James's Q & A

Before tattooing I worked for 8 years as either a firefighter or a supervisor in a women’s clothes shop. You decide.

I specialise in realism. I especially enjoy portrait work and Japanese styles!

SLEEEEP. I also play the piano and go to hotdog eating contests.

Seeing the client’s reaction, always. Makes all the hard work worth while seeing them so happy with their new tat. That and lunch.

Every tattoo is meaningful and I’ve done many tattoos for a variety of different reasons I couldn’t pick one. Remember people, tattoos with meaning are lovely but a tattoo can also be just about wanting to decorate yourself. It’s your body and what you do with it will be meaningful to you in your own way.
