Pigeoncore update: went into a cute yarn store and found the perfect pigeon yarn. very excited about it and I have a *vision*

Jo @jojotattoos.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Can’t stop thinking about the concept of pigeoncore and how cute a pigeon themed outfit would be so I drew pigeons #tattoosky #illustration #pigeons #artsky

-just a small health/nhs vent into the void- i *finally* have been seen by a gynaecologist after over a year on the waitlist (and two years fighting to get on it) and she was so belittling it’s made me scared that when i get my surgery they’ll tell me i actually made everything up.

One of my favorites from Spring 🖤

Pale green Physcia lichen with white apothecias. Smoked oysterlings

Anyone got some weirdlit recommendations? This week I read Monstrilio, The Eyes are the Best Part, and Chlorine and adored them! Also Tampa which I wasn’t such a fan of. #booksky

There is free application called Calibre that you can also remove DRM with! (Which means you can read your kindle books via non Amazon devices). It’s really easy to do!

More lil sketchbook shrooms :) #fungifriends #tattoosky #illustration

Jo @jojotattoos.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

Some more #fungifriends from today in pencil :) Saffron Milkcaps, Lilac Fibercaps, Blue Roundhead, and Devil’s Bolete. Slowly getting through this art block. #mushrooms #illustration #artblock

Just some quick tiny shroom sketches to get out of this slump… maybe it’s working? #fungifriends #artblock #illustration

Another Ghibli piece because I’ll never ever get tired of doing them! Laputa was the first Ghibli movie I ever watched and I fell in love :) #tattoosky #studioghibli #anime #illustration #tattooartist

Jo @jojotattoos.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

Is there a word for this experience as an artist? It’s not artist’s block exactly, but I have zero motivation to use my usual mediums and only want to experiment with new crafts the last few months. I wouldn’t mind, but drawing is my job, so I kind of have to do it. Any tips? #artsky #illustration

My pants tore so I sewed them up using fishbone stitch and added this cute chicken patch, and now my pants have at least 20% more whimsy and fun :)) #visiblemending #diy #sewing #chickens

Patch is by @thechatterpie on insta!

Jumper update- probably 10-15 hours in and it’s going so well! My stitches and tension are way more uniform than first jumper already, and there’s only one weird hole so far 🥳 #beginnerknitting #fiberart #knitting

Jo @jojotattoos.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

Meanwhile here’s a slightly swollen, angry magic key I made :)) #neotraditional #witchsky #magic #illustration

Instagram stresses me out so much 🥲 I’m still gotta post there because literally all my work comes through it, but it’s taken me all week to get over the anxiety and actually post something and I can’t even explain why

I finished Starve Acre by Andrew Michael Hurley the other day and it was brilliant! An evocative, creeping folk horror about loss and grief. This is gently paced and more focused on the atmosphere of slow dread than a tight plot. It ended full of mystery and I can’t stop thinking about it. #booksky

It’s about a couple who move to their family home in the Yorkshire countryside, and not long afterward, their son dies. They handle their grief in different ways- the mother withdraws and seeks solace in a seance with interesting consequences, and the father looks for meaning in the history of their property, and the strange things he uncovers.

How beautiful are these meadow waxcaps I found in October? I was so happy this day! The last one is I believe a Rosecomb mutation, and it’s gorgeous :) #fungifriends #waxcaps #mushrooms #foraging

Made a start on my second ever jumper last night! Hoping I’m able to make this one with less mistakes- it’s the same pattern so fingers crossed! #knitting #fiberart #beginnerknitter

The yarn is a bit more lavender in real life!

Fully healed fox for one of my loveliest clients! #foxes #tattoosky #artnouveau #illustration

A large, colour tattoo taking up the majority of the client’s calf. It depicts a brightly coloured fox, surrounded by periwinkle flowers and leaves that form ornamental shapes, and a star.

Mycena haematopus, commonly known as the bleeding fairy helmet is a widespread #mushroom On young specimens it bleeds purplish-red when broken. The bleeding occurs from the base of the stem when the tissue is cut or damaged. So unique and beautiful! ❤️ #forestfloor #fungifriends #photography #nature

WIP on this Studio Ghibli sleeve! It’s such a dream project to be working on. We’ve actually completed this section now but I need to get better photos :) #studioghibli #totoro #tattoosky #illustration #tattoos

Photo of an unfinished tattoo taking up the inner forearm. The tattoo is of a sleeping Totoro surrounded by forest, catbus, and soot sprites. Only the forest is coloured and the rest is outlines so far.

This kintsugi inspired scar coverup is still one of the most special pieces I’ve been asked to do 💕 #kintsugi #pottery #tattoo #illustration

The photo is of a large tattoo on a thigh. It features pottery pieces with bright blue motifs, with gold veins running between them like Japanese Kintsugi. The tattoo is over healed scars and some of the scars have been tattooed gold.

Scarlet elf cup fungus on a lil winter walk the other day! It has super red spores meaning you can use it as a natural blush if you want- seems I can’t add the video of me doing so, so here’s a photo of me and my mushroom blush, haha #fungi #foraging #funguslove

Scarlet elf cup fungus! They are bright orange/red, and the visible part is hollow and cup shaped. They fruit on dead wood, like this one- so are usually easy to find in the winter on the ground amongst moss.

Silly photo of me smiling, with rosy cheeks from the elf cups! Also featuring my first knit project- the #balabonnet by Simstrikk (although it being my first, I’m not sure how well I followed the pattern and mine came out a bit different)

Jo @jojotattoos.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Finished knitting my first ever jumper! There’s a lot of holes and mistakes, but I’m really proud ☺️ #knitting #fiberarts #slowfashion

A person with long hair and a long brown skirt is taking a photo in the mirror, wearing a muted orange knit jumper. The jumper has ribbing from the bust to waist, and cropped sleeves.
