Tattoo Darling v.1

Valerie Vargas

The first tattoo I saw by this gorgeous artist was her flamingo lamp. I'm a total sucker for a flamingo so I checked out her blog and found these gems. She's currently working at Frith St. Tattoos in London and her waiting list is currently closed. but when it opens again the wait will be worth it!

shoulder tattoo for girl

shoulder are common locations for girl's tattoos. The lower back is especially popular for butterfly tattoos. A small foot tattoo of a flower with its stem curling around a toe is a fun idea to consider.

Life Envy

After writing about Angelique in my previous post I grabbed out my copies of Tattoo Darling and Tattoo Mystique and realised i should of posted some of the pictures of her at home and some of her collages which give me major life envy... they make me think of Paris and Toulouse Lautrec, old time sailors, carnie folk and all the things that I adore. I'm in love with the colour of her walls and the happy and quirky vibes she creates. This talented dame is definitely from another time.

All pictures scanned by me from Tattoo Darling and Tattoo Mystique.

Tattoo Darling

If you like tattoos or lowbrow art you will know Angelique Houtkamp. She is a dutch artist how puts her own feminine spin on traditional tattoo designs. Her work shows dreamy and whimsical characters: saucy pin ups, strong boxing women, sailors, ships and carnival folk. All done displaying the right amount of nostalgia that I adore making her one of my favourite artists.She is also a tattoo artist, she creates the cutest range of baby painted skulls, has release two books: Tattoo Darling and Tattoo Mystique, designs handbags and she has worked as a makeup artist, dress maker, bar tender, sex shop admin girl and owned her own jewellery company. She's my kind of girl.

I attended the Angelique Houtkamp & Tattoo Group Exhibition in October 2009 which was fantastic! I woke up today to find a picture of myself and Dave at the show. I had been wondering where that was going to end up.. turns out it was used on the outre galleries facebook. I bought a Sailor Sweetheart print that night which I adore, she goes so well with the Sapphira print I bought Dave for his birthday last year.

Hi guys,

Remember how i said i was thinking about making t-shirts?
I've decided I will be making three different ones, two will be print t-shirts and the other one will be a shredded t-shirt.
Here is a sneak peak of what the shredded one will look like. It will be available in white with a narrow shred, and black with a wide shred.

This is the perfect way to show off those back tattoos stylishly ;)
