Hey....

[Double Agent]

Hey all...

My name is Rich and I am a tattoo collector / inflictor based in Leeds. I have had tattoos done by various artists, but I am not the type of guy to cover my whole body in 2 years. I prefer to get bits done now-and-again, because as I mature, my tastes & ideas change. I started off at 18 with a couple of bits of flash, now at 32 I mainly get custom work done. My latest piece is still healing - I had a pin up girl done last year, and I have just had a horse-shoe done behind her, with two roses. I mainly have black & grey tattoos, but the more I work with colour, the more I have started liking coloured tattoos.

I started tattooing last April. I have always been quite artistic, my main areas being pencil drawing & graffiti, but have now made the transition to tattooing. I am largely self-taught, picking up tips from artists that have worked on me.

I hope to be able to post some pics of the work I have done, as well as the work I have had done soon.

My other interests are bikes (Mountain & BMX), Martial Arts, DJ'ing (Mainly Hip-Hop but some old school house) and reptiles.

I'm friendly enough, so hit me up if you fancy a chat.
