AMY BILLING
I BEGAN TATTOOING IN JANUARY 2015, AND HAVE SINCE THEN DEVELOPED MY OWN TAKE ON FLORAL, GEOMETRIC AND DOTWORK TATTOOS. I PARTICULARLY LOVE COMBINING THESE STYLES AND CREATING LARGE SCALE PIECES OF ARTWORK SUCH AS SLEEVES, LEG SLEEVES AND BACKPIECES. I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT DESIGNING TATTOOS THAT FLOW WITH THE BODY TO GIVE MY CLIENTS A NEW FOUND CONFIDENCE.
MY STYLE IS VERY FEMININE AND IT’S SO IMPORTANT TO ME THAT TATTOOS ACCENTUATE THE SHAPE AND CURVES OF THE BODY WHICH IS WHY I LOVE FREEHANDING FLORAL PIECES DIRECTLY ONTO THE SKIN SO MUCH. THIS COMBINED WITH GEOMETRIC DOTWORK ELEMENTS IS THE BASIS OF MY STYLE WHICH I AIM TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP TO FURTHER MY SKILLS.

RACHAEL SAWTELL
I started my tattooing career in 2018 and feel privileged to be able to create artwork every day, working with clients to create bespoke pieces. My tattooing style is centred around black and grey pieces, I like to reference animals, nature and portraits as the main inspirations. I also love to add in geometric and shape elements to the pieces I create to push designs to the next level.

I HAVE JUST STARTED ON MY TATTOOING JOURNEY WITH THE HOBO JACK TEAM AND I FEEL VERY LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN TAKEN ON BY AMY AND JAMES FOR MY APPRENTICESHIP. IT'S EXCITING BEING SURROUNDED BY SUCH TALENTED ARTISTS TO LEARN FROM.
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED DRAWING AND FINALLY TOOK THE LEAP INTO TATTOOING EARLIER THIS YEAR. I LOVE FLOWERS AND USE A LOT OF PEONIES, BLOSSOM AND WILD ROSES AS MY MAIN INFLUENCES. I LOVE THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE DELICATE FLOWERS AND THE ANIMAL SUBJECTS I USE. L AM DRAWN TO BIG CATS AND SNAKES ESPECIALLY, AND COMBINE THESE WITH FLOWERS IN MOST OF MY DESIGNS.
I WOULD LOVE TO START DOING LARGER MORE DETAILED PIECES USING THESE SUBJECTS AS MY INSPIRATION. I'M DEFINITELY LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT'S TO COME.

HANNAH TRUNWITT
I've been tattooing full time since April 2016. I enjoy a wide range of styles but specialise in blackwork and ornamental.
I've always been artistic from a very young age and always strived to find a creative career. After studying art and product design in school, I decided to take on architecture at Bournemouth university. After getting my degree I decided that I was better suited to tattooing and searched for an apprenticeship. I completed a full year of apprenticing within 2 studios before I started tattooing customers.
I am always trying new creative avenues and have recently been focusing my energy (outside of work) on creating artwork with resin. The fluidity and unpredictability is a major contrast to tattooing where perfection is the aim!

TAYLOR MAY
I started my apprenticeship with the Hobo Jack team straight after finishing my A levels back in July 2021. I feel very lucky to have been taken on by Amy as my mentor as she has taught me everything I know so far about tattooing. Im currently enjoying having a mixture of styles within my work which are mainly inspired by nature, witchy themes, taxidermy and portraits. Im looking forward to exploring a range of different styles until I figure out what I’d like to specialise in.

AMBER GRAY
I started tattooing in January 2021. I’ve always been creative and loved drawing, and finally found a way to make it a career that I love!
I’m really enjoying developing my own style in floral and ornamental tattooing, as well as exploring dotwork and smaller fine line designs.
I am eager to start creating larger flowing pieces and see how I can continue to explore and develop my own distinct style.
