Creating with Integrity
I’ve walked my own roads, so I understand the weight of the stories we carry. In my Edinburgh studio, it’s not just about putting ink on skin—it’s about finding the right way to tell your story. Whether you’re covering old work or marking a new moment in your life, I’m here to create something that feels honest to you. You’ll find respect, understanding and genuine effort to get the best possible tattoo for you.
I don’t do the whole “books closed” performance — I’m here to work with people, not feed my ego.

“Been going to Dave for years now, always easy to book in, excellent work and he is more of a brother than a tattoo artist !”

Why I’m still at it after a decade..
Working with clients is the best part of what I do. Taking someone’s idea and turning it into something they’re proud to wear for life is an incredible feeling. I’ve worked with people looking for realistic tattoos, anime tattoos, floral pieces, gaming designs, and more. Everyone’s got a story, and my job is to bring that to life in a way that fits them.
As a custom Edinburgh tattoo studio, I put a lot of focus on colour work. Colour isn’t just about making a tattoo stand out—it’s about setting the right tone. With colour, I can create something bold and striking or soft and subtle, depending on what fits the design and the person wearing it. Seeing a tattoo fully healed on someone’s skin and knowing we got it just right is always rewarding.
If you’re serious about your tattoo, an in-person consultation is a must. It helps me properly understand what you want, see how the design fits your body, and make sure we’re set up to get you the best possible result.
