2024 marks 28 years in the industry for me as well as it being Katwalk Inks 7th birthday.
I couldn’t be prouder of what I have created, and the studio goes from strength to strength with every year that passes. With a little vision and a lot of hard work I created my dream of a studio that not only produces outstanding art but a place that is renowned for having an amazing atmosphere too. I always envisaged a studio that had more to offer than the norm, who’s artists are passionate about every piece of work, whether on skin or canvas, at Katwalk Ink we’ve achieved that. On a final note, my amazing team and I would like to welcome you to our studio. |

Hello, I'm Dean.
I've called the Birmingham area home for over fifteen years and have been tattooing throughout that time at various studios. I've happily settled at Katwalk Ink for the past nine years – time really does fly! I find that my best work comes to life when collaborating with individuals who have a clear idea of the piece they envision and how it fits on their body. This synergy leads to the creation of original and meaningful designs. In my artistic process, I draw inspiration from everyday cultural influences and the stories shared with me by those I've tattooed. Each person brings unique narratives and perspectives, enriching my designs with a broader context. Tattooing, being a highly personal experience, is all about telling your own story, not someone else's. If you're interested in getting a tattoo done by me, please feel free to drop me an email. I look forward to the opportunity to create a meaningful piece with you. |

Hey! I’m Elle
My dream has always been to be a Tattoo Artist, and my dream came true many years ago. I thrive off my ambition to create unique beautiful pieces just for you. I tattoo in many different media’s but my favourite being black and grey for the win!: realism, floral, animals, mythology, delicate fine line, you describe it and I’ll design it. My main focus as your artist is making sure your tattoo is special to you, and you feel comfortable. The art we wear on our skin will always have a deeper meaning to us and a story to tell, and not everyone will understand that and that’s okay!!because its what makes us who we are. I studied at BOA academy for 2 years passing my fine art course. I also passed my art in secondary school too, I always chose everything with art. Take a look at some of my designs and drop a message to book in. I look forward to meeting you and creating some amazing artwork, I didn’t choose Art…Art chose me. Yours sincerely Elle McAndrew. |

Hey, I’m Reiss!
For as long as I can remember I’ve been drawing every free moment I’ve gotten. I found my love for drawing watching cartoons and reading comic books as a kid. From the age of 14 I knew I wanted to become a tattoo artist and I’m now so happy to be an apprentice at Katwalk Ink with all the talented artists that work here! I studied animation at Staffordshire University because I knew from day one that I wanted to focus on illustrative tattooing; I wanted to create tattoos that looked like they’d jumped right off the screen or out of a comic book. I’ve wanted to be a tattoo artist for so long because I’ve always wanted to create art that not only looks cool, but also will be connected to the person receiving it for the rest of their life! I love the idea of creating art that will stick with somebody, and giving them a happy and exciting memory that can last them a lifetime! I can’t wait to continue my apprenticeship here at Katwalk Ink and see where life takes me on my tattooing journey! |
