Drawing has been a constant in Chantelle's life since she was very young. Her favourite subject matter has always been between the human form or animals of any variation. She moved from drawing to mostly printmaking throughout school, and now she has thrown everything into tattooing, which she is very passionate about.

Chantelle loves hearing everyone’s ideas and bringing them to life, as she believes tattoos have a way of making people feel much more comfortable in their skin, and she loves being a part of that journey with them.

Her favourite styles to tattoo range from American traditional and Neo-traditional all the way to semi-realistic animals. Chantelle would love to hear from you and help you decorate your skin to express who you are!

Charlie

Charlie has been immersed in art from a young age. Raised by a talented painter for a grandad, Charlie's artistic journey started early, often doodling in school books which sometimes led to getting kicked out of class. This passion for art continued to grow, leading Charlie to study printmaking at art school.

Charlie has a love for comic books, album covers, 80’s gig posters, screen printing, heavy metal, punk rock, and, of course, old school tattoos. Recently, Charlie has also developed an interest in blackwork, ornamental tattooing, and cover-ups.

Drawing has been a constant in Charlie's life since childhood, with a favourite subject matter always being the human form or various animals. Moving from drawing to predominantly printmaking throughout school, Charlie has now devoted everything to tattooing, a craft for which there is immense passion.
