Resident Artists
Four residents share the long room. Each has their own chair, their own music and their own waiting list. Pick the one whose portfolio fits the piece in your head — or let us match you.
01
Neo-Traditional · Colour · Botanical
Mara Vesh
Painterly colour, heavy botanicals and storybook compositions with a traditional backbone. Ten years behind the machine, six of them in this room.
Books ~6 weeks out
02
Blackwork · Ornamental · Geometry
Jonah Kress
Solid black, sacred geometry and ornamental pieces that wrap the body. Takes three clients a week and prefers big canvases — backs, sleeves, sternums.
Large scale only
03
American Traditional · Flash · Japanese
Diego Salas
Bold line, solid colour, vintage flash. Eagles, roses, panthers and the odd wind-bar back piece — a love letter to the old sailor shops. Runs Flash Friday.
Walk-ins on Fridays
04
Fine Line · Script · Micro
Nova Kerr
Single-needle specialist working between hand-lettered script, tiny botanicals and fine-line portraits. Patient, precise, and very good with first tattoos.
Great for first-timers
