James Streeter, a photographer from Sussex UK is creating a Ink Series of work where plumes of billowing ink collide with tattooed models. The tattoos on their skin merge into colourful clouds of ink to create a beautiful effect…
Channel 4 Tattoo Fixers
The new series of Tattoo Fixers on Channel 4 is set in a pop-up tattoo parlour where three tattoo artists transform unwanted and regrettable tattoos. The team work on a mixture of clients who wish to change their embarrassing, badly done, rude and crude tattoos. People come to the studio and show the team the piece that they want covering, while giving a short brief and each artist draws a tattoo design and the customer picks the one they want to get tattooed.
The team includes:
Jay Hutton who manages his own studio in Cheshire, where he tattoos realism and black and grey work on celebrity clientèle.
The wonderful self-taught Lou Hopper of King of Hearts London, who was one of the artists tattooing at our recent Feminist Flash day.
Sketch who specialises in traditional bold colour tattoos from Reppin Ink London..
