The last time you posted I didn’t have any tattoos! I have five now haha
Excited to have you back :))

[@HollyAstralTattoo]

That rad!!! Good for you

[@horsegirlheresy6195]

Ok we need a room tour your house looks so cozy 🤩

I thought I wouldn't been the type of client that would always want an original art, but, after my first tattoo I realize that being creative even if you dont feel like is something not up to our control.
all the tattoos photos I've saved in past serve up to nothing now, I just want to create with the tattoo artist and tattoo on my skin already.
❤❤ your channel is amazing

To turn off your notifications, go to settings and there should be a notifications tab. Click it, and scroll down to the app that you want to turn notifications off for. Switch notifications off for that app. Or if you don’t have a notifications tab in settings, there should be a list of your apps in settings where you can select certain apps and change their settings, where you could turn off notifications. And if not, go into the app specifically and click the little settings gear, which should have an option to turn off notifications. :) Glad you’re back! ❤️

Watching this video gave me such feeeeeeels. I remember watching your videos before I even stepped foot into a shop, and now I am two years into tattooing. Crazy how things change in such short time. Thank you for providing such valuable and interesting content. Your apprenticeship video helped me most, especially when I really started to feel the overwhelming pressures of learning the craft. Keep killin' it, Holly!

So excited to have you back :D hugs from Sweden!

[@AlexasArtRoom]

I just started watching your channel. I really appreciate your videos! Very encouraging!

[@ZenaraX]

For the notifications it depends what kind of phone you have, but try going to settings and then see if anything mentions notifications and gives you options to turn them off for certain apps
Glad you're back making videos :)

[@MariaGirones]

Holly just turn off the pop up notifications in all apps. You have to remember to check WhatsApp, but I think it's better.
Also, great video. Missed you over here. You're always so insightful in your videos.

[@tattoodragun]

holly i admire you so much, what advice in starter tools would you share to novice artists like myself, such as the best sketchbooks, drawing tools, ink, and how do we find our style in tattoo art. Also, the best-designed equipment to find for certain aesthetics.

[@bj20715]

While I do follow you on Instagram, it's still lovely to see you back on RUclips! Welcome back!

[@breakawayfromme]

Adore your t-shirt

[@gemmastone14]

Yay Holly so glad to see you back to keep us company ✨🌷❤️

[@johnlewis1078]

Hooray! Glad to see you again, Ms Holly. I really wanted to see your tattoo studio last year when I was in London, but I ran out of time. Hopefully this year I can go by and take a look and your wonderful studio. Take care, be safe, and enjoy life.

[@lesanimaux4416]

Hi Holly! So good to see you on RUclips again! I hope to catch you on a convention again in the future, I think my Mystic Josh is in need of a buddy 🐸❤

[@SweetSurrenderArts]

If you have I-phone you can go to your notifications and go to the apps you use like Facebook and Instagram and turn off notifications.i have had to do that as well to get work done

[@val4751]

Glad to see you again!!

[@HollyAstralTattoo]

Happy to be back 🤗

[@ValShinnArt]

I love your artwork ❤❤ if I'm ever in the UK I would LOVE to get work done by you ❤❤😍. It's my goal to become a tattoo artist. I've been trying to create more pieces I can put in a portfolio, but it's been hard working on art with the virus and everything going on. It was my goal to work on art while I work at a part time job so eventually I could find an apprenticeship but unfortunately I lost my job because I was a server and dine in restaurants are all closed now where I live so it makes it tougher to get by. Tattoo shops are closed aswell, which makes the idea of becoming a tattoo artist seem pretty daunting right now :/ I'm hoping things get better. I love your artwork and your videos ❤❤ You are an inspiration to me.

[@sillybean32]

Thank you.

[@NoukSilver]

Hello Holly, good to see you again! You look well. :)
I can relate a lot to the part about artistic types and mental health. Things can get overwhelming. I've realised that that's why I always do my best work at night, when the world is quiet.
How are you coping with the quarantine right now?

[@belette2342]

tip for your phone : the app called "freedom" ;)

Hi Holly, looking into getting a tattoo but my parent has a dvt and I’ve been told it hereditary. Would this cause an issue for me continuing with getting the tattoo ?

What happened to your dreds?
