About Me

Established 2008

I'm a Capetonian born and bred artist. Originally from Cape Town, South Africa. I've been tattooing since 2008.

I started out self taught and progress was extremely slow with very limited information in those years, but the passion for art kept me hungry to learn and keep pushing and keep chasing that hunger.

In 2017 I decided to take a massive leap of faith and immigrate to the UK to chase my career dreams and goals as I did not see many opportunities to grow as an artist in my country.

4 months of me being in the uk, I decided to quit drinking for good, my biggest crutch in life. Best decision I could ever make. I started painting to keep me busy and out of trouble and that alone took my art skill and colour theory to the next level.

All of a sudden, doors started opening for me, I kicked my addiction, kept my head down and steamrolled forward, pushing boundaries, blocking out the noise and striving for greatness. I still do.

Few years later, I opened my own studio, Final Chapter Tattoos.

My studio is located in the UK in the heart of greater Manchester in Hyde. I have another private studio in Ashton-under-Lyne too.

I specialise in colour realism and surrealism. I'm inspired by nature, indigenous tribes, and fantasy art.

I am very selective of the projects I take on and I have to be sure it's something I feel 100% comfortable with.

My work is absolutely free reign. If you want the best out of me, all I ask is your trust and commitment.

I continue to travel the world, doing conventions, guest spots and I also offer tattoo seminars.

I'm so grateful for tattooing. To be part of this sacred lifestyle and to be my absolute self. Tattooing saved my life.

I have won multiple awards all over the world including:

  • Best of show-Liverpool tattoo convention

  • Best of show-Buckley convention

  • 2nd place Best of show- Portsmouth

  • Best realism-southampton

  • Best realism- Portsmouth

  • Best Leg piece- Belfast

  • 2nd place Best realism- Rome tattoo convention and many more.

I've also featured in many top tattoo magazines worldwide including:

Tattoo Life, SkinArt, Total Tattoo, Global Tattoo Mag and many others too.
