting and make my work look samey, so I treat the process more like an oil painting.

It was a real honour to work on this piece, which has gone to have a positive effect on her wellbeing. It’s moments like this that make my job and running a business all worthwhile. 🙂
