My Work

Whilst Japanese and large scale neo-traditional blackwork or modern tribal are my favourite styles of tattoos to complete, I have always taken pride in being able to execute a wide variety of tattoo styles. I am very happy and confident in producing black and grey, bold colour neo-traditional, simpler traditional and black and grey biomechanical tattoos.

Full time since 2006

I started my path with Happy at Mischief Moon, tattooing there for 8.5 years whilst cementing my understanding of the tattoo application and solidifying the belief system that I hold today. Once moving on, I tattooed with LDF for 4.5 years, then had a short stint in Newtown at Thirteen Feet Tattoo. Following this i then did several guest spots in NSW at Classic, Lighthouse and Ink Culture, and based myself close to home at 359 while we all rode the bumpy couple of years of lockdown.
I am now thoroughly happy, firmly placed at a private studio, Ink Culture Collective in Bankstown, South Western Sydney.

Influences

Growing up as a teenager of the 90s, the allure of tattoos were steeped in mystery within underground subcultures very far from the prominence we experience today. I wasn’t exposed to the harder service man/woman or biker type influences but instead, the heavy metal and skater/bmx/mountain bike subcultures that I was a part of.
Artistically, some of my greatest influences have been the warped minds of artists such as H.R.Giger and Salvador Dali. Now that I tattoo, my inspiration comes from a wide range of sources including modern tattooists, traditional Japanese artists, woodworkers, designers, graphic artists and everything in between.

Creative Avenues

In a world completely saturated with digital visual stimulation, I am trying to find a more balanced creative path. Painting has definitely become a far more important aspect of my creative practise and I plan to continue delving deeper into that part of my tattooing and life. I have also recently recognised the need for other creative avenues away from tattooing and look forward to exploring new outlets such as woodworking, sculpture and jewellery making.
