Craig began tattooing at the age of 24 in Poole in 2011. Initially Craig went on to university to study graphic design which was a move built up from drawing from a young age.

He went on to turn his creative hobby into a career by self-teaching tattooing and putting his drawing skills into art. Today his hobby turned career has earnt a helping of clientele and a large portfolio packed full of body art which continues to grow whilst he works in Bournemouth.

ARTIST COLOUR & STYLES
Black and Grey Realism and Portraits

Portraits and Realism is most definitely Craig’s forte. He has done other styles but has fallen deep into black and grey work.

I have tried many styles, but I get most satisfaction from portraits and realism.

Throughout his portfolio Craig has utilised his skill in using Grey-wash tones to produce top quality work. Whether it be an animal portrait or a traditional skull and rose back piece, Craig uses his shading expertise to get the right tone for the piece and also makes impact with the finishing whites too.
