ARTISTS

KIRSTIE

Hi, I’m Kirstie :) I’m happy to take on a wide variety of styles, but I specialise in minimal linework tattoos, ignorant style, and illustrative fineline black and grey tattoos.

I also love doing any ornamental, or pattern based designs, and anything with dotwork or geometric elements.

I’m really inspired by surrealist art and love to do anything strange - the more abstract and oddball the better!

Fun Facts?

I collect vintage matchboxes, and am a charity shop fiend!

IVY

Hello, I'm Ivy! I specialise in hand-poke or what some people refer to as stick and poke tattoos. I like doing illustrative/ignorant style tattoos with added humour to my designs.

I enjoy doing ornamental or symbolic tattoos, as well as small and dainty pieces! Yes bab, I will happily do a tiny tat for you!

I usually get my inspirations from pop culture and my love of animals, combined with my sense of humour :)

Fun Facts?

My clients look at me strangely when I say I love Hyenas but I do. I'm also a Marvel fan, especially Rogue (X-Men) from the Jim Lee and Chris Claremont era!

If there is a class above the top, then KTREW is in it! I recently got my first tattoo from her and I love the outcome just as much as I loved the sitting! KTREW offers a truly personal touch to her talents and excels in her level of detail! Highly recommended for those that want a beautiful tattoo made with real care and passion! :)

I can't recommend KTREW Tattoo enough. Kirstie came up with a design that I absolutely adored and made my first tattoo a really pleasant experience. I was really nervous but Kirstie was really gentle and made sure I was comfortable throughout. I couldn't be happier with the process and results. Thanks again Kirstie! ❤
