Testimonials

  Amazing experience! ...

Absolutely fantastic! My first tattoo experience was with Dave and I can’t thank him enough for his patience and extremely talented work. This guy goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and I genuinely don’t think I could have found a better artist to start work on my sleeve. I cannot recommend this man enough!! The shop is also in such a lovely wee area which is a bonus. Amazing experience! S.B   |     |

Why I'm here

Working with clients is the most fulfilling aspect of my job. Being able to take someone's idea and turn it into a beautiful work of art is an incredible feeling. I have worked with clients who want realistic tattoos, anime tattoos, floral tattoos, gaming tattoos, and many others. Each client has a story to tell, and it is my job to interpret their vision into a tattoo that will be with them forever.

As a custom Edinburgh tattoo studio, I am also very proud of my colour work. Colour is an essential element in creating a tattoo that truly stands out. It brings a tattoo to life and adds a personal touch to the design. I love using vibrant colours in my designs, and seeing the finished product on my client's skin is always a rewarding experience.

Specialist tattooing experience

One of my favourite types of tattoos to create is portrait tattoos. These tattoos require skill and precision to ensure that the likeness of the person is captured accurately. The challenge of creating a portrait tattoo is what draws me to them. It is an opportunity to create a piece of art that will forever honour someone's memory.

Pet tattoos are also a favourite of mine. As a pet owner myself, I understand the bond that people share with their furry friends. Creating a tattoo that pays tribute to a beloved pet is a heart-warming experience. These tattoos often hold a special meaning for the client, and it is an honour to be a part of that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Creativity at every stage

Being an illustrative tattoo artist allows me to constantly push my creativity to new heights. Each design is unique, and I am constantly challenged to think outside of the box. Whether it's a realistic tattoo or an anime tattoo, I strive to create a design that not only looks beautiful but tells a story.

I am passionate about my work as an illustrative tattoo artist. Working with clients at my Edinburgh tattoo studio, and creating work that reflect their personality and interests is a truly fulfilling experience. Tattoos are a form of art that allows people to express themselves, and I am grateful to be a part of that process.
