about Ash.
Now in my 15th year working in the industry, my practice blends technical precision with artistic exploration. I specialise in abstract blackwork, geometric composition, and pattern-based design drawing heavily from nature, architecture, and anatomy to create tattoos that are both striking and personal.
Every piece I create is fully bespoke, designed to flow with the body and speak to the individual wearing it. My work is rooted in patience, craftsmanship, and a long-standing commitment to evolution - both mine and my clients’.
I’m as invested as my clients. My own body charts over 17 years of exploration in black work and pattern based tattooing, and I’ve experienced an extensive cover-up process firsthand. That personal journey shapes the care, pacing, and attention I can now bring to every session.
I operate from a private, by-appointment-only studio in the Cotswolds. It’s a calm, considered space where each project is given the time and attention it deserves.
Whether you’re looking to mark a moment, begin something new, or add to an existing collection, I aim to offer a grounded, thoughtful, and collaborative experience.
