The client bought her own artwork for this leaping lion tattoo on the thigh.

More Cherubs, a good example of healed work next to fresh ink. This picture was taken from a funny angle the placement is the inside of the bicep. I still have a load of updates for the website, I am trying to work through them daily so keep checking back to see new tattoos, you can also see many more examples of this type of work in my black and grey gallery.

A healed Angel tattoo by Simon at Middleton Tattoo Studio. This angel sits on the outside of the arm and goes with the recently posted cherub tattoo. For more examples of my black and grey work please visit the black and grey gallery.

This pin-up style Angel was a lot of fun to do, I really enjoy doing pin up style work in black and grey so if anyone has a cool idea then get in contact with me at the Middleton Tattoo Studio.

The Guardian Angel above will still look good in years to come rather than just becoming an outline. (more…)

Nice to see all my Royal Marines and Parachute Regiment guys coming home safely from various tours of duty. A royal Marine Dagger on one of the regulars.
