Justice (she/her)
Tattoo artist
Justice is an afro-indigenous artist from East London who has always had the love for art and had recently found her calling in tattooing. From a very young age, art has always been a thing that she was passionate about but always had trouble sticking to one artstyle as she loved to try many. This is why tattooing became a great opportunity for her to continue to learn many artstyle's and also pursue art.
She specialises in floral, black and grey linework tattoos but has been working up to doing micro realism and coloured tattoos. As she has never been a person to stick with one style, she would never decline an opportunity to try something new.
Justice has worked on all sorts of skin types and skin tones and considers herself an artist for all as she has worked hard and still is working hard to educate herself on different types of skin for her clients to feel at ease while getting tattooed by her. Asking questions are a must to her and she would be happy to answer any and how many her clients and potential clients have as she believes that you should be 100% happy with the tattoo you're getting!♡

Alex (he/him)
Tattoo Artist
I graduated from Art school, then Fine arts Academy and completed masters in design in Newcastle University.
Over the years, I’ve gained experience across various creative fields, such as drawing, sculpting, painting, and even Urban Design, but tattooing is where my real passion lies.
Some facts about me: I was born in the United States but raised in Moldova, a small country with a lot of character. I have big love for animals and nature - at one point, I even worked in a zoo. Part of my job involved handling anacondas and crocodiles—an interesting task, to say the least!
I also enjoy collecting unusual musical instruments such as kalimba, singing bowl, tongue drum and other. Moreover, l know how to play each one of them.
My tattoo work is primarily black and gray in illustrative style, often focused on nature-inspired themes like plants, animals, and occasionally magical or spiritual scenery. However, I’m flexible with other styles as well and would be happy to bring client’s vision to life!
