Honouring Tattoo Traditions Through Contemporary Practice
I’m a professional tattoo artist with over seven years of experience, specialising in traditional styles of tattooing. My approach is shaped by a lifelong love of visual art and a diverse creative background. I’m experienced with working in most styles of tattooing, having worked in street shops for my whole tattoo career. I often draw my influences from my interest in tattoo history and enjoy creating pieces that work with and complement the body.
Before entering tattooing, I worked as a freelance illustrator, creating album artwork and gig posters, and spent time as a graphic designer, print operator, and was bar manager of The Royal Oak, a popular live music pub in Bath.
In 2014, I graduated with a First Class Honours in Illustration from the University of Portsmouth.
Beyond tattooing, I’m passionate about music, mysticism, and alternative culture. I draw inspiration from the raw energy of punk, metal, and electronic genres like psytrance and techno. When I’m not tattooing, you’ll likely find me running, practicing yoga, knitting, exploring the outdoors, or tending to my frogs, fish, and growing collection of plants.
I aim to create tattoos that are bold, meaningful, and built to last.
