A Day in the Life of a Tattoo Artist: Coffee Mishaps, Rainy Workdays, and Stunning Creations

Come and spend a rather busy day in the life with me
as a tattoo artist. So I woke up to come and make myself coffee
and then realise
that the coffee machine had literally leaked everywhere.
So I had to clean that up,
wait for that to dry. In the meantime,
I sorted out the dishwasher,
filled up the coffee capsules and then made myself a coffee,
which was very well deserved at that point.
And of course headed into work,
which is a fucking nightmare
cause it’s pissing it down outside with rain.
My trousers are too long, so they got absolutely soaked,
so they had to dry off. Had my breakfast
and then I actually ended up deciding to watch Wednesday.
I think the first part of my day,
I watched the Conor McGregor series,
but I wasn’t paying attention cause I was working,
so, yeah.
Anyways, this is my first piece.
This is actually free hand.
I’m so annoyed that I didn’t get a video of the sketch,
but this fit in so, so well.
This is just proof that I was watching Wednesday.
I’m not sure I’ve just. I’m.
I missed the film. I wanted to watch the film
and I had a very, very small break.
And then my very first one was actually a rework.
So this was the original piece,
it was done by myself. Um,
and then this is what I ended up doing.
So sort of giving it like a Darker,
scatty tail, sharper claws,
that sort of thing. And then my next one,
so on the other side is a healed bat.
So we went for like this sort of Gothic approach.
And then on this side, we wanted to do a bat skeleton. Um,
and I did webs along the sort of, um,
the wings, just to fill that out a little bit more.
But I was so obsessed with this piece.
This little guy is called bones,
and the other little guy is called Baphomet.
Oh, absolutely.
A bit of me came out so, so cute.
They. Well,
this one’s held stunning. And then when I was finished with my day,
it was about 4:00, so I started about 10. Um,
I went to M&S and got myself a little call in the caterpillar,
cause I hadn’t eaten since breakfast,
which is just a yoghurt. Um,
but, yeah, that was my Saturday.
