Having lost three aunts (and almost one uncle) to breast cancer, it’s a subject which is very close to my heart.

When I discovered my cousin had been waiting over six years for post cancer surgery nipple tattoos, I wanted to use my skills as a professional tattoo artist to help her. Needless to say, she was over the moon with her new 3D nipples and areola and was equally happy that she’d finally reached the end of her breast cancer journey.

Having seen what a big impact that two relatively small tattoos can make, I now offer high quality 3D areola tattoos alongside my creative tattoo work so that other women and men can bring an end to their often very long wait for new nipples.

As a body art tattooist, I already fully understood the intricacies of and am experienced in tattooing over scar tissue, but when it came to post cancer nipple tattoos I needed to learn new skills to ensure I get the same high quality results with radiation-damaged skin that I get when I’m tattooing ‘normal’ skin.

What else can I tell you about myself?

I was born in London, I studied art at college and graphic design at uni. I’m married to Dan and together we have three ‘kids’ aged 12, 16, and 20.

I have been a professional artist for my whole career and in 2022 I opened my own tattoo studio in Sidcup, south east London.

As well as realistic 3D nipple tattoos, I also specialise in memorial family portrait tattoos (see here).

Thanks for reading down this far. If you have any questions that aren’t covered on my FAQs page you’re very welcome to contact me here.
