@lientietattoos Most of a rib tattoo! Just a lil couple of flowers and a ball of yarn to add at the bottom next time. It was fun to find a way to make it flow, and still add in the extra bits and piece like the bike and compass, combined with the botanical tattoos style ✨

@lientietattoos Some gladioli for Thea ! These flowers have such a beautiful shape, so a stem of them worked so well as a forearm tattoo. Definitely feels like time for more botanical tattoos now the sun is out again ✨ (it’s been so long 💀)

@lientietattoos Finishing a tattoo sleeve always feels amazing, and it’s so cool to see this manga sleeve come to completion! Joe stuck with it for a couple of years to get it done, and has made some fantastic personal achievements in that time (watched all of One piece 😤🙌)
Sorry I still haven’t watched any of it after all that time 🤣 I swear I will one day.

@lientietattoos Claddagh with vines and some hidden shamrocks for Niamh’s Irish heritage! She asked for something fineline with colour but for it to still look delicate, so I made sure to keep it light for this tattoo.

Sick rib piece by @tattoosbycourtneyshort ! This one has a winding snake wrapping around delicate flowers.
Rib tattoos always seem 50/50 on if people hate the pain, or don't mind it at all. People who've had them, how do you rate rib tattoo pain?

@lientietattoos Some cute delicate little maple leaf tattoos, celebrating her Canadian heritage 🇨🇦 I will never get sick of tattooing leaves, especially autumn coloured leaves!
Botanical tattoos are not just flowers, but there’s so many gorgeous types of leaves out there that translate well to tattoos.

@lientietattoos Abstract thistle tattoo from a few weeks ago! I keep finding photos I forgot to post so I’m gonna try and get more consistent at this 🤣

Thistles are such interesting looking flowers, and always evoke the image of the wild Scottish highlands for me. The green and purple make such a stunning combination for a bold tattoo! ✨

We actually hosted a burns night celebration this year because my partner was nostalgic for Scottish food. And I never realised just how many Scottish dishes were oat based, after 3 courses of oat food I was ready to not eat again for a long while 💀 Haggis is genuinely so good though??

@lientietattoos A big calf tattoo from the other week! Elisa found a gorgeous children’s book style illustration before of a boy in a tree catching stars, and asked for a custom tattoo inspired by the same concept.
So I painted up a custom design for her with a cartoon of her son, catching stars with the grandparents initials in ✨

It reminded me so much of artwork from books I read when I was young, so it was really fun and nostalgic to create a tattoo design in this style!

I want to hear your nostalgic books, what did you read as a kid? For me the Faraway Tree is one that always stuck with me!
(Also Petruska but for a different reason, those puppet ghosts gave me trauma 😭)

@lientietattoos A bluebell coverup tattoo for Patsy ✨ Swipe for the tattoo below and how we covered it!
I always love flowers for coverups because you can use the flow of the shape below to make something organic looking. Especially with abstract or tribal tattoos to be covered, the shapes can be use to create leaves and vines.

It’s not always possible if the previous tattoo is too dark, but often there can still be ways round it, without having to just plonk a bit dark rose over the top!

If you have a tattoo you’d like covering but aren’t sure if it’d be possible, feel free to message me to chat. I’ll always be honest if I don’t think I could do a good enough job of it, or let you know if it needs laser first.

@lientietattoos Dotwork vines tattoo ✨ For this tattoo we went with some sprawling vines climbing over their shoulder, creating a nice flow.
When I do non colour tattoos, dotwork and woodcut style is definitely my preferred way of shading! Love the effect of dotwork on the vine leaves, and this sort of style holds up well over time.
I feel like anything plant based is just timeless when it comes to tattoos aswell 🍁 🍃
