A b o u t M e

Originally from Shrewsbury, Shropshire, I have been a tattoo artist since 2019 but a creative from my birth in 1997. Although my studies and interest in people took me to gain a degree in Psychology, I found myself back craving the feeling to express myself creatively through my passion for art, specialising in soft, delicate fine line tattooing. My favourite tattoos to do are oversized florals, and undersized dog portraits. Outside of the studio, I have a keen interest in animals, having had a number of exotic pets – but my weakness is for pooches.

I currently am based at Lounge, in Bridgnorth High Street, West Midlands. I work on an appointment only basis, so I don’t take walk-ins but I’m not opposed to a last minute booking if time allows! The salon I work from is female owned, with all-female staff. It’s a luxurious salon with my colleagues offering services from lashes, to nails, to aesthetics. Many of our clients have become dear friends of us all, and we love hanging out with you.

Why choose me as your artist? Well, my goal is to not only give you a piece of art you’ll cherish for the rest of your life, but an experience you’ll love too. My booking system allows you to have control from the moment you enquire – designed for efficiency, you’ll be sent all the info you’ll need before committing to the ink, whether that’s where to park, what to wear, the best snacks to bring… I’ve covered all the stupid questions, trust me. There’ll be no more back and forth trying to find a date that works for us both – you’ll see all my current availability and can choose the perfect spot that works for you.

My goal is to make clients feel less like they’re paying for a service, and more like they’re hanging out with a friend creating art together. I pride myself on having fun with my clients, adapting my approach to suit their needs. Wanna sit in silence? That’s cool, I’ll stick a playlist on. Wanna bitch about your ex boyfriend and stalk him on social media? Cool, use my iPad so you have the big screen. I take on custom tattoos as well as flash, meaning I will work with you, your ideas and your inspiration with a collaborative approach to ensure your new artwork suits you and your individual style. I never repeat custom designs and I’ll never copy another artists work, meaning your tattoo will be as unique as your fingerprint.

Moreover, my work with you doesn’t finish when the inking does – after your appointment you’ll be informed of your aftercare instructions, but by the time you’re home they’ll be in your inbox too – no more feeling left to fend for yourself!
