Updates - Official Start of " Den Mørke Skogen " 's risin' !

Hey there !

It's been some time since last update but here on Den Mørke Skogen i've been really busy both on buildin' up some new decoration but also practising with my new equipment and working officially as a tattoo artist :)

Upper right : a new board where people can leave notes of their experience here , lower left : my chest x-ray :p ( lol ) , lower right : a piece i took as a gift from Africa 

To begin with , i got my equipment around 3 weeks after ordering it ( it was okei - considering that sometimes simple letters take a month or so , to arrive ! )

It was all fine , and i had really much fun connecting the pieces and figuring out how it works and all that stuff !

After that i practiced on fake sheep - skin to find out how the whole thing goes and i was impressed because it felt really fine like i was doing it for a long time . So i started tattooing my first customers :)



I am really willing to work hard to improve myself more and more as time passes by and there isn't any bigger satisfaction of watching my customers happy , loving their new permanent piece on their bodies :') .

Some fun during midnight ink with some awesome girls :) 

I also got one more ink piece on my arm by a real-life-miracle tattoo artist and i am EXTREMELY happy with it ( this is the first session- shading and some colouring will follow ) . It was something like celebrating the start of my new route on tattoo artwork as an artist this time :)

It's a super duper kitty skull with tones of floral decoration ! Meow !

I've been working on some sketches too :) This one is my favourite - Honour to egyptian mythology

My first scarab :)

A complex of mjolnir , viking spirit , crows and runes ! Inspired of my own half sleeve piece ! I love Scandinavian mythology as well :3

Now more and more updates will follow with new sketches and pictures of my work on inking :)

I don't know how often will i post articles since it's not so smart to post one picture it's time so i will make some compilations on each post here :)

You can view more daily updates by following/adding me on social media :3

For anything you want to ask/share with me or for requests upon custom designs and ink appointments don't hesitate to contact me as well !

Stay tuned !

Love ,

Irinä

Making of

Hey there !

A sneak peak of our place

Here we are back with some updates . All this time I've been sketching , and self educating myself through researching more and more around tattoo art , history , techniques , safety and much more .

Second sample of our place - I love peacocks and Metal \m/

It's been a month of never ending excitement and really soon i'm finally having my equipment right here ready to practice a lot and share with you my progress . :

Up to now here are some more sketches to give you a taste of my personal style and progress :
(everything is completely freehand , no rulers , no stencils)

Jigsaw wants to play a game

kitty skull - 1st attempt ever

Devil goat skull- also 1st attempt

A requested pattern for a musician friend

A crying mask - one of my favourite sketches so far

Neotraditional freehand A4 full detailed Owl 

Owls , feathers and letters , Wisdom theme

One of my very favourites back in time - created it a year ago but i like it since it is a multi-scientific pattern combining a lot of things.

Human skull

Some logos/text/symbols too :

Soon more sketches will be posted such as photo and text material presenting my progress . For booking details , requests of pattern custom editing and such information feel free to contact me using the information below . I remind that i am placed in Greece and Norway and for other locations an appointment should be booked at least a month in advance - after discussion .

Thank you for visiting my page and supporting my work .
Love ,
Irinä
