After 17 years of tattooing, the biggest chapter of my…

After 17 years of tattooing, the biggest chapter of my career is about to begin. This October, my fiancée @hermatestella and I will be opening the doors to 33° Degree Tattoo Studio @thirtythird.degree in the heart of Shoreditch. When I first picked up a tattoo machine, I could never have imagined where this journey would take me. The people I’ve met, the opportunities I’ve had, and the thousands of clients who’ve trusted me over the years have shaped me into the artist I am today. Every tattoo, every challenge, and every lesson has led to this moment. Before looking ahead, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone at Six Bullets Tattoo Studio @six_bullets_tattoo you’re family first and foremost . Thank you for the support, the friendships, the memories, and for being such an important part of my journey. I’ll always be grateful for everything we’ve shared together it’s been amazing growing with you over the last decade Most importantly, thank you to every single client who has chosen me over the last 17 years. Whether you’ve travelled across the country, recommended my work, or trusted me with something meaningful, you’ve helped make this possible. I genuinely wouldn’t be here without you @thirtythird.degree is the result of years of hard work, sacrifice, and belief. It’s a place we’ve poured everything into, and we can’t wait to share it with you. I’m also incredibly excited to announce that @bendunningtattoo will be joining us as part of the team. Ben is a brilliant artist a true friend biro a extraordinaire and I’m proud to have him alongside us as we begin this new chapter. We also have @tattoosbytaki joining us too a great artist with incredible potential for how long he’s been tattooing and I can’t wait to watch him grow with us Of course @crystalcanine will be making the smiles of east London that much shinier. We are currently taking applications for resident and guest artists. This isn’t just the opening of a new studio it’s the start of something we’ve dreamed about for a very long time. We can’t wait to welcome you through the doors this October. Here’s to the next chapter #londontattoostudio #shoreditch #33rddegreetattoo
