Guidance, protection, and a love that never fades — a very special memorial piece for Janene’s mother ♥️🪶♥️ #lismoretattoo #lismorecbd #northernriversartist #owltattoo #birdlovers

I always love tattooing birds but this one has a particularly special story! Twice, before Mel knew she was pregnant, kookaburras visited her in remarkable ways—stepping inside her home, calling out to her and hanging around her as if they were her pet birds or she was their pet human! This design is based on Mel’s story—a kookaburra singing her sons’ names. We didn’t photograph the script this time because there was too much leftover stencil on the upper arm. We’ll take some healed photos soon. #KookaburraTattoo #BlackAndGreyInk #NatureAndLife #birdlover #australianbirds #lismoretattoo

Octopuses are so fascinating! Did you know that they have three hearts? But what I like most about them is that they're all about adapting, outsmarting and moving with the flow. I loved tattooing this piece for Lisa. Do you have a particular animal that resonate with you? #octopustattoo #lismoretattoo #lismorecbd

Stunning shots of @jess_h_beauty_ and her ink collection that we’ve worked on together over the past five years. Captured beautifully by the talented Raimond at @studio_now_lismore, how much do these photos reflect the vibrant spirit of Lismore?!? This town is alive with creativity! Full of amazing souls who pour their passion into their work, uplift each other and nurture a community that celebrates art, individuality, and connection. Here’s to the journey so far and to all who make it possible!

“Should I use numbing cream?” A frequently asked question. For a long time, I’ve had my reservations about numbing creams, which I always explain to clients. And, ultimately, leave the use of numbing creams up to personal preference. But recently, Ash came in for a series of tattoos on some spicy spots and used @numbastay beforehand. She literally didn’t feel a thing—no flinching, no squirming—which allowed me to work faster and finish more pieces in one sitting. The cream did leave her skin quite red but it was minimal and passed quickly. So, Ash got more bang for her buck, more tattoos for less cash… definitely a case of “no pain = more gain” So, if you’re considering numbing up for your next session, definitely give Numbastay a go.
