Available pre-drawn designs can be seen here.

The booking guide can be found here.

"Thank you so much for THE loveliest few hours. Genuinely feel like I’ve had a spa morning! I am thrilled with my sweet peas- they are stunning."

It was a pleasure Sarah! I'm so happy with these delicate little sweet peas. This was a bespoke design but I'd love to create some similar pieces.

Tattoo enquiries are open via the form on my website. Come and hang out at my private garden studio near Bedford and we'll make some permanent pretties 🌸🌿

Been thinking about getting one of my tattoos? Come hang out in my cosy little garden studio near Bedford and let’s make it happen! These are my last available spots for May, with more dates open for June and July too.

Things have been a little quieter lately (I know I’m not the only one feeling it). I’m trying to get better with socials and marketing, but I don’t want it to drain all my brain energy. So if you’ve been meaning to book in, that would be truly wonderful! You'll be helping me avoid getting a real job just yet.

⚡ You can save £20 on appointments booked before 5th May, for slots up to the end of July. Let me know in the comments if you'd like the offer code to add to your enquiry form. Feel free to ask me any questions! 👇

Sally couldn’t wait—she booked her next tattoo before even leaving the studio! Always such a joy catching up and tattooing you, Sally. Thanks so much for making the trip from Leicester again! 🤗

The decorative tattoo above her wild grass was done by another artist, but you can spot a glimpse of the healed echinacea we did a while back. I’ll be sharing some healed photos of that one soon—along with a healed crocus and fuchsia. 🌸

Caroline came from Suffolk for her fourth tattoo with me — always such a pleasure to have her in the studio. Thank you so much, Caroline! It really means a lot when people come back. 🤗

Talk to me about your favourite leaves! The first tattoo I gave myself was an oak leaf, followed by a ginkgo.🌿

1 month healed oak grain tattoo on the lovely @hollyh.artist! I caught up with her this morning at @bedfordflea where she was selling her stunning paintings — couldn’t resist picking up a few. Great to see you, Holly. Check out her work!

I met the lovely Lesley yesterday and got to tattoo this dreamy, flowing jellyfish from my flash designs — a symbol of intuition, adaptability, and going with the flow.

Huge thanks to Lesley for being incredibly patient — those tentacles took a bit longer than expected (but hey, at least you didn’t have to stay overnight haha).

Swipe to see more pics, including a few Lesley captured herself and some lovely feedback. Should’ve clipped my fringe up, but here we are!

Such a fun session — thank you again, Lesley 🤗

If you love this design, it's available a few more times to tattoo. Always happy to do something similar also if you'd like a bespoke jelly friend!

✨ All likes, comments, shares and save are hugely appreciated!

When Mim asked me to tattoo a seal, I couldn’t say yes fast enough! Meet Reiki the seal — what a beauty. Huge thanks to Mim for your patience and trust! I’d love to create more designs like this one.

Jess sent some great healed photos with a lovely message a WHOLE YEAR AGO and I never got around to posting them (until now!). Thank you so much Jess! 🤗

"I’m still really in love with it, and I just want to say thank you again for making my first tattoo experience so lovely.
You have a beautiful studio and you helped me feel so much more calm than I thought I would be!"

Drop a ♥️ if you love a fern.
