Fine line botanical tattoos in Manchester
Fine line flowers and leaves, drawn by hand for you and shaped to the lines of your body.
Florals I've tattooed
Tap any piece to see it larger and how long it took.
Drawn to follow your body
For larger pieces I often draw straight onto your skin instead of using a stencil. The stems and petals grow along your curves, so the tattoo looks as though it has always been there.
Bring the flowers that mean something to you: a birth flower, one from your wedding, one from your grandmother's garden. I'll build the design around them.
Fresh and healed
The same flowers on the day and once they have settled into the skin.

Three ways to wear them
Black and greyFine lines and soft shading. It ages gently and suits every skin tone.
Full colourThe flower's real colours, blended and layered so the petals look alive.
A wash of colourBlack and grey line work with a light touch of colour, like watercolour on a sketch.
From a single stem to a sleeve
A fine line flower can be as small as a single stem on the wrist or the ankle. Small florals start from £200 and usually take an hour or two.
A half day suits a piece of around 10 to 15 cm, like a bunch of flowers on the forearm or the upper arm. A full day suits 20 to 25 cm: a spine piece, a thigh, a shoulder that runs onto the collarbone. Bigger work, like a floral sleeve or a back piece, is done over several sessions, and I'll tell you how many when I quote.

Fine line work needs a little room to breathe, so I may suggest going slightly bigger than you pictured. It keeps the tattoo crisp as it settles over the years.
The flowers you bring
Roses and peonies are the flowers I'm asked for most, but some of my favourite pieces started with something smaller: forget-me-nots from a mum's garden, poppies, daffodils, morning glories, a sprig of leaves to finish a design.
Just tell me which flowers mean something to you. Every design is drawn from scratch, by hand, and made for you alone. If you want a flower for each person in your family, the birth flowers are a good place to start.
Prefer something ready to go? My flash designs are drawn already, priced per placement, and each one is tattooed only once.
