Hello from Leeds

[Guerillaneedles]

Hi everyone, I'm new here. Always looking to learn and contribute to this industry I love so much! Been tattooing just under 2 years (including my apprenticeship). Apprenticed under Rob Ratcliffe at the Border Rose tattoo in Littleborough (near Manchester). Now working at Red Tattoo and Piercing in Leeds Corn Exchange. I collect tattoos as well, got work from Stu Pagdin, Guen Douglas, Wendy Pham, Danielle Rose, Lucy O'connor, Nicole Lowe, Sam Smith (scrapie on instagram), just about to get something from Sneaky Mitch. I love collecting! It's a great way for me to learn, and I love wearing my art collection. I also paint, watercolour and liquid acrylics mainly. Always looking to push myself in all areas, I just want to get better!

Wendy and Mitch have been on my short list for some time now . . .

Yes I'm very lucky to have a nice collection. Took a big break from being tattooed between 21 and 27 which meant I not only grew up a bit, but tattooing went stellar in the meantime!

I know Elliott 's work (in fact he is going to be doing a cover up for me later this year, once I've been sufficiently lasered!) not heard of Olivia but work looks nice, very smooth.
