Healed work
Rose & Skull
This tattoo has healed and settled in beautifully, it looks pretty much exactly as it did when it was freshly done
The work
A portfolio of my favourite works..
Black & grey realism, surreal ideas, animal portraits, and bespoke pieces. I have 8 years experience behind the needle and over 20 years experience behind pen, pencil and paint. I work by appointment only from a private 1-1 space in Downham Market, Norfolk - a quiet relaxed studio room that allows me to fully emerge in my work and allows you to feel comfortable and confident in a private space where my soul focus is you and only you. Each design whether it's pre-drawn or a custom request is carefully thought out with the important details in mind: lighting, contrast, detail and how it's going to sit on the body. I use a lot of saturated blacks and negative space to create depth and contrast, light and shadow that can make something feel alive on skin. Tattoos that will hold up for years down the line. This is why I love working in black & grey, artwork you can be proud of and confident that it'll last.
My approach
Every piece starts with a conversation.
In depth consultations, honest advise and communication and hours spent designing behind the scenes before you even set foot through the door. Whether it's a hyper-real animal, a surreal dreamscape, or something deeply personal, I take the time to make sure it's right before we ever pick up a needle.
