I started my tattoo apprenticeship in 2009 and worked in various styles in walk-in studios for about 7 years before starting to hone a more specialised style. I originally started to push dotwork geometry which progressed into a more floral style influenced by eastern patterns.

Over the pandemic I played around with relief printing and with that my style changed again. I’ve always been interested in European folk art, victorian botanical illustration, art deco and art nouveau styles. All this combined with my love for bold black tattoos is what has lead to the work I produce now (although I still enjoy working in different styles - I’ll do any tattoo if I’m confident that I can execute it well and my client will be happy!)

I like to try out different arts and crafts when I’m not tattooing. Lino printing seems to have stuck the most out of them, but I also dabble in crochet, cross-stitch, macrame, painting and pyrography.

When I’m not buying tools for crafts that I won’t stick to I enjoy cooking, reading, visiting new places (particularly gorges!), strength training, a good pub garden with friends and going for walks and bike rides around the coast where I’m currently living.
