he/him

Hello, I’m Jack! I’m 29 and I’ve been tattooing for 9 years now (June 2016) here in Darlington.

It’s tricky to say what I specialise in seeing as I enjoy anything bold and bright but Japanese, Traditional and Anime tattoos are what I really enjoy doing. Aside from that though I love and enjoy tattooing anything!

Pursuing tattooing was a long term thing for me, I took art in school and college and always leaned towards studying tattoo artists and their work, that alongside an upbringing where I would see tattoos fairly regularly (I blame my lovely mam for that).

As soon as I had an opportunity to tattoo, I took it and have continued to do so since. Most recently leading to the opening of Wilted Rose Tattoo Club! By creating a cosy, relaxed environment, something that makes a tattoo not feel so bad!

Besides tattooing there’s a few things I like to do with my time, I enjoy playing games, I play Yu-Gi-Oh (although not very well), I enjoy woodworking and making things in general and I do almost everything whilst listening to music!

Hii I’m Alicia and I am a cancer.

I am a strong believer that everyone deserves a tattoo. My morals are that no gender, race, sexuality, disability or body size should stop you from getting a tattoo - inclusivity is HOT x

I got my apprenticeship while in Covid19 and it was HARD but I’m here now!

I was born and raised in Germany and have been living here for a while now, I am English and German speaking!

I specialise in fun, feminine and cute tattoos, anything pastel glitter and girly pop!

Neo-Tribal

Hey! I'm Miguel, born in the Philippines and grew up in London. I've been tattooing for around 4 years now (June 2021), with the majority years being at our lovely home Wilted Rose.

My bread and butter styles are Blackwork, Fineline and Microrealism tattooing, however I am trying to create more in the realm of progressive abstract work, with a focus on neotribal and cyber organic patterns.

I graduated in Orthoptics from The University of Sheffield in 2019, during which I put more time into practicing art and creating, than anything else. I wasn't aware the idea of tattooing being a career path was achievable as I always thought of it as an impossible dream. But after doing some research, I created a portfolio and after a string of amazing fortune, it all started happening!

Fun fact about me that I only recently found out: historically, the tribe most closely located to my hometown in the Philippines actually practiced tattooing (T'boli Hakang), so maybe it's ancient prophecy that I've come into this craft (lol).!
