Beginning of my leg sleeve

I started my full leg sleeve with Tom Carr over the weekend. Despite sitting for over 7 hours, I'm incredibly happy with the piece and excited to continue the journey.

Ruru: A Piece of Home

My second tattoo is a Ruru, a native NZ owl, symbolizing my deep connection to home and the sounds of my childhood. I miss the Moreporks at night and this little one on my back brings me comfort. I plan to expand this into a native bird and plant sleeve.
