📍Exeter, UK

Born in Torquay in southwest England, I’ve been surrounded by art for as long as I can remember — family joke that I should’ve been born with a pencil in my hand. I spent my school years and free time creating, but never imagined art as a career. I originally planned to become a Marine Biologist, until barely passing Science and Maths made me rethink everything. Unsure what to do, I turned back to the one thing I felt confident in: Art. I never expected to become a tattoo artist either, but after designing commissions for friends and family, they pushed me toward it. I took an apprenticeship, and eight years later, I can’t imagine doing anything else.

For the past six years, I’ve worked at Wolf Ink Studios, a team that has become my second family. I specialise mainly in fineline tattoos, with occasional neo-traditional influences, and I also love creating delicate botanical pieces. I’m a huge nerd at heart, so many of my designs draw inspiration from anime, movies, and video games—things that shaped my childhood and still feel nostalgic to create today. I also love to travel, so tattooing fits perfectly with guest spots and conventions around the country and abroad. A highlight so far was winning 2nd place in Fineline at the UKTTA. I’m always learning, pushing my style, and excited to see where this career takes me next.
