For our first tattoo tutorial of 2024 we visited Simon Mora at The Other Side tattoo studio in Liverpool to find out the secrets behind his epic skull blackwork!

We followed along as Simon created this blackwork skull and bones featuring calligraffiti style details, finding out his favourite ways of working, and the products he can’t do without.

Check out the video to see this piece come together, including the secrets behind his stippling effects and the technique that he’s dubbed “whippy circles”!
