Co owner of Snake and Tiger Tattoo in Leeds

I have always had a passion for art and after enjoying the subject through compulsory education I took a step to fuel my passion by studying Fine Art at Leeds University, graduating in 2003. From here I started work as a community artist in schools across Yorkshire painting large scale murals and project managing collaborative art projects for 5 years.

Many of the skills I learnt during this time, such as collaborating with clients to meet their specific desires, I have transferred into tattooing. I have a passionate interest in Japan and lived in Japan during 2005, this prompted me to consider tattooing seriously, and move away from community art to concentrate on my personal passion as a career. My other interests are 50s and 60s pop culture and the rock and roll influenced lowbrow art that came out of it, tattooing being an obvious part of that culture.

When my client asked for a Mongaku-themed backpiece, I was absolutely thrilled. Completing large tattoos is incredibly rewarding — a mix of joy that it’s finished and bittersweetness that the journey is over. Happy to say Alex will be back for more soon to add to his bodysuit.

I don’t usually share personal posts, but I need to honor my friend Mr. Death, who passed away yesterday. For those who know me, you know how much I cherish Tokyo’s underground garage rock scene—it’s been a cornerstone of my yearly trips to Japan, and it’s where I’ve made lifelong friends.
Mr. Death was one of the most unforgettable characters in that world. With his signature fez and adult diaper, he DJ’d with wild passion and unmatched drunken charisma. He had impeccable taste in gritty 50s and 60s rock and roll—the trashier, the better.
One drunken night, he told me something I’ll never forget: “It doesn’t matter that you’re English and I’m Japanese. What matters is rock and roll—it’s the spirit that unites us all.”
He went out of his way to make me feel welcome, every single time. He lived life on his own terms. Mr. Death embodied the true outrageous spirit of rock and roll.
I’ll miss you, my friend. You were one of a kind. Rest in power.
