Ollie
My name is Ollie, born and raised in North Yorkshire.
Currently in the big city where im making my career a tattooist and a barista.
Since a young lad I’ve been wanting to get and do tattoos, whether it’s drawing on myself or on other people. It’s been a passion of mine since a young age.
I’ve always been fascinated with the technique of handpoke. I think it’s a beautiful and intimate way to get a tattoo that is meaningful to the person. It adds a texture to the tattoo that you normally can’t get with machine.
Since being in the big city I’ve been blessed enough to collaborate with artists and bands. creating illustrative designs, artwork, merch and designs for them.
Today I’m able to continue and hone in on my own artistic expression and develop my technique. Using and hanpokes, tattooing and illustrations with my own unique perspective.
I’ve been a handpoke artist for two years, now I am lucky enough to be learning how to machine tattoo during my time here.
