I originally studied illustration at Brighton City college and at this time became interested in tattoos. It was at a studio in Brighton that I had my first tattoo and after several inspiring tattoo sessions by some incredible artists, I set my heart on joining this industry.
I began my apprenticeship in Southsea, Portsmouth and stayed there for three years until I decided to make the move to London and joined a studio in Kingston upon Thames, I have been at True tattoo for the last 3 years and additionally work at Aura Ninety four in North Greenwich a couple days a week.
My work style has always remained true to my illustrative roots, however, after exploring ornamental pattern work, it soon became a favourite tattoo design of mine. I love being able to work in two very different styles, which makes each tattoo session different to the next.
For the future, I am looking to focus on large scale projects of ornamental work, for example full fronts and back pieces. The freedom of working on a larger scale tattoo and incorporating patterns using the natural shape of the body is something I am really passionate about.
Apart from tattoo projects, I love to spend my free time creating art prints and merchandise, both digitally and by hand. These can be found on my online store so please take a look!
