Custom tattoo work created from my private studio in Eastbourne. I specialise in ornamental, mandala, floral, dotwork and bold decorative designs, as well as one off pieces created around your ideas.
Whether you already know exactly what you want or only have the start of an idea, send me an enquiry and I’ll help you choose the right size, placement and session.

Available Tattoo Designs
Browse my pre-drawn tattoo designs currently available. Final prices depend on the size and placement, so once you’ve found one you love, send me an enquiry with the design for an exact quote.
Looking for something larger or customised, please use the tattoo form instead.
MINI FLASH
Want something small, simple and ready to go? My mini flash designs are repeatable linework tattoos available at a set size and price, so they can be booked directly through Booksy without completing a custom tattoo enquiry first.
Mini flash is usually suitable for arms and legs. Please check the design details before booking, as changes to the size, placement or design may require a different appointment and price.
Just a little preview… There are loads more mini flash designs available to view and book directly through booksy!

FAQS:
How do I know which tattoo session I need?
You don’t need to work this out yourself. Send me your tattoo idea, placement, approximate size and any reference images through the enquiry form, and I’ll recommend the most suitable session for you.
When will I see my design?
I usually work on custom designs during the week of your appointment. I’ll send it over for you to look through, giving us time to make any final tweaks and make sure everything feels right before tattoo day.
Can I change the size or placement?
Yes, we can confirm the final size and placement together before tattooing. Larger changes from the original enquiry may affect the time needed and the final price.
Do you do cover-ups and reworks?
Yes, depending on the existing tattoo and what can realistically be achieved. Please upload a clear, well-lit photo of the tattoo through the enquiry form so I can assess it properly before giving you a quote.
Can I use numbing cream?
Yes, you may apply your own numbing cream before your appointment. Please use a reputable product, follow the manufacturer’s instructions exactly, complete a patch test beforehand and check that it is suitable for you. You are responsible for purchasing, applying and using it correctly. Please tell me in advance if you plan to use it.
Can I bring someone with me?
Please ask before bringing anyone, as the studio is private and space is limited. One person may be allowed depending on the appointment, but coming alone is usually recommended so the environment stays calm and focused.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the area being tattooed. Please avoid anything expensive or delicate, as tattoo ink may stain clothing. For example, wear shorts for thigh tattoos, a vest for shoulder work or loose clothing that can be moved easily without making you uncomfortable.
Should I eat before my appointment?
Yes, please eat a proper meal before coming and make sure you are well hydrated. Bringing a sugary drink and a snack is also helpful, especially for longer appointments.
Is design and stencil time included in my session?
Yes. Your booked session includes design preparation, stencil placement, small adjustments made at the appointment and short breaks.
How long does a tattoo take to heal?
The surface of the tattoo usually settles within around two weeks, but the skin can take several weeks to heal fully. Healing varies depending on the size, placement, your skin and how well the aftercare is followed.
Full aftercare instructions will be explained at your appointment.
Do you tattoo under 18s?
No. You must be aged 18 or over to be tattooed, even with parental consent. Valid photographic identification may be requested before your appointment.
Can I get tattooed while pregnant or breastfeeding?
I do not tattoo anyone who is pregnant. Please contact me before booking if you are breastfeeding so we can discuss whether your appointment should be postponed.
Can you copy another artist’s tattoo exactly?
I can use reference images to understand the style, layout and details you like, but I won’t directly copy another artist’s custom work. Your design will be created especially for you.
Do you offer touch-ups?
Once your tattoo has healed fully, please send me a clear photo if you think an area needs checking. Touch-ups are assessed individually, as fading caused by healing, aftercare, picking, sun exposure or damage may not be included.
