I went out with a group of friends the other week and met some new people, one of them was a very lovely man with a set of stunning tattoos.

I have no tattoos of my own but I am quite fascinated by the artwork in high quality tattoos and particularly love vintage/sailor type tatttoos. One of his tattoos was bondage themed, and set me off drawing this tattoo inspired illustration today

I often browse through art books and although I haven’t bought it yet, if you also like vintage themed tattoos it’s well worth nipping into Waterstones and having a look through this lovely book, which I have drooled at more than once now
