Black Opal

Hi I’m Martin, the resident colour artist.

I love tattooing colour work. I try to make my colours vibrant and exciting, having studied colour theory in depth, I apply this to my work and make the colours pop and complement each other.

I specialise in anime. I eat, breathe, and sleep anime, so it makes sense I tattoo it too!

Being a tattoo artist is brilliant, but nothing can beat being a dad.

When I’m not watching Bluey with my girls or playing Malifaux with my lad, I’m geeking it out at a Friday game club and playing Monday night Hero Quest with guys at the studio.

Disclaimer: I enjoy reading Malifaux lore in the bath!

I’m always on the lookout for different ways to be creative and to expand on my love for colour work.

I’ve got a large catalogue of anime, Disney & and comic book characters. If I’m given free rein, I can unleash the true artist in myself and create something completely original and unique.

I’m hoping to explore abstract colour work incorporating faces, Warhammer, female faces, and historic characters using a variety of shapes and colours.

I think if you believe in your artist and allow them to be creative, you’ll get the most incredible tattoos.

I hope you enjoy my work.
