Found this little gem in a sketchbook from ages ago. It was a tattoo design for @lordclaude I really enjoyed that project. https://www.instagram.com/p/CPPQfCyhlXx/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fun little mushrooms and snail friend done @wolfandwrentattoo I used to keep birdcages full of snails friends as a kid. Strange pet option, but I am still very fond of snails... . . . #snail #snailtattoo #mushrooms #mushroomtattoo #blackwork #blacktattoo #blacktattoos #naturetattoo #adelaidetattoo #adelaidetattooer #nickasserpentarius https://www.instagram.com/p/BtzU1jplC4I/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4a7p4nfkwnen

This one was a bit of a blast from the past! This one I tattooed on the lovely Frankie @cut.throat.visual.artist is actually and old image I drew in a sketch book probably half a decade ago. I used to draw a lot of goddesses back in the day. I kind of miss it. Would you guys like to see some new goddess designs? . . . #nickasserpentarius #blackwork #blacktattoo #blackworkers #blacktattooart #goddess #godesstattoo #finetattoo https://www.instagram.com/p/BsweGkzFm3m/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gjs10h6xzf0c

Thankyou so much Loretta for coming and getting this little tribute to the Lady in the Lake. I do love me some Aurthurian myths and legends. I am sooooo happy with how the placement flows with form on this one.

I’m not really one for posting pictures of myself but @angeliquejoy.creative and I have been having fun playing around with some ideas. She has been graciously helping me to create some photos that I would be proud to hang on my walls. I never was really the studio 2000 type. Her work is amazing. You should definitely go check it out . . . #photography #witch #puppet #creepy #learningtogetoutofmyownway https://www.instagram.com/p/Br5OlcEl6Rv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m1bj3hkr6nvi

Got to make a start on this Norse God’s themed sleeve the other day. Sooo stoked for this Odin, the All Father, sitting on his throne with Geri and Freki at his feet and Huginn and Muninn whispering their secrets in his hears. Odin would send them out to fly over Midgaard during the day and collect intel. They were known as ‘thought’ and ‘memory’ and thinking on what this means on a metaphysical level is very interesting to me. . . . #pantheon #norsegods #norsetattoo #mythology #mythologicaltattoo #mythologytattoo #tattoo #blacktattoo #odin #odintattoo #huginn #muninn #huginnandmuninn #geriandfreki #folklore #metaphysics #adelaidetattoo #australiantattoo #adelaidetattooartist #australiantattooartist #nickasserpentarius #blackwork #finearttattoo #etchingtattoo #crosshatchingtattoo https://www.instagram.com/p/BrRT9UcFPaZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=43yps8cesf1m

This has quite possibly been my most favourite tattoo project to date. A lady Sphinx on the most excellent human @lordclaude. I nerd our so hard on folklore, mythology, occult, or anything of antiquity. I love pieces with lots of narrative or high symbolic content. When I open up my books again sometime next year, these are the kind of projects that will get preference, so if you have any epic tattoo projects that you have been brewing for a while, feel free to drop me an email at [email protected]. Gimme a full description and I can add you to the list for once books re open ✌️ Done @wolfandwrentattoo . . . #nickasserpentarius #folkmagic #classicalgreeksculpture #tattoomagic #tattoosnob#mythology #folklore #blackwork #sphinx #boobies #classyartboob#australiantattooartist#adelaidetattoo #australiantattoo #australiantattooartist #etchingtattoo #finearttattoo #finelinetattoo #tttism #tattoo #blacktattoo https://www.instagram.com/p/BrH9wwhFBH4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x89l0gyg8qts
