Monarch Butterfly tattoo - Inner-forearm
Hi, welcome to the blog, My name is Bram, and I've been tattooing in Winnipeg since 2010. I make black and grey tattoos, often nature-based, in a traditionally inspired, naturalistic style. If you'd like to get tattooed, you can email me at bram_adey@hotmail.com
I make primarily custom tattoos, but am also always creating new tattoo flash designs, available to be tattooed any time. Right now i'm in the middle of designing a large set of manitoba nature-inspired tattoo flash designs called "Our Wild World", as well as having a more random assortment of available designs.
In addition to more traditional machine-made tattoos, I also do stick and poke tattoos of iconographic symbols based on pictographic languages and other systems of symbols, collected across the years of my career as an artist. You can see my set of signs and symbols here:
Without further adieu, here aer some new tattoos I've made across the last month or so.

This pair of designs was inspired by the little red squirrels darting across the path as I have been jogging along. I think this long red squirrel design would make a great little chest/collarbone kind of tattoo, then came the idea of the more diamond shaped one for a centre-chest/sternum kind of design.
I've been meaning for ages to dig into this book "Lore and Lure of Outer Space", and finally did it, took some time to make notes from it about the days of the week/planets and the Zodiac. I've added the designs to my "Signs and Symbols" collection, intended as stick and poke tattoos, mainly for fingers and the like...
Super cool, I definitely am glad to have held onto lore and lure for all these years.
It's literally getting so crazy...
Ye olde work space
I'm kinda trying to make the most of the end of the warm season, getting out and photographing nautre and going for nice comfortable runs before it gets gnarly out for a few months....
Thanks so much for checking out the work, like I mentioned earlier, if you'd like to come get tattooed by me, or set up a consultaiton to discuss your ideas, email me at bram_adey@hotmail.com or stop by the studio:
