from Art&Soul Tattoos
Give us some insight into your tattoo career and how it first started out?
I have always been fascinated and drawn to art and I started doing graffiti in my teens. I was given the opportunity to be an apprenticeship and took the step of leaving the corporate life behind and will never look back.
What style of tattoo do you enjoy creating the most and why?
I love doing custom lettering, just the freedom of shaping and bending the letters, creating your own unique piece.
How would you best sum up the industry today compared to ten years ago?
I find it has grown tremendously over the years, everything is so advanced now with the technology we have today. Also the styles and quality of work being put out there is totally insane.
