Leg piece for Katherina, in progress

Hello people of the internet!

I am trying to prove that yes – I will take my website more seriously and keep it as active as I can 🙂

I’ve been working on a very awesome project lately that I want to show you guys the progress of it. Katherina contacted me some years ago – we did a piece around her belly, and after, she decided that she wanted to extend towards both legs. The concept for this project is about life and death, so one side of her body represents life and the other, of course, will represent death (once we finish with one leg) She loves the beauty and the decay of the natural world and she trusted me with my vision for her transformation. It’s been a real pleasure of mine to start such a big, complex tattoo for her! We both are enjoying the process, even if it’s a long one… for me, as a tattoo artist, being able to push my own limits in a piece this big it’s what I enjoy the most of my work. If you want to cover a huge area of your body, don’t hesitate to write!

Mostly all line-work is healed. Color is fresh same as some of the scales.

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!

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 :),

Moth from my flash

Hello everyone,

I am more than happy to be writing this right now -things in my life had been quite busy lately, so being able to just sit and start typing it’s getting quite relaxing… and I am excited too for showing you all the details of the last illustration I’ve been working on this week.

We had a flash event many moons ago where we celebrated spring and we all got inspired by our newest resident artist at the shop: Subliquida (Andrea Baiardo) He is an eccentric (but lovely) man who is obssesed with nature. I’ve never met before someone with such a passion for insects and botanical, and i’ts something that one can clearly appreciate in his own artwork. The event we had was an inauguration of his exposition at Meatshop, so we worked on some flash based on that theme. Unfortunately, I didn’t had enough time or inspiration to came with a bunch of flash as I usually do when we have flash events -but I made some of them which I ended up pretty happy with.

Still, I haven’t got to tattoo them! So that’s why I though about making a proper illustration of this designs -I wish that if you are closer to what my vision for the tattoo is, you will be as excited as me as seeing them on some skin.

I worked on this illustration in a way I haven’t worked in such a long time! Color pencils where my option for this little project, as I was at the shop and forgot about my watercolors at my place (duh) I am quite happy with the result. For sure I will use more color pencils in a future. Here you can see some other shots from the piece, details and a little bit of the process with the dotting.

And that’s it. Remember that this design is made for be a tattoo!! Don’t doubt in writing me, I do think it deserves a nice portion of skin to show off to the world.
