Studio: Pure Morning Tattoo
Style: Neo-traditional

Nik the Rookie has always loved to draw - and after spending 10 years in the graphic design industry he decided to take a leap of faith into the world of tattooing.

When he first started he wanted to learn as much as possible and so he tried everything that looked interesting to him – then he saw some neo-traditional work from Adrian Edek and fell in love with the style.

A changing point in Nik’s art happened a few years ago - at a guest spot, he was tattooing a man’s face on his client and the subject had a moustache, Nik was unsure of where to shade so decided to put thin lines on the face to make shading easier, it ended up becoming his signature and the rest is history!
