For as long as I can remember, I was always into tattoos, I say as far as I remember but really I mean from pre school. But please don't think I was chasing children with needles though!

My artistic weapon of choice was a permanent marker and my arms were the canvas.

Now, I've been tattooing professionally for nearly 12 years, which surprises a lot of people, But you have to remember where I've come from, there was no-one to learn about tattoos from, few shops to even apprentice in. If I’d have found somewhere then I’d have been doing it from the earliest age I could! But this also made me want it more and when the time came I dedicated my whole life to it. Every hour of every day practicing,trying new things. It wasn’t just my passion, it was my life.
I started with black and grey and as much as I loved it, when I started with Colour I felt complete. It felt right.

I love any colour work realism, abstract or colours so wild you need sunglasses. The process fulfils me from design to seeing the final piece. My customers look and think it’s amazing, then I spend another 2 hours being a perfectionist. It’s the artist in me. I just want every piece I do to have a small part of me in it and I love to see people’s smiles. Especially with portraits of loved ones. The whole process engulfs me and it’s all I can think about. I just want every single piece no matter how big or small to be awe inspiring and perfect.
 

I also have many hobbies, Music is a big part of my spare time, DJ-ing to be specific. It's like a drug, like an addiction, I get a rush every time I que up a track ready to mix.

I could write and write about all of this stuff and the many many awards and all the things I’ve done, but time flies and I need to get back to my decks and play something…..
