I’ve been tattooing for 8+ years now, I specialise in opaque black n grey realism and inspired by contrast and the flow of the body, I do this to make my designs fit each person differently, we come in all shapes and sizes and we all want something that will enhance our current or desired form. I grew up in many countries including the UK where I am based now, however I take a lot from my Japanese roots, especially in how I approach the world. I want every tattoo to feel grounded. have depth. Measured. Like a photograph carved into the skin, but still personal.

I also travel a lot, not just to work, but to find new ways of seeing and approaching new projects with new life and techniques learnt from the places I go as well as understanding and learning new cultures to help develope myself, In my younger years I served in the military which taught me a lot.. sometimes too much, but it gave me a perspective on life that I deeply appreciate now. I’ve also got ADHD with that hyperfocus type aha so once we start, we’re not stopping till it’s done right. you'll hate me at the time but I don’t do shortcuts. I just want to make pieces that matter.

My style’s often called opaque realism It's a mix of soft greys and layered shading that builds depth slowly as to not damage the skin. I tattoo how I used to draw: gentle pressure, like a biro or pencil. It heals cleaner. It lasts longer. the ink bleeds in the skin less,

I believe in intention. Every piece should feel timeless, not trendy. Something you’ll never get bored of. I want you to walk away with something bespoke, symbolic, and personal to you.

In Japan, ikigai means “a reason for being.” That quiet sense of purpose. For me, tattooing is that. It’s not about being the best, it’s about meaning and putting everything into each piece. another philosophy I live by is kaizen: it means steady, constant improvement. Every piece teaches me something new. Every trip, every conversation, every mistake is all part of the process to get to the end result not matter the time it takes to get there.
