Artist Focus: Kris Barnas

Realism tattooing. It’s something you can find all over the world, an artform both popular and incredibly respected. The ability to capture life and realistic images in permanence through tattooing is a skill and a long-honed talent.

We are fortunate enough to have someone who excels in this. Kris is an international award-winner and a power-house tattooer. His work is beautiful and crisp, accurate and impressive. He manages to capture each image he tackles and his clients are always more than impressed.

Black-and-grey or colour-work, and any subject matter, Kris is the man. Be it portraiture, landforms, film and book characters, animals, the man is a wizard and will take on anything. After cleaning up across Europe and earning the respect of fellow tattooer’s everywhere, we are very proud and honoured to have him settle down with us in our studio, where he continues to meet new clients every day, already booking out months in advance after tattooing with us for less than a year.

So come and join the party, check Kris out on his social media and contact him or the studio to arrange your next jaw-dropping tattoo!

Artist Focus: Jaes

Next up on our team is Jaes Bidwell. Jaes is our resident old-school and illustrative traditional artist who once again diversifies and adds to our variable palette of artists. Jaes draws inspiration from folk-art, old-school tattooing, and nautical themes; he is a Freo boy through-and-through.

Jaes has been tattooing for 7 years now but is an experienced artist who has worked in creative industries for over 20 years now. His tattoo work is bold and distinctive but has its foundations in the flavour of artwork that started it all.

Jaes finds a great deal of inspiration through traditional tattoo themes, traditional folk art, occult symbolism and the rich maritime history of Fremantle, believing that the tattoo as an image is a symbol in itself that represents, stands for, or suggests an idea, visual image, belief, action, or material entity.

Jaes is proficient in cover-ups and reworks, and also loves to work in free-hand! He is constantly creating unique and original designs taking ideas from his clients and putting his own unique spin on them. He has spent years honing his craft and only continues to improve with every piece he creates.

 Check Jaes out on his social media and contact him or the studio for bookings and further information on how to get in with the salty dog himself.

Artist Focus: Jaz Winters

Howdy, inkers! Over the next few weeks we will be taking a look at each of our artists and their styles in depth, so you can choose the right person for the job. First up is resident neo-traditional artist; Jazzy.

Jazzy is a beast. Her work is original, bright, colourful, and well-tattooed. She is happy to tackle near any subject matter and while she revels in bold and distinctive designs she is capable of taking on nearly any job, realism, dotwork, movie and book characters, neo-trad, even trad, this talented lady is a force to be reckoned with.

Jaz has been tattooing for 6 years, and her style and quality of work only continues to develop and improve by the day. She is generally quite heavily booked, but is always looking for new clients and designs to enjoy and throw herself into.

Jaz has also done a lot of watercolour work! She implements it into her designs as accent or backing, or can do full pieces in this unique style. Her colour-work is thick, bright, and impressive, and it is what she loves.

Jaz also does a lot of cover-up’s and reworks! She has a great eye for fixing existing work or even blasting straight over it, and she is popular for this amongst her original works.

So perhaps its time you organized a consultation so you can meet the lady herself, and have a talk about your next great tattoo? We’re only ever a phone-call or an email away!

Check Jazzy out on her Instagram @Jazzytattoo.

Next week we will be talking about our old-school salty dog, Jaes.

Til then inkers, keep it real.
