About me

Fitzroy tattoo artist and Umbra co-founder, working across black and grey realism, illustrative, neo-traditional and Japanese. One-off, story-driven pieces that sit between realism and illustration, drawn from scratch with references only where they earn their place.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer consultations?

Yes, and they're free. Larger pieces like sleeves, back pieces and leg pieces start with a consultation at Umbra in Fitzroy, where we plan the design, placement, size and number of sessions together before anything is booked. Smaller pieces can often be quoted and booked straight away.

Can I get any design I want?

Every piece I tattoo is custom and drawn for one client only. Bring your idea, references and story, and I'll design something that fits your body and holds up over time. I'm happiest in black and grey realism, illustrative, neo-traditional and Japanese, and I'll always be honest if an idea suits a different artist at Umbra better.
