This is the result of my last 3 working days. I made this on an italian guy. He came from Cesena to get tattoed his leg. Thanks a lot for the confidence and the endurance. peace

New stage,

new ideas.

My blog posts have been pretty half-hearted for quite a while, please excuses my sloppy web-presence. I am always weary of the internet, especially since I use it to disseminate images of my commercial work. I don't want to come off as shameless or exploitative of the generous people who come to me for tattoos. I feel strongly though about the work I've been doing lately, so I'm starting to try to make more of an effort to put my best e-foot forward. The work that I've had the privilege to do this summer has been amazing. Here are some new pieces and some other photographs that have inspired me lately.

Summer's over, we all know.

Really fun.

Great one in Brunkild, never seen this before.

Keith Richards was there too.

This style of tombstone is amazing. I've got a few nice tattoo designs of these if anyone's interested.

A hand-poked tattoo I did a while back, fully healed. In case you're interested in work like this, I should tell you, I hand poke at the shop, and this took me two hours.

Another fun little one. Balsam poplar.

So many fun ones! Wishbone... check.

Some juniper for Shally's sister.

Jared Arnason - Five-oh - skate park west.
 
 This pile of bison bones were at Fort Whyte, worth checking out. I don't know if you're supposed to handle them or not, but I sure did.

 
The wheat in the centres of this Fleur De Lis was already there, I added the Fleur, to make it look less like a pot leaf.

 
The "everything Went Black" artwork, it was on my list of stuff I'd love to tattoo... Check.

 
I managed this photo of a crow while camping at Otter Falls with Avery.


A black capped chickadee on the rampage!

Avery's first ferris wheel ride at the Morden corn and apple festival.

Shally, my beautiful wife.

The Sam!

It's been a while

I've been slacking a bit with posting stuff, but I will be keeping this more up to date in the coming weeks. If you want our most up to date news, your best bet is our Facebook Page or Instagram @mf_farrell for me and @jovendor for Jo, we update them pretty much daily. I've also been pretty bad at taking photos recently but I've got a new camera now, so in the coming weeks I'll be posting more work as well.
Jo and I will be working at the East Coast Tattoo Convention in November, which you should all have a look at, Jo's particularly looking forward to the hog roast, and we'll have a load of designs drawn up for that.
We'd also like to thank everyone we met at the Norwich Body Arts Festival, we had a great time there and tattooed a few nice pieces, looking forward to going back to that beautiful city next year.
Anyway, here are couple things we've had through the door recently

Farrell

This is a photo of Cinderella all healed up on Teagan, we're working it into a half sleeve at the moment and we're not too far off from being finished right now


A happy bear with lots of honey for Layla, I'm going to be tattooing a goose on her on Monday in a similar style


And this Layla's russian doll that I did about 2 years ago now
