BUGZ.

Gothic blackwork, fine-line and neo-traditional tattoos, made to sit on skin for life.

About

Twelve years, one obsession

I've been tattooing since 2014 and working out of my own private room in Lincoln, Lincolnshire since 2019. Everything is drawn from scratch: heavy blackwork, whisper-thin single-needle line work, etched illustrative pieces and neo-traditional work with a dark, gothic edge.

Sessions are one client at a time — no walk-ins, no rush, no shared soundtrack. We talk the idea through, I draw, and we only start when the design is right.
