About Me
I started my Tattooing Career shortly after moving to St.Helens early 2015.
I began at Anarchy Tattoo, as an Apprentice under the main man himself 'Grant Atherton' (Empire Tattoo).
He taught me all the basics of Tattooing and how to work the Machines etc until I was ready to be left to my own devices.
Didn't take too long for him to think i was ready as I was then regularly Tattooing Later in the Year with lots of cheap price offers and easy designs to start with. I had a lots of support and generous Canvases to practice my skills on, which i am very grateful for, the customers, for having such patience and encouraging words from day 1.

I Eventually found my feet after being thrown in the deep end and learning my own style and learning what risks to take and when to simply say NO to a certain design that was too advanced for me.
A huge step up in my skills began once i started experimenting with Realism (Which is something i wanted to do).
Not long after that, a great Portrait Artist joined the shop and worked with me 'Paul Hughes' (Urban Ink).
From him i learned the basics of Portraits and he let me do my first ever portrait on his leg whilst teaching me.
From there i ran with my new info and skills and practiced it over and over on more of my generous Canvases over the year.
I got a lot of positive feedback for my portraits considering the amount of time i had been Tattooing before attempting them.
I never looked back and still practicing all my skills to this day, in Realism and Portraits too.
Another area that i started getting a lot of notice for, was my Fine Detailed pieces. I did a few offers to improve my detail skills and was then getting a lot of bookings that involved a lot of finer detail, which i also enjoy doing.
I moved to Empire Tattoo, St.Helens towards the end of 2016 to be with my Tutors Grant and Paul, as there were always on hand to assist and give criticism if i needed it. However i found that they were pretty happy with my work and let me get on with my trade by myself. Which is probably the best way to learn.

I am forever grateful to Grant for Teaching me the ropes and helping me find my feet and Paul for helping me step up my game in Portraits. Top lads and good friends of mine.
Thank you Ste and Dan at Anarchy Tattoo for letting me do my Apprenticeship with them and Carl and Wardy for letting me join them at Empire Tattoo.

Also a great big thank you to every single one of my customers for being so supportive and helping share my posts/work over the years and getting my custom designs. Great Canvases to work with and some have became friends.
Before Tattooing i had studied Music Production at Uni Level, to which i Graduated in 2013. I Play guitar and am trained as a Sound Engineer, although drawing was something i always did during my studies in spare time and of course I would have always loved to be doing something within Art, that suited my own style of drawing and personality.
Struggling for a couple years to find my place after Uni and taking any old job to support myself financially until I was then offered an Apprenticeship after showing my drawing portfolio, i took the risk and moved city to start my dream career.
I am a designer at heart and have been Drawing and doing Graphic Design for as long as i can remember, picking up various skills which have helped with my custom designs in Tattooing. I am known for my creative ideas with any project.
