Styles
I consider myself a bit of an allrounder when it comes to tattooing, I started learning my craft in a busy shop and as such do enjoy a broad range of styles. With that though I do prefer some styles to others. They include, black and grey realism and Dotwork/Geometric.
Colour isn't something a do primarily, however I would be more than happy to work with the right subject matter, I love the weird and quirky subject matter so don't be afraid to hit me up.
Black and grey realism is the style I have been doing the longest. I love doing animals, birds and portraits. If you are keen on this style its best to send through a lot of photo reference.
Dot work is probably my favourite style at the moment. I use it to create some awesome little designs of creatures and monsters, anything weird. The subject matter can vary but I most of the work I do in this style tends to be on the small to medium size.
Colour was my bread and butter as an artist before I became a tattoo artist. I love pop culture, neo traditional and indigenous styles.
