Hello!! My names Jay, I am a printmaker from South Wales, most of my work is tattoo inspired and done whilst listening to the most blast beats possible. #linoprint #artistsonbluesky #linocut #linogravure #handmade #tattooprint #tattooart

a picture depicting one my recent designs, a panther head drawn in American traditional style, with flowers and a border.

Picture of an anchor and rose drawn in the traditional American style, printed in black on white paper.

Picture of my Two Swallows print, which depicts two Swallows meeting mid flight with two roses accompanying them, drawn in the usual traditional tattoo style.

degenerate here, AI is killing the industry and killing the globe. please buy art from real artists... I know it's expensive but if you genuinely need some artwork, just reach out, I'm sure most artists would be happy to negotiate

A lot of my work is often based on classic flash, this was inspired by Don Nelson check his work! It's a work in progress, not keen on the central flower...

Some more birdy flash innit.
Might make this my first multi colour print... It'd look well tasty 🖤🦇 made a little kanji block too hopefully it says "junkbat" when it's printed

Prepping some sort of birdy flash sheet.. To be outlined in ink on cold press paper as my sketchbook doesn't take ink well (quality pun).

They are my absolute favourite! I'm quite lucky to live near the factory where they make it, they offer tours✌️
