💡How you got into tattooing
I started getting tattoos at 17, back in 1998, and loved the vibe of tattoo studios. At 32, while on Jobseeker’s Allowance, I convinced the job centre to fund a piercing course. For four years, I rode my moped to pierce clients at their homes. Eventually, I felt I had more to offer, so I picked up a pencil, moved to Brighton, and became a tattoo artist.

💡What’s your style?
Early in my career, I tried various styles, but my “apprenticeship” wasn’t great. My passion for portraits began when I drew Walter White from Breaking Bad. It wasn’t perfect, but I loved the challenge of capturing a face’s many details. I avoided walk-ins and dove straight into realism. I made mistakes—everyone does—but it’s all part of mastering the craft.

💡Where you see yourself in 5 Years
I’m 6 years into a 15-year goal to be one of the best realism tattoo artists in the world. Behind the scenes, I put 110% into every detail: designing, stenciling, drawing, and researching. In 5 years, I aim to be more established and refined—and I’d love to open a restaurant, too.

💡Favourite artist
There are many incredible artists, but Noah Bissih stands out. His portrait work at such a young age is unbelievable.

💡Weirdest tattoo request
We had an enquiry about tattooing a micro pe nis. Not really sure what to say about that. I declined haha
