Hot tattoo and jewellery coupling for Diamond Jubilee

Diamond Jubilee Collection

Independent craftswoman Pip Jolley and tattoo artist Tracy Demetriou have joined creative forces to create a timeless tribute to her Majesty for the Diamond Jubilee.

“One of Tracy’s flash pieces was of the Queen and it just hit me that we needed to do something for the Jubilee. We wanted to make a piece that was beautiful and reflected both of our work,” says Pip.

Relocating from South Africa to the United Kingdom, London-based tattooist Tracy Demetriou has worked as a receptionist at at the Family Business studio, and then honed her craft at Haunted Tattoos and King’s Cross Tattoo Parlour. “I love the idea of the Queen,” she says. “It seems so exotic to me, coming to a country with a monarch where there is so much history and still having a Queen in this day and age.”

For Tracy the project, which will be released in two sets, a high-end diamond detailed gold collection (£400-£500) and a more moderately-priced silver and gold plate collection (£50-£100), also took on a personal quality: “I have just become a British citizen so it’s a little celebration for me too! Pip and I met up in January and brainstormed what type of jewellery we wanted to do and, of course, with it being the Diamond Jubilee it seemed appropriate to use diamonds so we decided to create a fine gold jewellery project as opposed to a cheaper, costume jewellery option.”

Pip’s delicate accessories marry perfectly with Tracy’s bold take on traditional tattoo flash, presented in red velvet boxes with accompanying limited edition art prints, serving as the perfect luxurious celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

On sale until the end of the Jubilee year and the duo are currently in talks with stockists at major department stores. Visit Pip’s website for more info, pipjolley.com.

  1. The laser armpit hair removal works better if you allow the hairs to grow 2 weeks previous to the laser treatment.
    Strands of hair grow on chest, navel, under arm, forearms,
    legs, and even on faces such as on the chin, upper and lower lip.
    Following the treatment, be prepared to sense
    a couple of common discomforts like redness, swelling,
    and itching. Laser hair removal works by applying a
    laser beam that produces energy that is absorbed by the dark pigments within the
    hair follicle. Anytime there is an inflammatory stimulus, melanocytes might be triggered
    to produce extra melanin as part of the healing process.
