I have been tattooing full time for two years, working in Oasis Tattoo Studio. For six years previous to this time i worked at a body piercer within the same store. I like to keep my style as diverse as possible, trying my hand at anything customers throw at me!I am artisitcally influenced by many other artists within the tattoo industry, such as: Steve Byrnes, Amanda Toy, Uncle Alan, Tiny Miss. Becca, Dawnii, Jeff Gougué, Nick Baxter, Leah Moule, Jason Butcher, Helen Brown, Jo Harrison, Joe Copobianco, Mo Coppoleta and Horriren to name just a few. Apart from other tattoo artists, i like to look at abstract, cubist and comtemporary artists for influence, such as: Dali, Escher, Alberto Vargas, Audrey Kawasaki, Junko Mizuno, Katsuishka Hokusai, Tara Mcphearson, Roman Dirge, Voltaire, Pierre et Gilles, David LaChappelle.The tattoo industry has come a long way since the early beginnings of artists and studios since Sailor Jerry, and i am constantly learning new skills. It is no longer prisoners and sailors that adorn their bodies with art, but people in higher management, people in the public eye and artists are constanly honing their abilities.With customer feedback and ideas, Needleworks are striving to become one of the best tattoo studios in Birmingham, and we can only aim for the best.[IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y190/pippa1703/Im age6.jpg[/IMG]
