She gains inspiration from vintage florals and Art Nouveau. Charlie enjoys playing with contrasting concepts to create bold yet delicate designs much like these brilliant sneakers.
Baggins Original Hi Top Tattoo Zoo Kara Harrison Rainbow Mosquito in Amber
These colourful sneakers were designed by the brilliant Kara Harrison. Kara is a tattoo artist and illustrator based in Nanaimo who does regular guest visits at Tattoo Zoo. This artwork is inspired by the classic mosquito in amber from the Jurassic Park franchise which is a recurring theme in Kara’s work. Most of her designs include glitter and rainbows and are inspired by her love of dinosaurs.
Baggins Original Low Top Tattoo Zoo Geri Kramer Ferns N’ Shrooms
These black and white beauties were designed by fabulous trans artist Geri Kramer. Geri’s creative process marries her love of traditional tattooing’s bold lines and simplicity with the textures and fine lines usually associated with more illustrative work. It’s undeniable that she has become a positive force in the tattoo world as she strives to create a more inclusive space for both tattooers and clients alike.
Baggins Original Hi Top Tattoo Zoo Emma Wetherill Eggmotional
These eggcelent sneakers were designed by the wonderful Emma Wetherill. She is inspired by the movement of shapes and nature, and the imagination. The artwork of these sneakers stands as a symbol for mental health. The outside panel depicts the egg as joyful, while on the inside panel the egg is squished and glum. Just like many of us hide our dejected parts and put on a smile to appease the outside world. The tongue panel egg sticks its tongue out as a humourous balance between the internal and external moods of the egg.
