Hi, welcom to the blog. My name is Bram Adey, and I've been tattooing in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada for the last sixteen years. I make all manner of tattoos, custom or flash, often nature themed. If you'd like to explore a tattoo idea, email me at bram_adey@hotmail.com to get the ball rolling.
White Throated Sparrow tattoo - Inner-arm
Bison tattoo - Chest
Crayfish tattoo - Inner-arm
White-lined sphinx moth - Wrist
Monarch Butterfly tattoo - Stomach
Pussy-willow and pocket knife tattoo - Calf
Jack-pine tattoo - Calf

Snake and Chrysanthemum tattoo - Thigh
The Better part of the work I do is smalleer-scale one-shot tattoos that take around an hour or so, this snake and chrysanthemum tattoo is a bigger custom piece that took two, two hour sessions or so.
Sun and Moon tattoos - Inner forearm
In addition to traditional machine-made tattoos, i also work by hand relatively regularly, this sun and moon combo were made in the stick-and-poke style, a couple years apart.

Portraits of the wild things of our natural world
Our Wild World is a large set of tattoo designs I'm working on celebrating Manitoba flora/fauna/fungi. Most of the tattoos I posted above were chosen from this set of flash. Here is a little smattering of designs from the set that I haven't tattooed yet, but would love to!

Signs and Symbols
from
Around the World and Across the Ages
Signs and Symbols is a collection of amuletic tattoo designs I've collected across the last ten years or so from a huge variety of sources from ancient mesopotamia to 20th century North america.
Here are some new designs i've been working on the last couple weeks. I make these tattoos on fingers and hands in the stick and poke style (no machines), and freehand (no stencil). Drop me an email at bram_adey@hotmail.com if you'd like to have one/some of these or similar tattoos made for you.
