Tattoo Artist
The Clients are what I like most about my job, their stories and personalities. I get to bring their ideas to life and have the honour of being part of their journey. The Industry has always been exciting and it has been great to watch it evolve over the last 16 years, I'm glad I'm part of it.
I'm a YouTuber and gamer so I'd say they're my favourite hobbies, I've also written music since I was a kid so I've got a lot of love for that.
I listen to so much music, Aesop Rock, Otis Redding, City and Colour, Alexis on fire, Counting Crows, as far as a favourite I'm not sure I have one. My list of dislikes is growing with age but mostly cruelty, ignorance and narcissism.
Fun fact... I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow in the knee.
The tattooing industry has given me lifelong friends in both fellow Artists and clients, the apprenticeship never ends so long as you keep yourself open to learning and that in itself is the most exciting thing for me, everyday, every client is different. I have recently taken up Fishing, I am hooked (don’t all laugh at once) on my days off you’ll often find me staring at a large body of water in an amusing attempt to catch a fish that is most definitely stronger than myself… when I’m not trying to catch a fish, I’m an avid fan of anything related to Music, I play (or try to anyway) guitar. I have nearly 3000 songs on my Spotify, Reggae, Nu Metal, Delta Blues, the list goes on, I think it’s important for me not to generalise my music to one genre as there’s so much out there to enjoy.
I dislike when my vape starts flashing and the Pain from being Tattooed!
Fun Fact: I have travelled an awful lot for my 25 years of being here, my favourite place on Earth is a place called Hanoi in Vietnam.

Tattoo Artist
I love the industry because its a cool mix of creativity and self expression. I enjoy getting to help people express their creativity and unique style through piercing!
I love doing crafty things like cross stitching, crocheting, miniature figure paintings, playing video games, generally old lady and nerdy hobbies. I listen to a lot of random music styles from Hozier, In her own words, Moose Blood, Parkway drive, Ghost inside and A Day to Remember, it varies day to day!
I dislike the texture of a lot of food even if it tastes great (R.I.P Mochi)
Fun Fact: People always tell me my memory is almost photographic because I can remember a lot of (useless) specific things but i'm awful at remembering names.

BECKY
Junior Tattoo Artist
I'm truly passionate about tattooing because it allows me to express my creativity and make art that lasts a lifetime. When I'm not in the studio, I love to go for walks in nature and camping. My favourite music to listen to is old school R&B and garage music.
Fun fact: I used to own a pony call Floss the Oss!
MIKE
Laser Technician
I love the friendships that I've made over the years in this industry. My favourite things to do are hanging out with my daughter, Laine, and playing music.
I love all types of music, mainly guitar based bands. If I had to pick I'd say my favourite band are NoFx, closely followed by a lot of other bands!
I have too many dislikes to list!
Fun Fact: I can feel when it's raining before anyone else!
JAZ
Tooth Gem Technician
I'm so glad that I'm able to do tooth gems within a tattoo studio, as I love the environment and I love that I'm able to be surrounded by creative people!
I really enjoy going to see live music and I also studied makeup throughout college and uni, so I still love to experiment with makeup on myself and on models.
My music taste is all over the place, for example in a year I went to see Doja cat and slipknot....
Fun Fact: I can open glass bottles with my teeth if that counts (Do not recommend doing this if you have Tooth Gems.... Just Saying)
