Custom nature-inspired and graphic tattoos in Shrewsbury, UK.

Hello! I am a tattoo artist and artist based in Shrewsbury, UK. I co-owned and ran Modern Body Art tattoo studio in Birmingham from 1999 to 2021*, tattooed on and off in the early days and full-time since 2006. I closed MBA in October  2021, tattooed in a private studio in Birmingham until autumn 2024 before moving to Shrewsbury.

Like all artists, I don’t like to pin myself to one style but if you check out my portfolio below then you should get a feel for what the tattoos I do look like.

Ultimately I try and make a tattoo that is strong enough to last and look good today and also for years to come, whilst giving every customer an inclusive, pleasant, professional and safe experience.
I want every tattoo to be artistically interesting, technically clean and aesthetically pleasing. I am happy working big or small, colour or black and grey.

I have a mailing list where I very occasionally send out discounted designs, last-minute cancellations, offers on paintings for sale etc. You can sign up here. Alternatively, just follow me on IG.

If you would like to get tattooed by me, please get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.
