ABOUT ME
I am a tattoo artist from the small island of Jersey, United Kingdom. I didn't go into my adult life wanting and dreaming to be a tattoo artist, I've always had an eye for art but never thought that it was possible to be a tattoo artist with so many walls to overcome.
My passion for tattoos started early. I got my first bit of flash tribal at 17 and there was no going back
Fast forward to 2013 when I began my apprenticeship. I naturally gravitated towards realism in my artwork and in amongst learning the foundations of tattooing, I would often use my Sundays to practice portraiture/realism tattoos on any poor soul that would donate their skin.
“The best part of what I do will always be seeing a client’s reaction when they first see their tattoo.”
I believe it was important to my development as an artist to try and learn different techniques early on, and I still use these skills every day in the work I do.
I see myself as a realism artist but love to explore all types of styles, I'm always looking at other artists tattoo work and artwork for inspiration which in turn pushes my work and how I interpret a tattoo.
I've had such a rich journey and met some awe-inspiring people, with the support from my family and friends, this "job" has given me the opportunity to travel, work in different environments and learn from my peers.
The one constant that remains true, and I believe is the most important is the client, without their trust and skin I wouldn't have the canvas to express my art, to them I am most thankful.
