I was an Art Teacher for over 10 years before deciding to change my career and follow my true passion in the tattoo and piercing industry. I apprenticed as a professional piercer in Nottinghamshire before making the move to train as a tattoo artist and am loving every second!

 

I graduated with a Fine Art degree from UCE in Birmingham which then saw me training to teach in Worcester. I was a Secondary Art teacher and Head of House in a top school in a local borough before realising life was too short and I spent all of my spare time (and money!) on my apprenticeships. I hold professionalism and learning at the top of my list and take every care to be as knowledgable as possible for my clients. I am certified in infection control and heathcare training and First Aid and am constantly evolving in my practice to ensure I keep on growing as an artist.

 

In my spare time I am a world recognised Fusion Bellydancer and have travelled to teach and perform across the world. My favourite places to work in have been Rome, Buenos Aires, Washington D.C and California where I have many close friends who inspire me daily. I teach weekly classes in the local area and enjoy performing at both dance and tattoo events nationally. I am a massive bookworm and enjoy good food and company. I am a crazy cat lady and mummy to my black moggy Mortie and crazy Sphynx, Pumpkin.

 

I am happy to work in many styles but particularly enjoy textural pieces reminiscent of Victorian etchings with fine lines and whimsical details, using a limited colour palette or blackwork. I also enjoy neo-traditional work and dotwork. My favourite subjects being flora and fauna and cult classic movie references!
