The Painted Lady: The art of tattooing the female body

Product Information

After you have been tattooed, it will be wrapped in cling film which needs to be left on for a few hours, or until you are home from your appointment. If you are on blood thinners, have any medical conditions or are due to have an operation in the very near future, please ensure you tell your artist before you book a tattoo appointment, as this could mean you may not be able to get tattooed. If you have any reference images you have found whilst looking for your next tattoo, please send them over as they are super helpful when designing your tattoo.

My name is Amy Dowell, but professionally have become known as 'the Painted Lady'. I get a lot of questions/assumptions about where this name derived from, so here is the story: A wide range of foodplants may be used with thistles ( Cirsium spp . and Carduus spp .) being preferred in Britain and Ireland. Mallows ( Malva spp.), Common Nettle ( Urtica dioica), Viper's-bugloss ( Echium vulgare), and various cultivated plants also have been recorded as larval foodplants here. Lifecycle We are a custom studio so our artists will design something unique for you based on your ideas and references. There are a lot of aftercare creams available, but we recommend Stories & Ink, Hustle Butter, Ink X or Cocoa Butter. Your artists will go through this with you at the end of your tattoo session, but if you have any further questions get in touch.

This common and widespread migrant likes dry open areas but can be seen anywhere in a good year. Distribution

Each year, it spreads northwards from the desert fringes of North Africa, the Middle East, and central Asia, recolonising mainland Europe and reaching Britain and Ireland. In some years it is an abundant butterfly, frequenting gardens and other flowery places in late summer. Size and Family Try and get a good nights sleep the night before your appointment and we never recommend getting tattooed if you are hungover. We can’t tattoo you if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Will it hurt? Yes, but it is bearable! If you ever need to stop or have a break, just tell your artist who will be more than happy to ensure you are okay and take a breather so that you feel at ease and comfortable during your time at the studio. When i'm not tattooing, my life is my family, and my time with them is the most precious thing i have.Prior to beginning my career in tattooing, i was a professional freelance artist, specializing in classical drawing and painting. I graduated from the University of Wyoming with my Bachelor's degree in art, and an expansive tattoo collection to boot. So you can say art and tattoos have been a big part of my life for quite some time. To book you in, we need to know what you would like to get tattooed, where you’d like to get the tattoo and how big you’d like the tattoo in cm/inches or a photo of the placement. I absolutely love what i do and the people I get to work with. I want everyone that walks through the door, to end up with a tattoo that far surpasses their expectations, but also have more fun at their session than they thought possible. I'm there to be your artist, your advocate, your support system and who knows, maybe even your new favorite sit down comedian.
