About Nic

Nic has been involved in art in some way since she was in the womb, making and creating then when she reached 18 she had her first tattoo. Now she has work by some of the best tattoo artists in the industry - those artists inspire her tattoo work. She also has a degree in Fine Art.

Nic loves all things vintage, retro rides, quirky 50's style, baking cupcakes and good times. She also have a passion for travel and consequently for the iconography of other cultures; Mexican Day of the Dead imagery to Thai Buddhas and everything in between.

Nic especially loves Indian Mehndi designs, so beautifully applied to the skin with traditional henna pastes. Some of her own tattoos are inspired by these intricate patterns so when she started tattooing she knew this was one of the styles she wanted to work in, however all styles of art interest and intrigue Nic. She also work in bright colours, roses, butterflies and old school style.

 

About Syluss

Syluss was born in the UK. After completing a Btec in Art and Design in Hertfordshire in the early 90's he spent most of his time travelling and sometimes living in places such as Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan and Australia. This is where his love of cultural art and history began inspiring him to take his passion for creativity further.

Self-taught, he worked on friends in his spare time while working on his drawing and painting techniques. Whilst striving to gain a solid foundation in tattooing, Syluss got his first opportunity to turn professional when offered a position at Inka Tattoos in Brighton, UK in 2007 where he learned a various array of styles in the tattoo trade. After 2 years it was time for a change and Syluss moved to Australia where he has worked as a guest artist for 2 and a half years in various studios in Melbourne, appearing at Down to Earth, Advanced Art and Tattoo Connection.
Most recently, he has also done a guest spot in Vancouver, Canada.

Whilst he still embraces many different tattooing styles he eventually fell in love with more realistic black and grey work and loves the challenge of photo realism.

Syluss is a passionate artist who is committed to the industry of tattooing and its perception as a respected and serious art form. www.sylussink.com

        

About Ryan

Ryan was born under a wondering star in the Tropic of Capricorn. In a previous life he was laird of his very own castle on a private remote highland island until the annual cost of maintaining the 27 servants he required became too much to bear. Left with only his artistic talents, he moved to the exotic seaside town of Exmouth in Devon. Today he can be found practicing his craft at Songbird Tattoo in Honiton with his faithful pet spider monkey, Drizzle, by his side at all times.
