Tattooing was all Andi ever really wanted to do… She has been tattooing since the late 70’s when life was a lot harder for the female tattoo artist than today and has seen the crazes come and go and come back again. Tattooing today offers so much more to the customer and greater satisfaction for the artist.

Andi doesn’t specialise in any particular style as she likes all styles. She likes the challenge of custom work but is happy to do the smallest of small when called upon.

Andi has worked in the USA as a guest artist and also guest spotted at a well known Studio in Kent.

Andi's others interests, when she has the time, are her dogs and her motorbikes. She also sculpts in her spare time and makes pottery to help keep her sane. As well as sculpting and making pottery she is also into hand pin striping and fibreglass moulding.

Andi has also won several awards for her tattooing ability over the years.
