BW Tattoo Studio In Lichfield
Artist and Owner
Tattoo Artist / Craig Startin
I’ve been a tattoo artist for over 20 years and have worked in several studios along the way. I’ve always loved drawing and anything creative, so art has naturally been a big part of my life.
I actually fell into tattooing by chance — I was helping a friend out during a busy day at his studio after his apprentice didn’t turn up. He was impressed with the stencils I created and asked if I’d like to train as a tattoo artist. The rest, as they say, is history!
I wouldn't call it an apprenticeship but it was some good training and stood me well for when I decided to go it alone as a junior artist.
The type of work I enjoy the most is realism I love to watch a tattoo come to life although over the years I think I have at some piont done all the differnt styles of tattoos.
I prefer colour realism, but I do enjoy doing the occasional black and grey piece too.
I love creating portraits in colour of popular culture people famous faces and super heroes and villains.
