Tattooing
Black & Grey | Fineline | Dotwork | Realism | Handpoked
I love what I do
I’m drawn to nature and take great joy in capturing its beauty. My style is delicate with a focus on realism but I also enjoy simplifying forms and creating stylised versions, depending on the client preference.
I like the contrast when working with blacks and greys and find the designs transition well onto the skin, taking on their own character; complementing and being complemented by all skin tones.

Why Tattooing?
I remember getting my first tattoo, I was 18, the shop was an intimidating, yet intriguing place; a closed book from the outside and I must have walked past it, on the high street, most weekends for a good couple of years before working up the courage to step inside. I didn’t know what I wanted, I just knew I wanted a tattoo. I picked a nondescript tribal-ish design, from a conveniently placed ring binder, and got it popped between my shoulder blades, classic! I don’t love it, but certainly don’t regret it. I love where it ‘takes me’, when I think about it. A specific moment in my life, a life that is now a world away from the one I had thought it would be. That’s what I love about tattoos. They signify a moment in time, a snapshot, a snippet of a story, holding endless meaning and emotions; hurt, pain, love, loss, life, joy, sadness, memory, you name it.
Your body is sacred, and so is your story. Being able to help someone capture a moment of their life, a moment they will remember forever, is a privilege.
That’s why tattooing.
Plus I get to make some beautiful things and meet some beautiful people in the process.
