Welcome to another edition of Tattoo Tuesday – featuring inspiration and pictures of AMAZING tattoos every week! This week it is my pleasure to introduce Leah of Leah Spicer Creative to Marry Me Ink with her Watership Down tattoo on the back of her neck!
Leah’s “Black Rabbit of Inlé”
“I got this tattoo last year. I’d been wanting a tattoo on the back of my neck for quite some time, but wanted to choose something that was special to me, and meant something. I also only have black tattoos so it needed to be something that would work well in black and white.
After rewatching Watership Down for the first time in around 10 years I was reminded of how much I loved the film, and it bought back so many memories and I felt such nostalgia whilst watching it. The black rabbit of Inlé appears in rabbit folklore in the film, and is the rabbit equivalent of the grim reaper. When I saw the image of the ghostly black rabbit floating across the screen I knew it would make a perfect tattoo! Despite being a little scary and a LOT sad, Watership Down was one of my favourite films as a child and I also loved the book, which along with Call of the Wild and The Wind in the Willows was one of the many books leant to me by my Grandad so it is really special to me.”
What a great story! Don’t forget to email in you tattoo stories to marrymeink@gmail.com to be part of Tattoo Tuesday!

Today as part of Vendor Love, I bring you the beautiful work of Veronica Dearly.
From the fonts to the polka dots, I love the styling on Veronica’s work.
“I am Veronica Dearly and I have a small art and design studio just outside West London. Since creating a stationery suite for my own wedding last year, I’ve been working with couples to create bespoke invitations and paper goods for their weddings, and I’m now launching a range of invitation collections.
“I have always pursued painting & creativity, as an angsty schoolgirl I sold giant finger paintings of Kurt Cobain and then went onto paint portraits of couples and children. Recently I’ve favoured more illustrative work and graphic design and this has coincided nicely with my adventures in wedding stationery.
My style is heavily influenced by old school ink, I just love the bold, graphic lines and recognisable imagery – and whilst I don’t have my own tattoos (yet!) I am immortalised as a pin up on my husbands arm forever, which I totally dig.
“Having searched the market furiously in the build-up to my own wedding I understand that it’s often difficult to find something that you totally love – which is why all my collections can easily be tailored to suit you and your wedding.
I also offer a fully bespoke service so if you want something inspired by your own ink, wild wedding theme or even pin up versions of you and your future intended – then I’m your girl!
“My prices start from £2 per invitation, all with the option of additional information cards, RSVP cards and pretty ribbons if you fancy it, and co-ordinating “on the day” paper goods are also available for each collection. My bespoke design fee for wedding invitations is £50.”
Aren’t they gorgeous designs? I do love the polkadots and the swallows! They’re Beautiful!
Don’t forget to visit Veronica’s page to check more of her designs and prices.
