Rooted in some of the oldest forms of tattooing, from tribal markings to early cultural practices, blackwork has always been about more.
Today, it’s often misunderstood as minimal or straightforward. In reality, it demands precision, balance and a deep understanding of contrast, flow and composition.
Done well, it’s one of the most technically demanding styles there is.

These are some examples of the heavier side of my work. Which I understand isn’t for everyone but I love it the same.
Tattoos in this realm hold a power for me that goes beyond the aesthetic. As I have had quite abit of heavy black myself this comes from my experience and some others I have talked to. It changes the way you feel about your body.
What I’m trying to get at is that tattoos can be feeling not just something to look at. They can change your life and give you a confidence to go into the world that isn’t always on your side.
Thanks for reading if you got this far.
Love and appreciate you all!! 🖤
