Mark Thompson Tattoo

Tattooed this piece at the Belfast Tattoo Convention at the Europa Hotel a couple of weekends ago.

Was great catching up with so many friends and artists and also meeting so many knew people. The talent that was on show and the tattoos that were created was absolutely insane, and I’m really looking forward to next year’s show already.

Big shout out to my b***y buddies at for the laughs n craic this past weekend. Never a dull moment 🤣 n was great seeing them all again.

The biggest thanks n shout out goes to who sat like an unwavering champ for three days straight to finish off the lower half of his arm. Many hours of tattooing put in over the three days n he didn’t even bat an eye lid.

We worked on completing Karl’s life and death themed sleeve we started at last year’s convention by adding Mother Nature holding a poisoned apple to represent how she can provide and destroy for the earth. Plus a decaying raven cuz who doesn’t enjoy some gnarly s**t 🤣

Time now for a wee day off to recharge the batteries and go again tomorrow 🤘🏻

Tattooed this piece a few weeks back for Connor. It’s photos taken of his grandfather when he became one of the first Air Ambulance paramedics for the Gloucestershire Air Ambulance. Loved working on such a cool personalised piece over the two days.

Something completely different for me. My first ever attempt at a colour portrait in 18 years of tattooing 🤣

I’ve been listening to Angus Young and AC⚡️DC for most of my life, so when my wee mate asked if I’d be up for doing this, I couldn’t say yes quick enough 🤣

I’m happy with how it’s turned out but a second pass on a couple of areas later on will make me happier 🤣

Think I’ll just stick to the aul black n grey, but that was a fun one for sure🤘🏻
