Introduction- 15th November 2021

Welcome! You’ve somehow found my website in the digital stream of information and adverts that is the the internet! Here I’ll be sharing my tattoos, paintings etc. It’s pretty much Instagram without all the complaints about “THE ALGORITHM”. As it’s my own platform, I can’t get shadow banned for saying whatever is on my mind. (Cunty cunty shit fuck) I can share photos of my work without fear of it being deleted, because it has a nipple in it and I can also post freely here without fear of what someone might say in a comment section. Sticks and stones, yeah, but the inernet is bacterial breeding ground for people’s half cocked opinions. Opinion’s I’d rather not have as part of my world/internet view.

Who am I?
I am a 30 year old British human male. I’m married to a wonderful woman and we share our house with 6 cats. I work as a tattoo artist from Blackfriars Tattoo House which is in Carlisle, Cumbria. I have worked in tattooing since April 2011. I cut my teeth at Jink Tattoo Studio in Whitehaven until I moved to my current residence in 2016. As Jink was a street shop, I tattooed whatever the customer asked for. This is how I got to know the different styles of tattooing and build an appreciation for tattooing as a whole and as a medium.
Now I specialise in Neo Traditional and Japanese. Basically tattoos with a mixture of lines, shading and colour. I still tattoo in other styles, but I focus on Neotrad and Japanese because I can draw and plan the projects with more creativity and with a deeper wealth of knowledge and experience.

I’ve spent alot of time throughout my tattoo career pouring over other tattooists website’s, blog’s and social media pages looking for clues as to how they’ve done things and how they’ve designed their work.
With the Gallery I plan to share some of the things that I would have loved to have seen when I was starting out, or even now, still learning. The Blog is maybe where I can share some thoughts on processes or generally share some tattoo related excitement and the Shop is where I will be selling Original artwork, prints and other merch.

Thanks for reading and I hope this doesn’t turn out to be shite.
