Hettie Baker

Tattoo artist Hettie Baker has been interested in art from a young age, pursuing this passion while growing up and going on to complete a degree in fine art. After serving a tattoo apprenticeship which she finished in 2015, she has been tattooing professionally ever since.

Most of Hettie’s work is influenced by nature and the shapes and colours seen in this area, using expressive sketchy marks to create sharp and precise tattoos. During her art studies, she made a lot of etchings due to a fascination with the little details, while also enjoying the process of creating oil paintings and textures. She now uses these techniques in her tattooing, viewing the skin as another medium to work on.

Jessie Foakes

I fell into tattooing by pure luck... I've been tattooing just over 5 years. I do the style I do as its how I see everything, I can't stick to following the lines as my brain just doesn't function like that.. I love working with shapes and simply seeing where the design will take me their and then. It's like a surprise for both of us at the end of the piece.

Andrei Tudor

Andrei has always been attracted to art and expressed his artistic sense through various forms (including painting, watercolour, mosaic and pencil). He believes art is a lifestyle, not just a job, which is why he graduated from Art School and University. He feels tattoos are appreciated because it’s an “area where not many people arrive and not many excel.”

Andrei is attracted to realism and surrealism, creating an original design for each client and transposing their idea using his artistic vision to see the composition. Art on the skin is fascinating because each client is a canvas walking around the world and everything we see.

Alexandra Ispas

Alexandra has always had a passion for art, expressing her ideas through drawing and painting. She attended both Art School and University, achieving a Master’s Degree while developing her artistic sense. Approaching a multitude of styles, from oil painting on canvas to street art, Alexandra believes her art and ideas come straight from the soul.

Artistic creativity is an extension of the self in a symbolic form. Art talks about artists and their lives, so they must be able to recognise themselves in it. In most tattoos, Alexandra’s approach is a realistic style because she likes to emphasise as much as possible the emotions they can bring out.
