JIMMY. 

FROM THE STREETS TO THE STUDIO!

 

​Jimmy is a custom tattoo artist and the owner of Velvet Ink. He has spent the last few years creating and fine tuning his distinctive and individual style that lends itself to custom based tattoo work, no matter what the customer's specifications are you can be sure Jimmy will produce a quality piece of work.

Jimmy grew up in Wellingborough and has always enjoyed art. This can be seen in his love of Street Art (Graffiti) which he has done all his life, making headlines for charity events and even being invited to judge at years knife amnesty event in Corby.  Jimmy started his tattooing career like many artists before him when he became an apprentice for an already established artist. Working through the ranks he finally took the leap to establish Velvet Ink in 2010 taking on apprentices of his own and giving other artists the opportunity to grow and enhance their skills.


Cat
THE ART OF BODY PIERCING
Our piercer who comes from Corby is loved by everyone that meets her both young and adult alike. At only 19 years Cat knew exactly what she wanted to do and in true form she set out to achieve it. Having been with us a short time Cat has become a big part of our team and has found herself in great demand.
Bringing her style and relaxed personality to the studio has had a positive effect on not only those working with her but her client also.

Wayne
Tattoo Artist

The newest member of our team and Wayne has already earned himself a nickname from our clients. Growing up alongside Jimmy in Wellingborough our man also has a  love of art which he expresses through his mirror engravings. This very delicate art has led our 'Gentle Giant' straight to our doors where he now uses that talent to put amazingly details work on his clients. Although he has only been with us a short while Wayne is already in high demand and is booking up weeks in advance. It could be his gentle demeanour but his tattoos just speak for themselves.

Amo
Tattooist & Body Piercer
Born in London and raised here in Kettering, Amo (a name given to her by clients) has always enjoyed art and spends most days enhancing her skills. Having been with us for many years now she has assisted with the day to day running of the studio. Originally coming in as a volunteer to clean and run the reception she worked her way up to Senior Piercer where she threw herself into work while continuing her tattoo apprenticeship. She fast became popular with her clients and would build herself a loyal client base for both piercings and tattoos.
