The fabulous Mo Deeley. Superstar.

I met the amazing Mo Deeley, from Maltby, Rotherham, at the London Tattoo Convention last year. I fell in love with her. Her attitude, her looks, her gorgeous tattoos. I knew we had to do a shoot with her for Things & Ink and find out her story.

She was a star on shoot day. It was freezing cold in the north of England, but her positive attitude and can-do spirit never faltered.

Here’s some behind the scenes snaps from the shoot by the talented Heather Shuker. Mo even whipped out a tattoo she had done of the launch issue cover. Wow, now that’s dedication to the love of Things & Ink. What a woman.

Read her full interview and take a look at the fabulous pictures in The Face Issue. You can buy from the website thingsandink.com and check out a full list of stockists.

Yay Lauren Winzer’s got her things&ink

I absolutely loved featuring the work of Lauren Winzer in issue 2. And after weeks of waiting, she has finally received her copy of the magazine…yay. I am pleased to say she loves it and I really hope either I can go visit her soon in Australia or she comes to do a guest spot in the UK. Not only would I love to get tattooed by her, but I would love to do a bigger feature on her – I adore her style. She ROCKS, she is such a Things & Ink girl 🙂
