Well, I'll get straight to the point as there's no easy way of saying this...
I wont be tattooing for at least the first half of this year.
The desicion mainly resides with ongoing health issues, but having had my website hacked and domain stolen at the end of last year and the ballache admin involved, all the Covid malarky with lots of rescheduling/admin, and then... of all things... breaking a few ribs a couple of weeks ago have all contributed to me needing to retreat, regroup, reassess and rejuvinate before I can reapply for 2022!
I'll be honest and say I have no idea when I will be returning to the tattoo work, it's likely to be about 6 months, but, I cannot yet guarantee a return date, so I will supply an update for around May time as to where I'm ats. That sadly means I have decided to reliquish my little tatto spot with the fabulous team at Strangeways Tattoo Studio (for the time being!)... no point in me stealing prime tattoo real estate if I'm never there - working with Sadee and Fhez has been AWESOME so please do hit them up if you got a tattoo scratch that needs itching - they got some pretty spectacular guest artists joining them this year, and new local resident artists... so keep an eye out for them and say hello xx
A NEW WEBSITE AND EMAIL ADDRESS: Alas, the website www.nicolaking.com was hacked at the end of last year and unretrievable including all associated email accounts associated with that address. Well, tell a lie, it is retrievable if I wanna pay $20,000 to have it back (w*****s)
Therefore both:
www.nicolaking.com hello@nicolaking.com are NO LONGER IN USE New website address: www.nicolakingart.co.uk New email address: hello@nicolakingart.co.uk NEW ART SECTION: So, for those of you with beady little eyes will have noticed the little word 'art' has attached itself to my new domain and email address.... and yes, that does mean there will be some more 'art' from me for this year, hoorah! Whilst taking a break from the tattooing I wont be all naval gazing or lolling about on the sofa with the Buds all day (ok, some days I might do) but I will be getting my industrious hands wet (with paint!) and seeing what marvels (or not) I can create for this year. I have no idea what I'm doing, or how to do it... so I'm just doing, and gonna see what happens from there. I will be adding some Blog stories about this new venture, and you can also follow my bits of progress on my new Instagram: @nicolalaaland
(I've temporarily closed the tattoo one so I don't get hassled with tattoo requests!) This also means... lot's of new artwork... and what to do with all this new art work?!?!
SELL IT!!
Very soon there will be a sparkly new ART Section on this webiste showcasing all of my latest work, the newest Collections, ART Drops and SHOP! I will be selling ORGINALS, PRINTS and other nic-nacky stuffs (see what I did there!) so... to be sure you don't miss out, I have set up a MAILING LIST (I know, I know, I have sold my soul to the sales world!) If you wish to be the first to know about the latest available artworks and art drops - before Instagram - then please do subscribe to my mailing list, and I promise I wont badger you with stoopid salesy stuff - just aweseome artworks!
....hmmm.... I dont wanna pay extra in adding a mailing list widget here, so go to my homepage and the box to subscribe is there.... go on, it's only a little bit of effort (cheesy grin, winky face) xx
And that's all for now my little squirrels of delights xx
oh... and here's Buds being cute... and a little tease on some of the artwork in progress!
