Gareth has always had a passion for art, design and illustration. After finishing school, he attended University to complete a double Bachelor degree in Fine Art and Visual Communication and Design.
After and during his University studies, Gareth worked in studio and freelance graphic design roles and developed a passion for branding and business identity. He also worked on multiple fine art exhibitions and government funded street art installations. Through connections in design, Gareth was given an opportunity to enter the world of store design and presentation. Quickly moving up the ranks, he spent the majority of his twenties working in National Creative roles for brands such as Glue Store and General Pants. Being recognised for his talent, Gareth was head-hunted for roles in the luxury fashion world and worked in National roles for Hugo Boss and International Creative roles with Ralph Lauren.
In 2015, Gareth left his career with Ralph Lauren and made a personal decision to return to his first love - art and design. Today he is putting his education and commercial experience into good practice, developing his individual tattoo style and aesthetic. He is passionate about fine-line tattooing, and traditional American styles. Gareth is a friendly and professional tattoo artist and prides himself on his clean, fine-lines and compositions.
