This has been so much fun. A lot of work, but so much fun. The interview I did with Carly Llewelyn was a personal highlight.

I am so proud of our magazine – it’s had such a positive response already! I had a blast interviewing Nancy Harry and sketching her beautiful face for our front cover design!
Ink, music, fashion and culture have come together for the launch of a new alternative lifestyle magazine in Cardiff.
Needles & Pins, a free lifestyle magazine celebrating female body art, will be launched today by students from Cardiff University’s Journalism school.
The magazine will cover Cardiff’s tattoo scene from a female perspective and aims to provide a fresh outlook to current publications on the market.
In the first issue, readers can expect an exclusive interview with alternative model, Nancy Harry, as well as the latest tattoo news, alt-fashion and features on inspiring women in the industry.
