I started my career around 13 years ago in Wales.
Things were difficult to begin with, being self-taught and tattooing from home but as time progressed along with my experience of tattoo procedure, I quickly realized that this was without doubt the lifestyle for me.

About Us - Welcome to the website :-)
I use the term “lifestyle” rather than “job” because as any honest tattoo artist will tell you, it very quickly becomes a way of life.
I feel very privileged to do the work I do and am really happy about the fact that I have my artwork walking around in so many different countries all over the world. I owe a lot to fellow tattooists and people who have helped me along the way.
It wasn’t long before it was time to open my own studio in 1999 back in Wales. I worked there happily for 3 years before deciding it was time to leave the small town behind and head for bigger studios, tattooing alongside like-minded artists. So I headed for Kent and began my new lifestyle in Medway Tattoo and Piercing Center where I worked with some amazing artists, one in particular being Ray Hunt, to whom I owe a great deal, as well as his lovely wife Jayne.
After 3 years at Medway I headed back to Wales where I spent 2 years on and off in Skin and Ink, Swansea. In those last 5 years I was lucky enough to have my work featured in many tattoo and biker magazines such as Skin Deep, Skin Shots, Backstreet Heroes and A.W.O.L.

Recent History
Then I was offered a position in Cyprus at Kool Tattoo, instantly falling in love with the Island I decided this is where I wanted to call home and 4 years later I decided to open my own studio in Pernera, Cyprus where I am currently based and extremely happy.
As Pernera has a seven month tourist season I have been lucky enough to be able to travel during the winter months and in 2008 I decided to take my family and work in Ontario, Canada for a month in Perfect Image Tattoo Studio, just to broaden my horizons and see how those guys do things over the pond. While there I met some extremely talented artists and I hope, some life-long friends.
I could not ask for more, doing what I love, next to the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean under warm, sunny skies and exploring other countries through the winter. It’s a dream come true for me but none of it would be possible without my gorgeous fiancee, Reanna Bailey, who has helped and supported me constantly. As well as my good friend John Haslam who owns the very popular bowling alley and bar, Bowland, in neighboring Protaras. Thank-you both.
Here’s to many more happy years tattooing in the sun.

Tattoos are like stories - they're symbolic of the important moments in your life. Sitting down, talking about where you got each tattoo and what it symbolises, is really beautiful.'
Pamela Anderson
"My skin is my canvas. I look at my skin as something of a living diary because all my tattoos represent a time in my life. I never wish to shut the door on my past so I carry it all with me."
