Zoë recently completed a back piece she has been working on over the last two years with her super strong client Kaz.
It is always such an honour to tattoo a back piece and Kaz decided on the subject matter of a hannya mask, snake and peonies. Three elements that are perfect for a large scale design and all favourites of Zoë to tattoo.
Oliver and Nash have been chipping away over the last year on this mountainous tiger back piece.
Nash has been consistently making the trip down from Newcastle to visit Olly and get tattooed. Only one or two more sessions to go!
