Artists and Studios

Watch the video below to see how Chapta develops the initial design, builds texture and depth, and creates a striking finished piece.

We had the opportunity to watch one of our talented sponsored artists, Keith Burke, create an incredible medieval-style black and grey tattoo in his studio, Blunt Force Ink.

Volkan creates a bold tattoo that looks like a polaroid framed painting taped onto the skin – complete with bright brush strokes and striking contrasts. This unique design perfectly showcases his mastery of spraying techniques, layering, and colour packing, giving the tattoo depth, texture, and lasting vibrancy.

We got to visit Julien, also known as Stabby Places Tattoo, at the Blank Collective in London to watch him create a striking sketch-style anime tattoo.

We sat down with Alisia Harker, co-owner of Mischief Tattoo Studio and sponsored artist at Killer Ink, to watch her create a stunning ornamental tattoo.

We had the pleasure of visiting Clarke Dudley at the One22 Tattoo Club in Nuneaton where we watched him create an incredible black and grey surrealism tattoo. 

Throughout this blog, we’ll cover how to choose inks that are going to help you bring your designs to life as well as break down some of the best brands for different tattooing styles, including blackwork, colour realism, old school, and new school.

We had a chat with Phillip Trier, the founder and creator of the innovative stencil products, who gave us more insight into how the spray and film work together to take your stencil transfer game to the next level.

We had the pleasure of visiting Aggie Vnek; Sponsored Artist at Killer Ink, Resident Artist at Abrakadavra Studio, and Pro Artist at Whitfields Tattoo Co. While there, we watched her create an incredible cyborg colour surrealism tattoo featuring bold blackwork elements. 

We spoke to two of our sponsored artists, Adrian Delargue and Joshua Beatson, for tips on blackwork techniques and healing advice as well as their go-to inks, cartridges, and machines!
