Pontypridd, South Wales

Since I can remember I have always had a strong faccination for art, specifically realism. I’ve always had a passion for painting and sketching and the idea that I could make art forever on skin was exciting to me. I gratefully began an apprenticeship in 2018 with an amazing mentor and have continued to be a full time artist since 2020 in a studio based in Pontypridd, South Wales. 

Growing up I had heavy influences from social media and other artists, specifically the artist Anrijs Straume. From the moment I started practicing on various fruits, which was not very easy, I knew this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. 

Starting off I tried out many different styles however there was definitely a clear path I wanted to pursue. I find heavy inspiration from pop culture, especially music and the art of album covers which led me to black and grey portraits, my favourite! Additionally, I started taking on an interest of colour and am always trying to improve on my skills.

In the spare time that I have, I spend with family, my girlfriend and our pets(there’s a lot). 

Going from a small retail store, to a full time sponsored tattoo artist has been crazy. I look forward to my future as a tattoo artist and all the opportunities that come with it.
