About Me

I'm a Tattoo Artist and co-owner at Blank Canvas Tattoo & Art Studio, located at The Tannery in Christchurch.
My work is recognised for its painterly, watercolour style, drawing inspiration from the natural world and the surreal. I focus on creating bold, refined pieces that feel both organic and intentional, balancing strong visual impact with the longevity required for tattoos to stand the test of time.
Each design is approached with care and precision, tailored to the individual and crafted to sit naturally on the body.
Originally from the UK, I've been based in Christchurch for over a decade and now call Aotearoa home. When I'm not tattooing, you'll likely find me tramping off grid, immersed in native landscapes that continue to influence my work. I've developed a deep appreciation for New Zealand's flora and fauna.

Consultation Process
Every piece begins with a focused consultation, where I take my time to understand your ideas, references and the overall direction you want to achieve.
From there, I use my experience and artistic judgement to develop a custom design tailored specifically to you. My goal is to create artwork that not only looks strong on the day, but continues to hold its quality for years to come.
Consultations are relaxed and straightforward, with clear guidance throughout the process so you feel confident moving forward.
