OPENING SOON!!! @heartandsoul_tattoo ************************ ************************ ************************ Myself and my long time friend & mentor Brian Graydon aka @porkrobot are opening our very own tattoo oasis in the creative hub of the Nicholas Building, just a stones throw from Flinders street station in the Melbourne CBD. 15 years ago I worked in the Nicholas building steaming vintage clothes all day long and saved my pennies to get tattooed by Brian. Seeing the tattoos and paintings that Brian was doing at that time blew me away and introduced me to a world of tattooing that pretty much changed my whole life. I became obsessed and worked two jobs and all I could think about was saving those dollars and getting tattooed! Tattoos are still pretty much all I think about actually and it’s a dream come true to work alongside someone who has always supported and inspired me and been the biggest influence in my tattoo career. Heart & Soul Tattoo will open December 2018 I can’t wait to share more details and pics of the space very soon!
Ling Ling was visiting Melbourne from NYC, she practically got her whole forearm tattooed during her stay! These are some of my favorite subject matter to tattoo, so I had lots of fun doing these and seeing them all come together on her arm too!
“As little flowers, which the chill of night has bent and huddled, when the white sun strikes, grow straight and open fully on their stems, so did I, too, with my exhausted force.”
