Owner, Artist

Over the past 18 years, I have crafted a distinguished career as a tattoo artist, evolving from the humble beginnings of an apprenticeship under the watchful eyes of Paul Bennit and Hilly Dudsen. Guided by Paul, a master in Japanese tattoo art, I developed a profound respect and skill set that still influences my work today. Although my focus has shifted to specialising in black and grey realism and portraits, the vibrancy and complexity of Japanese tattooing continue to inspire elements of my designs, along with the occasional Polynesian piece, a nod to the styles that were more prevalent when I began my career.

My journey through the tattooing world has taken me across various towns—from Milton Keynes to Bedford, and from Northampton to Leighton Buzzard. Each location has contributed to my growth and style, culminating in the opening of my own tattoo studio in Apsley, Hemel Hempstead. This studio is not just a workplace but a canvas where I express my passion for tattooing and where every tattoo reflects my dedication.

When he’s not moshing around at concerts or playing with Pokemon cards, Thomas loves executing bright and bold tattoos making ‘bold will hold’ true to his craft. His style predominantly features American traditional work with more detailed elements straying away from the boundaries of trad. As well as other colour work with the exception of doing dark gothic blackwork pieces and some delicate fineline. His work is very reflective of his interests of Star Wars, Fallout, Pokémon or band related imagery. Thomas has also traveled to tattoo bands such as; Northlane, The Hunna, Normandie, TEN56, Novelists, WARGASM, Cabal, Hacktivist and SHVPES with many more being add upon his travels.

From a young age, I’ve been captivated by the world of tattooing, immersing myself in TV shows and pouring over every tattoo book I could get my hands on. My journey into the world of art began with graffiti, a passion that eventually led me to the art of tattooing. Influenced by the bold lines and vibrant colors of graffiti, I’ve developed a unique style that sets me apart. Specializing in traditional, neo-traditional, lettering, and cartoons, my work is characterized by bold lines, vivid colors, and a touch of whimsy. These styles resonate with me, but I’m always eager to push boundaries and explore new artistic horizons. Whether you’re looking for a classic design or something entirely original, I’m ready to bring your vision to life with creativity and precision.
