Ash
Folk-inspired and ceremonial tattoo artist
I grew up in Scotland but spent my twenties in Aotearoa, New Zealand, and have now settled in Devon, where I enjoy foraging, playing music and exploring its forests. I’ve fallen in love with the moors and coastlines here, and spend many days alongside the river Dart.
I adore creating custom pieces incorporating Celtic knotwork, natural patterns, my own sigils, folklore and wildlife. My designs vary from fineline to bolder pieces, with occasional splashes of colour.
I also offer handpoke tattooing, a technique done manually without a machine. I like to offer private ceremonial tattooing using this method as it is a very intentional practice.
I approach tattooing with as much care for the environment as I can, so most of the disposable equipment I use is biodegradable. The act of marking our bodies is a powerful and healing process, and it’s important to me to do this in a conscious and loving way.
