How long have you been apprenticing at Loco Tattoo for?
I’ve been Loco’s tattoo apprentice for 4 months now but had been working as the Loco Manager/Receptionist for 3 years prior to that
Where did you grow up & what where you doing before being an apprentice?
​
I was born and raised in New Zealand, and made the big move to Australia in 2011. Before working at Loco, I was in hospitality, working at Draculas Cabernet Restaurant as a Voo Doo vampire/witch
Are you a self thought artist or are you learning to draw now you are in a studio?
To be honest, a bit of both! I had been drawing since I was a kid but I really didn’t know what I was capable of until I was the Loco manager/receptionist. I had picked up a TON of tips and tricks from the artists at Loco Tattoo and it really helped me sharpen my skills & improve my work.
What is your favourite style of tattooing you would like to learn and specialise in?
Realism, for sure!
What art mediums do you do?
Graphite on paper, oil and acrylic paints on canvas and charcoal drawings as well as special FX makeup and face/body painting
​
What's the best advice you'd give someone looking to get into the industry.
Draw, draw and DRAW. You can never have too much practice.
