The Owner

Predominantly a portrait artist, Damian studied A ‘level Art & Graphic Design, and Art History at undergraduate level. He has a diverse background that has involved most mediums: including sculpting and palette-knife oil painting. He has been tattooing for several years, and has a particular appetite for Realism and Fantasy Art.

Passionate about improving standards of hygiene and risk, associated with the tattoo and piercing industry, Damian, is up to date with current Environmental Health and Piercing Procedures & Policies. He has a BA (Hons) in Biological Sciences and is a qualified teacher (PCET). Combined with his knowledge of piercing, Damian has created an innovative course, which merges the 'no bleed', 'implement free' and ‘dots in slots’ techniques, all of which minimise the risk of infection and post piercing trauma. He now teaches classes at Beautifully Inked Piercing Academy.

Damian's vision entailed a studio with a solid artistic background at its core, set in a light, friendly atmosphere; whilst reintroducing old school values and professionalism toward customer service. Beautifully Inked is the result of this dream.
