About Me

Hi there, Thank you for checking out my profile.
I am now working in beautiful Bristol, UK.
Previously I worked at Woody's Tattoo Studio in High Wycombe for five years,
O' Happy Dagger Tattoo in Amersham for 3 years & Songbird Tattoo in Exeter for 4 years.

I specialise in Brushstroke Mandalas, Dot-Work, Black n' Grey and colour tattooing.

Over the years my style of tattooing has changed. After many years in a walk in studio, I desperately craved a greater level of creativity and independence but lacked direction.
I found inspiration when looking through some old sketches I had created at Life Drawing classes years before.
I began to develop a 'Sketchy' or Illustrative style of tattooing.
Predominately colour, then branching out into combining the loose expressive aspects of my 'Sketchy Style' with the refined and disciplined aesthetic of colour realism. Pop-Culture tattoos where where my enthusiasm resided, largely due to my client base having similar tastes in music and movies to myself.

Fast forward a few years and my style has evolved into a more ritualistic style.
The sketchy and illustrative elements are very much still present. This is best represented by how I approach Mandalas.

I believe this evolution in tattooing style is partly due to relocating to Exeter, where I found Pop-Culture and my bold illustrative style of tattooing wasn't popular. Largely being asked for black & grey & geometric tattoos.
That and my increased interest in Shamanism & Rituals, organically became interwoven. And meant my work was very much focusing on black and grey & geometric, and less focussed on my illustrative style.

Having relocated from Exeter to Bristol in 2022, I have the opportunity to draw and tattoo a lot more of my signature sketchy/illustrative tattoos. Alongside dotwork realism and not forgetting art nouveau inspired tattoos.

All this combined has given me a renewed excitement and enthusiasm for tattooing, body modification & rituals in various cultures.
