About me


Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here!

Tattooing is my great love. I’m based in east London, where I live with my family and our dog, and I’ve been creating art for as long as I can remember. With over 10 years in the tattoo industry, my aim is always the same: to offer you the most thoughtful, high-quality, and comfortable tattoo experience possible.

I create custom tattoos of all sizes — from small, delicate pieces to larger, more detailed work. My style blends botanicals and nature-inspired imagery with a touch of fairytale and fantasy. It’s illustrative yet realistic, rich in detail, and full of contrast.

The idea that someone would carry a piece of my imagination with them forever? That never stops feeling special to me. I take it seriously — with care, creativity, and a deep respect for the process.

I believe getting a tattoo should always come from a place of love and good intention. It can be healing. It can be empowering. Or it can just be something that brings you joy — no deeper meaning needed. Whatever you’re coming in with, I’m here for it.

Whether you’re feeling excited and confident, or a bit anxious and unsure — I’ve got you. We’ll take it at your pace, and we’ll make it work together.

The connection I have with my clients is one of my favourite things about this job. Many have been with me for years, and I cherish the trust and friendships we’ve built. It means the world to me that I get to do this for a living — and that I get to do it with such kind, brilliant people.

On this site, you’ll find a little peek into my world. I’m a notorious over-explainer (my clients say it’s one of my best traits), so you’ll also find plenty of info about things like tattoo healing, cover-up techniques, and how to prepare for your session. Have a browse — and when you’re ready, I can’t wait to meet you and create something beautiful together.
