We thought it was time to break down some of the most iconic styles in tattooing 💥

Over the coming weeks, our new “Tattoo Style Series” will take you through each one, what makes them unique, what to look for in an artist, and how to know which style is right for you.

Stay tuned. 🖤

Convention photo dump!

Had an absolute blast for my first convention @maidstonetattooextravaganza

What an honour to be asked to work alongside my friend @jackakehurst and to represent his shop @1709tattoo I guest at! His booth looked incredible! Full circle for me to be working with Jack after getting so many tattoos from him in my youth

Finally got to meet properly and work with @tattoos.bytina @tattooedbybird and @_blayn_ who are absolute hustlers @sacredempire_tattoo Thankyou for organising our tables!

Was great having my mate @newburytattoo as my neighbour, both tattoo in Eastbourne and gunna hit some more conventions together this year, top bloke and tattooer!

Honestly blown away that I made 18 tattoos over the 3 days and that you guys chose to get tattooed by me out of a huge room full of incredible artists, thankyou! 🙏🧡

I haven’t added a pic of every tattoo I made as I’ve learnt I’m really shit at getting good photos in decent light 😂

Thank you to everyone who got tattooed, came for a chat, took a sticker or a card, I appreciate you all! 🫶

Absolutely buzzing for another convention after this and can’t wait for next years.

Was also fantastic to meet so many artists I admire, catch up with old faces and new! I would tag you all but I don’t want to miss anyone out 😅

Also it was so good to see old my mentor @sebforesttattoo come down for the day with baby Vinnie! Love you mate! 🧡

But also a big shout out to Fraser and his dedicated team who organised all of this to make the event happen, who also slept on an air mattress at the venue to make sure every artists booth/equipment was looked after!

I bloody love tattooing and everything about it!
What a way to spend the Easter bank holiday! 🧡🧡🧡🧡
