Aaron tattoo

Aaron’s been tattooing for around 2.5 years, after getting into it out of pure spite — he was once told he couldn’t do art, so he went and proved them wrong. He’s always been one to doodle (or dewdle, as his name suggests), and tattooing gave him the perfect outlet to run with it.

His style leans towards traditional-ish-inspired blackwork, with a love for bold lines, strong contrast, and the occasional bat. While his work often heads into the morbid, Aaron himself is anything but — he’s the loud, energetic one in the studio who somehow still manages to make his tattoos feel clean, solid, and balanced. He currently looks to experiment more with opaque greys in his blackwork, pushing his style while still keeping things bold and readable.

Outside the studio, you’ll find him gaming, dancing to Kate Bush in his kitchen with his cat, or getting drunk, again with his cat. He also lives on a farm and assists with lambing season... in his words, “I fist sheep.” We’ll leave it at that.

Loud, lively, and always up for a laugh — Aaron brings big energy to Tenko, and clients love him for it.
