My name is Chris. I’m 35. I grew up around Aldershot. I have been tattooing for almost 4 years. I have loved to draw and do all forms of artwork for as long as I can remember. It truly has been a lifelong obsession. I always wanted to tattoo but never had the opportunity until Clive Charles saw my work and took me on as an apprentice. I was determined to learn everything to do with tattooing from the start. I picked up tattooing quite quickly, and the new obsession started where my imagination could run riot. I got noticed by Duncan O’Neil in a shop in my hometown where I have been cultivating my work and progressing into the artist I want to become.

I mainly work in black and grey, but that’s mainly what comes my way. I do love doing colour, and  I can honestly say I love and appreciate all styles of tattooing. I try to create tattoos in all styles as I think you can learn from everyone of them. I also enjoy tattooing them all, but if I had to pick a style that is my favourite to tattoo would be illustrative dark surrealism or Neo traditional at the moment. I feel like I’m slowly coming into my own unique style, which is exciting, and I’m really enjoying tattooing. I am currently trying to push more into freehand tattoos.
