tattooing – Cat makes art

Progress pieces from Berlin.

Hello guys!

Well, it’s been more than a while. When was the last time I posted something here? Ages ago. Anyway I thought to try to get back to it until… Who knows? Instagram takes most of my time which sucks big time! I wished we could get a bit more old-school respecting the internet. But well, I’ve been complaining about it a bit too much lately to my latest customer’s, so guys if you are reading this forgive this lady. Also thank you for not complaining about me singing songs 80% of the time in the sessions. I am always surprised at how you guys can stand my terrible voice!

Let’s go back to tattoos. I’ve had a lot of unfinished pieces that I thought I’d share.

Annika’s underboob. She is always coming again for more!

Fredrik’s sleeve, master of programming Candy Crush.

I will get into the details of these pieces once I get to finish them. It’s always exciting for me to work on big-scale projects/medium ones! Thanks to everybody coming to get such awesome pieces with me!

Remember that if you do want a tattoo you can write me to bookingwithcat@protonmail.com 🙂

Thanks!

Tattoos from Berlin

Good evening anybody who is reading this!

I am bringing to you more news from my latest works. Working in Das Kabinett had been very productive for me, even after the virus situation. I’ve doing some flash lately, and Elina decided to take one bloody swan from it. I specially like this piece, as it’s a cool mix between a more classical neo-traditional with a touch of organic illustration. The color makes it pop in a very strong red in contrast with the delicate head of the animal. I would love to do more pieces like this in the future.

A more general view of her arm! The color of it matches her hair and other pieces she has.

Apart of this piece, I also did a pretty beautiful peony on Nicky. This was custom. Would love to do more peonies in the future, flowers are always very nice to work on!

Thanks for watching, hope you all enjoyed this pieces and see you next time :),

Spooky tattoos and next guest spot at London

Hello everyone,

I will not complain about my times for uploading this little blog of mine, I promise!

Today I am coming to show you the tattoos I did on the event we had at Meatshop for Halloween. We worked on a bunch of designs, and I must admit that I’ve tried some days before the date to come up with more of them, but I just got completely blocked for two consecutive days, which was pretty much annoying as I felt like wasting my time trying to draw stuff that it just wasn’t working. Anyway, the day before the 31th I did a little game on my instagram stories where I asked my followers to tell me what they would want to see me drawing for Halloween, and I ended up making lot of flashes for the event from those ideas. Thanks everyone who sended me stuff, and sorry the ones I couldn’t find more time for drawing the rest of the ideas.

That dog with two heads (that its not my original drawing), is from the art cover from The Melvins – Houdini. Love doing different things like this one time to time!

There you can check properly the designs I came up with for the event. The last sheet it’s not finished as I got lazy with that “voodoo skull”. It was already too late at night! It will be nice to push myself to drawing that one properly one day., and filling the rest of the paper with more designs. Mostly all of those flash is still available, so come by the shop or send me an e-mail if you may be interested!

Also, my lastests news are that I will be working at The Family Business in London. My available dates at the shop are 23th, 24th, 25th, 26th, 29th and 30th of November. I am already booking up some dates, so if you want to get something by me, don’t wait too longer!!!

I can’t wait to meet you,

Tattoos made from Vienna

Hello peoples!

Long time since that last piece I’ve decided to share with all the internet folks out there. Anyway, today I will let you know a little bit about my last tattoo trip, which I enjoyed a lot.

I did a guest spot some days ago at the tattoo studio Sissi got Inked in Vienna. That studio is one of the most cozyests shop I’ve been very lucky to work in. I worked alongside Konstanze, Kadaverism and Anni Richter, who apart from being super talented artists, they are great human beings. They made my staying super comfortable, making me feel part of their tattoo family. Thanks again guys for the hospitality!

The firsts two days at the studio, we made more progress on Philipp’s sleeve who came firstly one week before my travel to Vienna for starting his sleeve with me at Meatshop. Usually, I work making the first session all the solid line work properly -but because he wanted to do a tattoo marathon (basically) and take more than one session next to each other, we just sketched the stencil on his arm and then decided to finish it by parts so that way, his skin wasn’t getting too overworked and damaged. That way too, it wasn’t too painful for him! This time in Vienna, we got to do the lower part of his arm. Thank you dude for the great music, talks, and laughs. See you soon to keep working on this!

Apart from Phillipp’s sleeve, I was staying one more day at the shop that was filled from a piece from my flash. The piece was done on Dave, A super chilled dude who was a completely pleasure for me to work with too! Sorry about that awkward position you had to get through during the tattoo, you did amazing.

I will come back and for more days to do more tattoos for sure!!! Thanks to everyone who was interested in getting tattooed by me and couldn’t make it this time. If you are in Vienna or you are thinking about travelling for getting a piece -you have to come and spend some quality time at Sissi got Inked. Your tattoo experience will be in a relaxed enviorenment filled with good music, food, skulls, art and nice company.

Looking forward meeting you all,

Cat

Nordic piece for Carlos

Hello everyone,

It’s been long since my last post, but well, here you have me again. Life lately has been about only working as much as I can, and trying to figure it out how to present my work on social media. Finally I got a camera! (which I am still fightning with, trying to understand how to use it properly) and I also got some little time to type on this website and speak about my last piece with you.

This time I am going to show you this tattoo that was done on Carlos, who came all the way from London, desperately wanting to get this piece with me. I know, it’s weird, right? Like, who the hell travels that long to spend so much time with a weirdo like me. When he arrived to the shop -he looked like he just came from hell. It seems like he didn’t had any money for the plane ticket because he was spending it already on the tattoo, and decided to swim the atlantic ocean and then get to Barcelona with auto-stop. I’ve never met a customer that is that mad before (and also a bit creepy) Anyway, here is the result:

This piece was highly inspired on a leg I did some time ago with my boss (Peter Madsen) and it took us two full day sessions. I was pretty surprise that Carlos sat throught those two days properly, considerating the state that he came with to the shop. It ended up being a very good man. The only time he spoke with me was when we were finishing the second day -thank you Carlos for being so scary to work with.

Here you can check a little video of the piece too.

Until next time, strangers!
