Hi, I’m Kieran, a tattoo artist from Essex specialising in realism, with a particular focus on portraits. My work is centred around detailed, textured, realistic pieces, with a strong emphasis on contrast. I first got into tattooing at 16, when I set out around Southend-on-Sea with a sketchbook portfolio and a determination to find an apprenticeship. After four years of apprenticing, navigating plenty of challenges along the way, I began building my career professionally. 7 years later, I’ve continued to push my work within realism and portraiture, while travelling regularly for guest spots and opportunities to work alongside artists in different studio environments. I’m always excited to bring my work somewhere new, meet new clients and create some great pieces along the way. I have attached the 9 pictures and the profile picture too. Can you please crop the profile pic a bit so the sock isn’t too evident?
