Hey! I’m Pickles :)

I started professionally tattooing in 2013 and I haven’t looked back since! I have always been very artistic, and when I found tattooing I knew right away that I found my calling! My art style has evolved significantly throughout my tattoo journey and I still look forward to it evolving more and more each day!

When I am not tattooing or drawing, you can normally find me deep into a comic book, or rewatching Kevin Smith movies for the 100th time. I am a huge sneaker head and I love all and any animals. (I’d love to meet all your pets but please don’t bring them to your appointment). Jack Sparrow will also forever hold a special place in my heart alongside Tim Burton. But, enough about that, let’s get back to tattooing.

My art style is very heavily influenced by, you guessed it, comic art. I love tattooing in an illustrative style with loooots of detail and lots of line work.

I really enjoy tattooing everything and anything nerdy! From your favourite comic character, to your favourite video game and back around to your favourite movie, I’M IN! (count in anything nostalgic too, I’m a 90’s kid)

I also really do enjoy tattooing floral designs, intricate line work designs and large scale black and grey.

I do include linework in ALL of my tattoos, and as I do welcome most styles, I do NOT tattoo any photo realism or watercolour. (There are however a lot of amazing photo realism and watercolour artists around, I will be more than happy to suggest one.)

I love being given full creative control with your tattoo design but I do need some guidance from you to make it perfect and custom just for you! I’d love to hear your idea, please head over to my booking page for more information!
