Sleeve building and freehand gap filling!!!Working around existing tattoos (that were done elsewhere)...was fun to add this Apollo piece to the Greek mythology sleeve and love doing my twisty, swirly, smokey randomness to fill awkward gaps😉 #tattoolife #tattoogapfiller #freehandtattoo #makeitupasigo #tattoosleeve #tattooedmen #inkedguys #birminghamtattooist

Johnny Cash portrait from today. This one wraps quite a bit so difficult to get photos of the whole tattoo. Was an absolute pleasure to do though, looking forward to getting the healed pics👍 #johnnycash #portraittattoo #tattoosleeve #tattooedmen #tattoooftheday #tattoosofinstagram #instagood #inkstagram #inked #inkedguys #inkedmen #tattoolife #tattoolove #blackandgreytattoo #birminghamtattooist #starrtattoosupplies #dynamicinks
