19.01.2022 A closer look at one of the blue banded bees I love bees so much. I've been bed bound for the last 4 days after I hurt my back. Fingers crossed the physio will give me the all clear to sit again today so I can get back to creating. @withlovetattoo

19.01.2022 Coloured this double barred finch and golden wattle. Healed lines, fresh colour Double barred finch males and females are similar except that females have a narrower black band. Immature birds are duller than adults with indistinct barring and upper parts tinged olive-grey. @withlovetattoo

18.01.2022 Black flying foxes for Bobbi. Black Flying-foxes are the largest species of flying-fox in Australia. At dusk, individuals fly out to feed on rainforest fruits as well as nectar and pollen from flowering eucalypts, paperbarks and banksias. When native foods are scarce, particularly during drought, they take fruit from orchards. @withlovetattoo

Four sessions of laser done at @mjdriverlasertattooremoval. Also big shout out to absolute legend Kezia who kindly let me swap appointments so we could complete this cover in time for Holly's wedding before the QLD border closed. Phew! ... @withlovetattoo

15.01.2022 Grizzly bear for Christine. I'm a bit rubbish at posting here since instagram disabled scheduling for non business accounts Lord help me, just going to have to hope that everyone sees my posts from weird hours because goddamn I am way too busy tattin to post between 4 - 6pm. I swear this app is all about jumping through hoops!!! @withlovetattoo

14.01.2022 Male red tailed black cockatoo for Jesse, his totem animal, with some Chrysanthemums. If you look closely you'll see the yellow sun in the tail feathers to represent the aboriginal flag. It's still bleeding a bit in this photo so it's tricky to see. Half healed half fresh. Thanks @jesse_sievers! @withlovetattoo

13.01.2022 Oh my heart He's just going on a pub quoll. https://mobile.abc.net.au//quoll-caught-breaking-/12316334

12.01.2022 I can't wait to get tattooing again at @withlovetattoo on June 13th! Also peep my beautiful horse tattoo by @tom_bartley. I'm always in jeans so I feel like it rarely gets seen! I have a lot a emails to work through at the moment as I am rebook all the postponed appointments with priority. If you are waiting on a reply you will get one soon.

12.01.2022 Finally got to tattoo this design from my bushfire flash. Kangaroo skull with kangaroo grass growing through the eye socket. I created this design as a symbol of regeneration, hope and the cycle of life. @withlovetattoo

12.01.2022 Blossoming eucalyptus sternum for a very tough lady who sat like a rock.

11.01.2022 Bit different from my usual. I haven't done a portrait in awhile and figured it was timely to post this one seeing we are all back to wearing masks again I post more of my realism to @harlequin_tattoo along with other styles of work. @withlovetattoo

10.01.2022 This is HUGE! There is so little footage on this fantastic marsupial, so it's pretty exciting to watch this new clip that has been discovered in the archives. It features Benjamin, the very last documented Tasmanian Tiger. Note the awful enclosure. It's no wonder thylacines never bred or lived long in those conditions. Benjamin died of exposure when a keeper accidentally locked him out from his warm den overnight. https://www.abc.net.au//tasmanian-tiger-thylacin/12263548

10.01.2022 Artist bundle for Jess. I snuck in my coloured pencil of choice a @fabercastellglobal polychromos because they are awesome, and pretty. @withlovetattoo

09.01.2022 Wanted to show you all the completed yellow tailed black cockatoo tattoo even though I had to edit the high hell out of this photo. Only the greens are fresh and the blacks were in the 2 week just healed super shiny stage and was reflecting a lot of light. But I love this tattoo so much. Black Cockatoos take a very long time to tattoo but it is so rewarding #blackcockatoo #yellowtailedblackcockatoo #cockatootattoo #parrottattoo #coastalbanksia #banksiatattoo #australiantattooartist #australiantattoo #australiantattoos #brisbanetattoo #botanicaltattoo @withlovetattoo #tattoo #ink

09.01.2022 Variegated fairy wren and blossoming eucalyptus for Shanyn. Variegated Fairy-wrens inhabit dense heath and other thick undergrowth east of the main range, from about Wide Bay in Qld south to about the Victorian border. @withlovetattoo

08.01.2022 Healed Banksia and wattle on the ribs. @withlovetattoo

06.01.2022 I am offering fine art prints for the first time ever! Black-throated finch giclée reproduction printed on fine art watercolour paper with archival inks. $30 + plus postage. https://www.dreadarling.com//black-throated-finches-gicle/

04.01.2022 New info on my favourite australian animal!

03.01.2022 Brushtail possum with eucalyptus for Belinda. The brushtail possum is a semi-arboreal, nocturnal marsupial that weighs between 1.2-4.5 kg. Its fur is thick and woolly and varies from silver-grey, brown, black, to cream. It has a bushy prehensile tail which it uses to grasp onto branches. The brushtail possum is found throughout Australia. This possum eats leaves but also eats flowers, fruits, and insects. @withlovetattoo

02.01.2022 **EDIT** Spot has been filled. Thanks everyone for your enquiries. I've had some time come up tomorrow afternoon for a small/medium tattoo. Email me [email protected] if you'd like to book in.... And just a heads up, I only have a few spots left for the rest of the year and I am currently taking bookings for January.

02.01.2022 Added a sunflower on Darcy under a healed butterfly I did a year ago. Spewing I forgot to touch up that antennae! I'll have to get that next time. But a good example to show you all what we like to touch up. @withlovetattoo

02.01.2022 Laughing kookaburra with gum on the forearm for Lilly. The kookaburra has been nicknamed the bushman’s alarm clock." Families gather year-round at sunrise and sunset to announce their territorial boundaries. A shorter burst of laughter is used when trying to locate family members. An intense koooaa sound serves as an alert to some sort of outside threat, while a sharp cackle asserts dominance and indicates an imminent attack on another bird. Softer chuckles and squawks are used during courtship in the breeding season. Juveniles use similar sounds to beg for food or show submission. @withlovetattoo
