'It's my two favourite things, foraging and tattooing'

A Newcastle tattoo artist organised a guided forage around the woods, scouring high and low for inspiration for custom tattoos.

"I had the idea of combining my two favourite things, which are mycology foraging and tattooing," explained Kezz, of Cock-A-Snook Tattoos in Heaton.

The artist loves nothing more than spending some mindful time in nature, touching grass, being out and about in the fresh air.

Kezz immortalised this feeling in ink for her tribe of mushroom foragers.

Among them was Sophia Bullock who said: "From the selection that I had, Kezz put a bunch of them together, came up with a design and then I went and got it tattooed just a couple of weeks later."
