Studio: Timeless Art Crew
Style: Black & Grey Realism

Obi One got into tattooing through his wife. After she started working as a tattoo artist, his interest in art increased and he took the opportunity to learn how to draw and tattoo. He began drawing at 26 and was already tattooing by 27.

“Creating artwork on people's skin that lasts a lifetime, that's very satisfying.”

Obi One draws inspiration from many different artists and photographers. He realised he loved realism very quickly, but occasionally likes to try other styles. 

He advises new artists to get tattoos from other established artists and to ask questions. His favourite thing about tattooing is the freedom to work in what he loves and that he has the chance to meet lots of great people, whether it's clients or other artists.
