Custom blackwork tattoos made in Colchester. Bold, high-contrast pieces woven with floral illustrations, geometric patternwork, and the quiet influence of Japanese and Buddhist elements.

A man with long dreadlocks, smiling, wearing a light-colored shirt, against a brown background.

Every piece here was made intentionally, by hand, in collaboration with my amazing clients.

Take a look, and if something speaks to you, let’s create something together.
