ABOUT THE ARTIST

Art has always been at the heart of what I do. After earning a National Diploma in Fine Art, I completed my tattoo apprenticeship at IndynInk in Grimsby before taking my skills abroad, working independently in Shenzhen, China.Today, I create custom tattoos across a range of styles, including portrait realism, black and grey, colour and cover-ups.I believe the best tattoos begin with a conversation. I enjoy working closely with clients to turn their ideas into something meaningful and unique.Outside the studio, I continue exploring my creativity through oil painting and other artistic mediums.
