And it\u0027s the same in most shops. It\u0027s still very male dominated,\u0022 Smith told the BBC. \u0022But we are breaking through. We are coming through.\u0022She\u0027s now quite an accomplished body artist, having work that\u0027s soon to be showcased in an extraordinary exhibition called Mark Making: Women Making Their Mark in Tattoo Arts at a university in Canterbury.\n\n    \n        \n            \n        \n    \n    \n        World\n        \n            Saudis accuse Houthis of attacking holy city amid explosions in Yemen\u0027s capital\n        \n    \nShe touts her unique tattooing style as being at least in-part due to her experience as a female worker in a male-dominated space. Recently, she\u0027s been sharing her extraordinary work on Instagram –\u00A0where she has more than 12,000 followers!\u0022There\u0027s a new style that I like to call girly pop trad, which is basically the trad style, so bold lines, limited color palette but it\u0027s fun, girly sort of things,\u0022 she explained.\u0022Not to say that you have to get girly tattoos if you\u0027re a woman,\u0022 Smith said.",
