After a lot of thought and reflection, I’ve made the decision to retire from tattooing in 9 months’ time.
This hasn’t been an easy decision for me to make. Tattooing has been such a huge part of my life for many years, and it’s given me more than I could ever put into words. From the incredible people I’ve met, to the stories shared during appointments, to the trust clients placed in me to create something permanent and meaningful, it’s been an unforgettable journey.
I wanted to share this update now so that anyone who has been thinking about booking in still has the opportunity. If you have unfinished work you’d like completed, an idea you’ve always wanted me to bring to life, or a larger project you’ve been putting off, now is the time to get in touch.
As a thank you for all the support over the years, I’ll also be reducing my rate from £80 to £50 per hour for the remainder of my time tattooing. For larger pieces, especially sleeves and ongoing projects, this will make a significant difference to the overall cost, and I’d love to spend these final months creating as much meaningful work as possible.
Appointments will be offered on a first come, first served basis until my diary is full, so if you’d like to secure a spot, please send me a message.
Most importantly, thank you.
Thank you to every single person who trusted me, supported my work, recommended me to friends, travelled to see me, or simply followed along over the years. You’ve all played a part in this chapter of my life, and I’ll always be grateful for the memories, the conversations, the laughs, and the lifelong connections that came from tattooing.
These next 9 months will be very special to me, and I’m looking forward to finishing this chapter the best way possible by creating meaningful tattoos with amazing people one last time.
