I first joined the Modz team back in 2012, I began my career as a body piercer. Previously to joining Modz I trained as a health care assistant, and was also studying forensic psychology. With my prior knowledge of anatomy and physiology this made the transition into a body piercer quite simple. I became fully qualified in 2014 and became an accredited member of the UK Body Piercing Association. Since then I have embarked on many courses and hold certificates for a variety of subjects, this includes becoming the laser technician in 2016. My tattooing career began in 2017. Once I began my apprenticeship I knew that this was the path I wanted to be on. While on my apprenticeship i found a love for mandala and intricate lined designs, but knew the direction I wanted to go in was colour and geek culture designs. I was always inspired by artists such as Salvador Dali and Katsushika Hokusai. Since being a teenager I have always had a keen interest in Japan and Japanese culture and began to learn the language in late 2017. I like finding beauty in the most unusual places. I am a firm believer that randomness and tattoos that make you smile are one of life’s simple pleasures. As a young child I was always an introvert and tattoos allowed me to put my personality on my skin for the world to see, and it brings me great pleasure to encourage others to do this. In my artwork I am always inspired by Anime and Geek culture. I am also a keen reader and gamer, I’m usually at my happiest when drawing pieces which relate to fandoms. I have two very distinct art styles. One of these is bright colours, with intricate detail. I prefer doing watercolour pieces but also enjoy doing solid colour. My other style is what is known as sketch style. By doing pieces in this style it allows me to add small intricate detail into the pieces by building up lines and stippled shading. I love adding this effect to my coloured pieces to give the effect of a freshly drawn designs with the sketch marks still in place. I am grateful for the opportunity I have been given by Bob Vallance to put my artwork on people, and I have some of the best customers I could ask for.
