📍Canvey Island, UK

Growing up in Canvey Island, Essex, in the United Kingdom, my journey into the world of tattooing began with a deep-rooted passion for art and design. Inspired by the legendary Mister Cartoon, whose groundbreaking work in the tattoo industry captivated me, I was drawn to the idea of blending art with personal expression. I started my career as a studio manager, immersing myself in the tattoo industry. This hands-on experience fuelled my growth and helped me find my own way to create heartwarming tattoos. Over time, I transitioned into tattooing full-time, carving out a career that blends creativity, precision, and storytelling. Today, I’m proud to continue building my reputation in the industry and look forward to the opportunities ahead.

Mr. Baptiste is a monochrome black and grey tattoo artist who has built a career around needles. Ironically, a fear of needles delayed his tattoo career for years, but once he overcame it, along with the support of a team he calls family, he transformed his passion for tattoos into a career he’s truly grateful for.What started as a nerdy kid in the Royal Air Force marching band with a love for gangster rap and motorsports has led to him being featured in this magazine, attending tattoo conventions, and gaining more knowledge from seminars across the globe. He’s proof that dedication and hard work can turn even the most unlikely paths into remarkable success.
