OPEN 6 DAYS A WEEK!
In short, I am a Tattoo Artist and Illustrator based in Pretoria, South Africa. After completing my degree in BA Information Design, I started my journey to becoming a tattoo artist. Since 2010 I have apprenticed and worked with my mentor Tony Weintraud from Tattoo Tony Creations in Pretoria. A studio I still work from today.
I have attended multiple local and international tattoo conventions as well as worked in England for my good friend Mark Bester from Marked For Life Tattoos. I have also organized and run, alongside Tony and Stelio, our own local tattoo convention, The Pretoria Tattoo Show. I am always up for a challenge and striving for the best I can do for both myself and the industry.
Types of tattoos

black & grey tattoo
My primary and happiest medium to work in. Here is a selection of some of my favorite pieces. Each of the below featured tattoos took between 5 and 7 hours to complete.

A medium I don’t use often; however, I do love the occasional new school tattoo.
healed tattoo

In the modern world where filtered and photo-shopped photos are dominating social media, the only true test of a tattoo’s quality is how it looks healed. Especially considering that it’s on you forever.

Something I really love doing as I love the challenge. If the client is open minded, then we can really create some awesome pieces.
