His main influences over the years have been the likes of Phil Ellis, Guy Atchison, Filip Leu & Stephane Chaudesaigues.

One of the particular qualities of Paul’s talent is for customers to walk into the studio with their own designs and walk out with a piece of artwork better than they could have possibly imagined. You will also be safe in the knowledge that he will never do the same tattoo twice.

The studio itself, located in Hartlepool, is a highly professional outfit fully health registered and equipped with the highest quality equipment. It should also be noted that Paul uses brand new needles for each customer, fully sterilised and disposed of safely after every use.

As Paul is a member of the T.P.I (Tattoo & Piercing Industry) and the B.G.T.A (British Guild of Tattoo Artists), you know you are in good hands. For those of you who are looking for their first tattoo or to add to your ever-growing collection, you will experience a relaxed atmosphere and a service which is second to none. Tattoo’s are usually by appointment only, but Paul will always try to accommodate his customers by squeezing people in on the same day if possible. He will even work later than the standard 9-5 work hours if a client finds it hard to get in during office hours.

Not only does the studio offer the best in tattoo artwork, but if piercing is your thing then this can be easily catered for by Paul’s partner Elaine. A fully qualified and experienced specialist in the piercing field, Elaine can offer excellent quality piercing along with a great after care service.

Elaine uses 100% clinical & hygienic equipment, using only the recommended Titanium made products which do not cause allergic reactions or inflammation, unlike surgical steel and other such products.
