When Andy was 18 years old he had his first tattoo and he was hooked.

From that moment onwards he hung out at his local studio and got tattooed whenever someone had a spare moment. He taught himself how to tattoo from home before getting a job at the local studio.

Andy isn’t really interested in the tattoo “scene” but more in developing his own skills as an artist at his studio, The Church Tattoo, where he is lucky to work with amazing artists including his co-owner, Barber DTS pro team member Little Nick.

Normally, when you want a tattoo you send your chosen artist ideas of what you want. With Andy, it’s the other way round, he shows his client’s what they want - and they say hell yeah!
