I have been around the industry since I was 15 in different ways, watching my father's tattoo journey with intrigue after we got our first tattoos together on the same day. This is possibly what sparked the passion for tattoo in me. I bought my first tattoo machine at 19, but I decided not to follow it through at this stage, as I realised how much of my attention and life it needed. I studied art at college for 2 years and later graphic design. Then I worked doing a variety of jobs from builder to sales, gaining life experience along the way. After several years I went back to studying, learning business at university. I also did a lot of travelling in this time. After university I started working for myself, starting out in graphic design and then becoming a web developer - I was self-taught on the latter. Throughout all this experience, tattoo never left me, I was an avid collector, designing my own tattoos that I wanted on me, and I became friends with a few Tattoo Artists who asked for my help with their websites. I then decided to build a tattoo social network. Looking back this was quite an important stage of my life as I learnt so much more about the tattoo industry doing this that I wouldn't have learned any other way. Unintentionally, I started to build my contacts within the industry worldwide. When my father passed, I decided to sell the site. Then what I suppose was always inevitable happened, I picked up the machine again......

Having sat through a lot of hours of tattoo myself with a variety of artists, I am able to put myself in a client's shoes and I always tailor each tattoo session to suit the person being tattooed. No two sessions are the same, as no two people are the same, each client brings a different personality and life experience with them, and I like to adapt to suit every person and make them as comfortable as possible for their session. But the most important thing with tattoo is obviously the skin, no two people have the same skin, and I have dedicated many hours on working out how to work with different skin, and pride myself on knowing how to adapt my technique quickly suit the uniqueness of the human body.

I love to design and enjoy a challenge. I can put designs together in any style, the more unique the better for me.

I really value my time as should you. If you book in with me, I will work really hard to make sure you get the best tattoo I can offer. I understand that life happens sometimes, but I ask that if you need to cancel a booking you give as much notice as possible. Let's work together with mutual respect and create the best experience for both of us.
