Mid April - Early may 2025 - Tattoos and lots of birds...

 

Hi, welcome to the blog.  Thanks for stopping by!
Email me at bram_adey@hotmail.com for bookings.


I don't tire of making chest pieces like this.  I love these small-but-full sort of chest tattoos.  It feels in keeping with traditional western tattooing, to do a simple, one-session chest-piece.  I think it's perfect, not too big, but big enough to fill the space in an elegant way.

A little snake tattoo from a few years back.

I'm really happy with this Arctic Tern Tattoo that an old friend asked for, Stark and Simple.

This client wanted to add to their back tattoo with something a little more dynamic.

They wanted to make something big and were also happy to have some big open spaces. 

I love the way the composition turned out and the calm and curious energy between the Robin and the Butterfly.  The bumblebee was a last minute addition, but I think it works well. 

This one felt so of-the-moment.  Maple leaf tattoos for everyone!  They just emailed having seen a similar tattoo I made some years back on a friend and wanted to explore the theme, I was happy to oblige.  

Wild Roses

I have had occasion to explore this kind of placement a couple times recently, the other one isn't complete, but I think this is a really nice play on the arch over and under the knee sorts of placements we've seen a lot of these last few years. 

Like I mentioned earlier, Email me at bram_adey@hotmail.com for booking information.
You can find me at my studio, Ritual Winnipeg, Tuesday-Friday 10am-6pm.

My love brough home some pussy willows, I love that.

I love any time I get to draw local plants and animals from life.  It's so revealing about the energy of the thing.  This part of the year is just starting, as the flowers bloom, i always get out to draw the wild roses, peonies, lilies and whatever else is blooming in the neighbourhood. 

Coffee... what can be said...

Spring coat weather seems to have come and gone already!


And with the Spring coat, it's off to Garbage Hill for me.  Incoming Blackbird photos...


The homie - Red Winged Blackbird

Not sure about this one?  King bird?

Not sure about this one either, help?

Bald Eagull


And Meanwhile, in the West-End:
I loved seeing the starlings through the winter

And a friend told me about how these are Juncos, and they're a sure sign of Spring.

A lion.

Little Downy Woodpecker.  Woodpeckers are kinda hard to photograph... 

A young raven maybe?

Actually one of my favourite photos I've shot in a while, I love Grackles, that eye....

The scrappiest little squirrel at Garbage hill.

I don't photograph dead stuff too often these days, but this is a Raven I saw...


I'm happy with this pretty pair of photos of this Robin, nothing too special, but crispy in the morning light.









Thanks again for looking, 'till next time.

Early March 2025 - Tattoos, The studio, some photographs, old and new.

Thanks for stopping by the blog, here are a few new tattoos, a couple shots around the studio, and some photos old and new.  As always, email bram_adey@hotmail.com for tattoos, my books are always open.

Every time I see this tattoo I photograph it and post it, it will always be that way!  Snake and Chrysanthemum tattoo chosen from my book of flash.

Another tattoo from my book of available designs, Leopard frog.

A funny custom critter for an old client, cool little winged insect tattoo...

A playful geometric tattoo, they sent me some reference photos of tattoos they liked, and I played around, I was thinking of travel and the passing of time.  I'm happy with how it turned out.

A classic spider-web elbow tattoo.

I've made a bunch of chest tattoos lately, Here's a nice detail of a bell-flower chest-piece I made last week.

I love doing these tattoos of the regular solids, or the Archimedean solids blended with natural elements, snakes, flowers, insects, things like that.  Definitely email me if you're wanting something like this. 

Another snake tattoo that I will always photograph and post every time I see it!  Bless all you wonderful clients!

This is like: the critters post!  I love tattooing scientists, I never would've guessed when I was young that I would be tattooing so many super interesting professionals when I was older.  Definitely one of the dopest things about tattooing is getting to meet and hang out with so many interesting individuals... 

The Dream Team right now:
Mitsubishi Vermillian/Prussion Blue 2667
Mitsubishi 9800EW
Tombow 2558
Copic 0.35

I was looking through some old film photos and found this little gem from the Rebel Waltz days.

Like I mentioned earlier, email me at bram_adey@hotmail.com for bookings.


You can find me at my tattoo studio, Ritual Winnipeg, in Winnipeg's Exchange District, Tuesday-Friday, 10am - 6pm.

My apprentice Myes has been putting on her first tattoos the last couple weeks.  I'm super proud of you Myes, you're doing great!

Myes's flash.

The Team in action!

I had a beard...

...then I shaved!

A sneaky little photo of Alyssa and Ruth.

The Cowboy at work.  I've been feeling mushy lately as the shop grows and evolves, about Ky and Holly and how special it was when we started.  They really had my back and went in 100% on Ritual when it was just a dream.  I love and appreciate you both so much.

You can see the shop on instagram, our handle is @ritual_winnipeg
There are seven of us tattooing out of the studio, and guests coming through regularily, so check it out!

Here are some photographs from around my non-work life:

An eagle over the West-End

Cheeky little squirrel through the dining room window.  Oh!  I saw a little hawk out this window this week, auspicious!

I love everything about this tree.



Twilight on Ellice





Winnipeggers will know this is an image of hope!








The following are a few film photos I dug up... 

Lake Winnipeg that one yeah it froze then dropped a bunch... 

Spruce woods with the little cuties!
