Tattooing
There are many, many artists that I’ve had the good fortune to meet either at shows, guest spots away or visitors to Vere Street so I’m going to keep it to the guys that have come down to create at my shop so that the list doesn’t become overwhelming right now.
Simon Head
Ren Shorney
Dom Turner
Ant Bate
Carl Donovan
Music
I’ve had the immense pleasure of being part of the South Wales music scene for the last 10 years, writing for and playing in the metalcore band Evilive, folk outfit; Jack Ellis and have presently joined pop-punk metalheads, Exit to Main Menu.
Evilive

Yashin will always have a special place in my heart after taking me on the road for my first tour tattooing across Europe. Unfortunately the lads have ceased making music together but I didn’t want to miss them out here. I’ve also added two of the projects that came after. Thanks for the memories guys!
Local South Wales acts that are still going, that I’ve had the opportunity to tattoo members of:
Tides of Sulfur
Lacertilia
Sacred Frequencies
GZUS
Jake Ellis Scott
Continents
Holding absence
Phil Campbell and the bastard sons
Throwing knives
Every person on this list is a treasure and I'm greatful for their most excellent company. Three cheers to many more years or growing, creating, collaborating, dreaming and being.
