I love the gothic style to this, reminds me of a vampire movie! Great styling, composition and the colour tones are fantastic too. I'd love to know where this was taken, I'm intrigued about the house. A brilliant shot with lots of interesting points - well done

There have been several showing the artists at work but none others with just the tools. I love the intricacies of the tattoo gun and its great to see that featured in this shot. I really wanted to leave a review as I appreciate this shot despite there not being any actual tattoos in it

I love the character of this shot and a brilliant story to go with it - he's a brave man!!! This caught my eye right away and I've looked at it many times. I especially like the monochromatic look as I think full colour might have been very distracting. Great composition and story telling - congratulations

This was an absolute standout for me - the lighting, positioning and facial expression really drew me in. Very simple concept but beautifully executed. Brings out such definition in the artwork and also makes me want to know more about his story. I get a huge sense of emotion from this - congratulations on a fantastic shot!

I just love this shot! Absolutely fantastic to see a different generation rocking their artwork! Was this taken at a festival? I'm sure she has a lot of stories to tell! Did you use editing for the blurred effect? I see a slight halo around the lady which is a shame as it is a little distracting for me but I still think it's a great photo, well done!

The use of negative space in this shot really adds to the drama and emotion. Great lighting and really nice muted tones. A very effective piece of work which makes me want to know more about the person. Well done on a really good photo

This could be straight from a movie or music video - I love it! Brilliant texture and colour. Whilst the overall images gives me an eerie feeling, the softness in the gent's eyes tells a different story. A very clever shot - congratulations!

Great to see the artist at work and this shot stood out for me above the others due to the depth of field and overall composition. Very simple yet highly effective, great colour richness too. Well done on a fab photo

This piece is completely wacky but highly original and totally up my street!! I have no idea why there's a tattooed unicorn in stockings but it's so much fun, full of mystery and very entertaining - I'd hang this on my wall. Well done for doing something completely different 😁

I have 4 of my own and currently designing my 5th as a treat for my next birthday. Let me see your best pics of designs either as finished works or being done by the artist. Any style, colour and positioning is accepted. If there's a significant meaning to the design, I'd love to read about it in the comments too if you want to share it. Go on..... inspire me to get my own finished 😁
