17 years of experience creating black & grey portrait tattoos in Manchester, designed to honour the people, pets, and icons that mean the most to you.
Portrait tattoos are all about connection, the spark in the eyes, the light on the skin, and the story behind the face. That’s why I’ve dedicated years to mastering black & grey portrait realism. I’m still fully invested in making sure every portrait I create is better than the last. My work combines technical precision with artistic storytelling to capture not just a likeness, but the life behind it.

With nearly two decades as a tattoo artist, I pour everything I’ve learned into each portrait, from mixing my own custom shades of ink to refining the shading and tonal techniques I’ve developed over the years. The result? A portrait that looks alive, holds its detail, and stops people in their tracks.
+ START YOUR PORTRAIT TATTOO
Every portrait starts with a conversation...
I love hearing the stories behind the faces you want to honour. As you speak, I start visualising how to capture that likeness through contrast, lighting, and fine detail. Once I understand your vision, I’ll design a custom portrait tattoo ready to come alive under the skin during an unforgettable, good-vibe tattoo experience.
To get the best result, please include the following when you get in touch:
- A high-quality, well-lit reference photo (the better the photo, the closer the likeness).
- Who or what the portrait is of (family, pet, or icon).
- Placement on the body.
- Approximate size.
I personally reply to every enquiry to discuss your ideas and refine your reference image.
