Ever since I was little I've always had a passion for art, from a young age I would spend the majority of my time surrounded by pens, paper, scissors and glue making whatever came to mind.

My first ever teacher believed so strongly that I would make something of myself due to my artistic nature, that she kept a picture I drew so she could make some money from it. Sorry to disappoint!

​

Aside from my love of art I like to keep active, still playing football with the lads I grew up with. I love watching films, horror, action, comedies, sci-fi (take a guess where the studio name came from) and of course superhero movies. Batman's my guilty pleasure but that’s no secret. Music plays a huge part in my life, one minute you might catch me listening to classical music, the next heavy metal. If you like rock n roll we'll get along just fine. My guitars however have been neglected and are now collecting dust ever since I became a Dad! 

​

I have been happily married for 8 years to my very talented wife who is a whizz at wedding photography (give her a shout if you're getting hitched - link below). We have three little terrors who are on the whole, well behaved, that said I solely blame them for the amount I have aged in recent years. 

​

As soon as I was old enough to be tattooed I was fascinated by the art, spending the majority of my time in the chair quizzing the tattoo artist. Since 2012, between other jobs I started developing my skillset as a tattooist, pushing myself harder and setting bigger challenges to improve my overall execution. After a number of years as a self taught tattooist, I took the plunge and became a full time tattooist in 2020. I tackle pretty much any style, that said I love black and grey, photo realism and portraits. 

 

I take pride in the work that I do and in the long-term relationships that I build with my clients. I am a firm believer in working hard, working together, and having fun along the way! Explore my portfolio, and feel free to get in touch with any questions.
