About Me
I’m a black & grey realism tattoo artist working from a private appointment-only studio in Ashford, Kent, with regular guest spots in central London. I specialise in portrait tattoos, symbolic realism, and conscious tattooing — using smooth gradients, fine detail, and deeply personal storytelling.My style blends spiritual symbolism, Chicano influences, and a sacred aesthetic to create tattoos that feel meaningful and powerful. Whether you're after a full sleeve or a portrait session, each design is crafted with intention and flow.• Sessions are booked by time:
– Half Day (0–3 hrs)
– Full Day (3–6 hrs)
– Long Day / Portraits (6–10 hrs)A non-refundable booking fee is required, and all enquiries are privately reviewed before confirming availability.

Client Stories & Testimonials
"The portrait David did of my mum brought tears to my eyes. It’s honestly like having her with me forever. His attention to detail is unreal."— Melissa R."I’ve had work done all over Kent, but David’s symbolic sleeve was something else. Every detail had meaning. The whole experience felt spiritual, not just a tattoo."— Tariq E."It’s rare to find an artist who actually listens and turns your vision into something better than you imagined. My healed piece still looks fresh months later — solid artist and top guy."— Liam B.
