Artists

James Lang

James brings a grounded balance of movement, tradition, and fine craftsmanship to his tattooing, with a dedicated focus on traditional Japanese imagery, wildlife, and botanical illustration. Drawing from the bold linework, flow, and visual weight of classic Irezumi, his Japanese pieces emphasize harmony with the body's natural contours. Alongside this, his botanical and wildlife designs reflect a deep appreciation for the natural world, combining organic textures and precise detailing to give life to flora and fauna on the skin. Known for an intentional and collaborative process, James creates enduring, timeless designs tailored to complement both the individual and the placement

Kieran Ingram

Kieran specialises in medieval woodcut and etching inspired blackwork. His work draws heavily on historical manuscripts, classical folklore, alchemical motifs, and botanical subjects. His work is defined by meticulous line control that uses precise cross-hatching with a keen eye for how classical compositions flow across the body’s anatomy. He is available for custom work and open to translating traditional woodcuts and etchings into tattoos.
