BACKGROUND AS A TATTOO ARTIST
I have always been an artist and have made a living through my art. Tattooing became a natural extension of my creative practice, offering another medium through which to express myself while allowing me to travel and connect with people. For over 30 years, I have been dedicated to refining my craft, evolving my artistic style, and creating meaningful, custom artwork.
I enjoy creating large-scale custom pieces that are rich in colour and painterly, illustrative in style. Every tattoo is individually designed, ensuring that each piece is completely unique to the person wearing it. Creating original artwork is one of the most rewarding parts of my process, and I take pride in producing tattoos that are both visually striking and deeply personal.
CONSULTATION AND CONCEPTUALISING
The consultation and design process is one of the most important parts of my work. Designing a tattoo is about far more than creating a beautiful image, it’s about understanding the person who will wear it for life. I spend considerable time planning every piece, sketching concepts, and designing artwork around each individual’s body shape so that the final piece feels natural and balanced.
Many of my clients return over the years to expand existing work, with most tattoo sessions lasting around seven hours. During our consultations, I enjoy uncovering the stories, hopes, memories, and aspirations that are meaningful to each person, then translating those ideas into artwork that carries lasting significance. I often think of these tattoos as a form of personal armour, symbolising identity, strength, and offering a lasting sense of protection.
