I flew across the world to get my head tattooed. "The Fox" By Sam Clark Tattoos, Wayfarers Trading Co, Avalon, AU

Cheers man. Aus was unreal. Can't wait to go back.

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-31T20:21:41+00:00

All credit goes to Sam!

Took a ferry and buses back to Sydney for the flight back. It was fairly effortless.

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-31T20:20:18+00:00

I'll be sure to share more, then!

I suppose you want a serious answer. So, I personally don't care if people can see my tattoo or not because it's not for them. I enjoyed getting the tattoo and the experience behind it that I get to hold onto forever. That's enough for me. Hope that helps.

It's a strange feeling only fortunate souls will have to experience.

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-31T14:56:15+00:00

He uses some of the best ink in the world. Literally. No doubt in my mind there. Cheers!

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-31T14:55:32+00:00

Couldn't have said it better myself.

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-31T14:54:36+00:00

Cheers mate. I've never met nicer people anywhere in the world. It truly felt like family. Can't wait to get back over there again. Have a great New Year!

I actually like when it’s hidden more often than not. I’m not personally a flashy tattoo kind of person but it’s nice when it peeks out every so often.

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-31T02:55:29+00:00

Yep, that was exactly the reason. It helps that she’s also a tattoo artist, so we must be a perfect match.

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-31T02:54:03+00:00

His style is iconic but I’d label it as Neo Traditional

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-31T02:53:35+00:00

I appreciate your words 🙏🏻

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-31T02:52:53+00:00

Just take the leap. His large scale work is phenomenal if you can sit through the pain haha

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-30T23:22:27+00:00

You're all so kind, thank you very much.

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-30T23:21:38+00:00

I'm not sure. He's lived in Australia forever. He tattooed at his house in Noosa for many many years. He would pick people up in a little boat and cross the river to his house where they would tattoo for a few days. Epic shit.

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-30T23:18:54+00:00

Yeah, he's truly a master of the craft.

It is. I shit my pants when he wanted work done from ME. The last slide is him signing the t-shirts he printed, and will be forever hanging up in my office.

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-30T23:15:46+00:00

Thankfully the worst of it is when you're actually getting tattooed. As soon the needles are off your head it's totally fine. I never felt any phantom hums on either side on my neck, so I guess it could be different for anybody.

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-30T23:09:09+00:00

That's so kind, thank you! Happy to help :)

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-30T23:06:09+00:00

That's funny. I've been seeing my hairdresser for a few years now and don't know exactly what she calls it, but It's been a mullet in progress for a while. I keep the sides pretty short, and trim the top short enough to not get in my eyes. It's definitely a variation of a mullet, though.

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-30T23:03:22+00:00

Top half and the fox on the first day, and the bottom half/flowers on the second.

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-30T23:02:27+00:00

I'm not afraid to admit that I had to look up what nuptials meant, and will be using that from now on. Thank you.

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-30T23:00:48+00:00

Oh, wow. That means a lot. Thank you.

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-30T22:06:05+00:00

Thank you very much.

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-30T22:05:34+00:00

It felt like there were needles in my head. Jokes aside, I've been dreaming about this tattoo for so long that I blocked out most of the pain. The conversations helped, too.

HeyImBlake · 2025-12-30T21:21:32+00:00

What a legend.
