A roster of resident artists working across traditional, fine line, blackwork, neo-traditional, realism, surrealism and custom. Each one runs their own books — find the artist whose work fits the tattoo you have in mind.
01/Black and grey · Surrealism
Nick Imms
Nick is the founder of the original The Church Tattoo and, depending on who you ask, either the heartbeat of the studio or the reason nobody can hear themselves think half the time. Loud, constantly talking, and usually discussing either tattoos or food, Nick has become just as known for his personality and energy around the studio as he has for his tattooing.
02/Colour realism
Kirsten Pettitt
Kirsten Pettit, also known as K Peanut, is one of the three owners of The Church Tattoo and is widely recognised as one of the leading colour realism tattoo artists in her field. Known for her technical precision, bold use of colour, and ability to create strikingly lifelike tattoos with depth and atmosphere, Kirsten has built a reputation that reaches far beyond the studio itself. Her work has earned multiple industry awards and recognition throughout the tattoo world, establishing her as a respected artist both within the UK and internationally.
03/Neo-traditional · Fine line
Stephanie Melbourne
Stephanie Melbourne is one of the three owners of The Church Tattoo and a hugely respected artist known for her versatility, precision, and ridiculously clean linework. Whether she's working on bold neo traditional pieces, delicate fine line tattoos, or branching into completely different styles, Steph approaches every tattoo with the same level of care, consistency, and technical attention that has made her one of the standout artists within the studio.
04/Traditional
Gee Jenkins
Gee Jenkins is the resident traditional artist at The Church Tattoo and someone whose passion for tattooing is impossible to miss the moment you speak to her. Traditional tattooing isn't just the style she works in — it's something she genuinely lives and breathes. From classic flash references and bold compositions to the history and culture behind the style itself, Gee's love for traditional tattooing runs through everything she creates.
05/Fine line · Neo-traditional
Paige Hutchinson
Paige Hutchinson is an artist at The Church Tattoo known not only for her tattooing, but for the genuinely positive energy she brings into the studio every single day. Always smiling, endlessly supportive, and the sort of person who would go out of her way to help absolutely anyone, Paige has become a huge part of the welcoming atmosphere that The Church is known for.
06/Black and grey · Realism
Gui Virginello
Guilherme Virginello is a black and grey tattoo artist based at The Church Tattoo whose work reflects a huge range of influences, cultures, and artistic experience. Half Brazilian and half Italian, Gui originally began his tattoo journey in São Paulo before later working in Italy, eventually bringing his style and experience over to the Midlands, where he has become a key part of the studio and its identity.
07/Blackwork · Geometric
Matt OG
Matt OG is the resident blackwork specialist at The Church Tattoo, known for bold geometric designs, heavy blackwork, and some of the cleanest blackout tattoos around. His work is built on precision, patience, and strong technical execution, creating tattoos that feel strikingly solid while still flowing naturally with the body.
08/Neo-traditional · Japanese-influenced
Zakk Bisseker
Zakk Bisseker is one of the resident neo traditional artists at The Church Tattoo, known for creating bold, expressive tattoos that pull influence from a huge range of artistic styles and subcultures. While neo traditional sits at the core of his work, Zakk's tattooing is heavily shaped by everything from Japanese art and anime to illustration, pop culture, graphic design, and contemporary alternative aesthetics, giving his work a style that feels both distinctive and constantly evolving.
09/Colour realism · Surrealism
Liberty McNally
Liberty McNally may be one of the youngest artists at The Church Tattoo, but that's something people tend to forget very quickly once they see both her work ethic and the quality of the tattoos she produces. Carrying herself with a maturity and calm confidence well beyond her years, Liberty has become a huge presence within the studio — someone who naturally brings good energy wherever she goes while remaining completely focused on constantly improving her craft.
10/Fine line · Black and grey
Lauren Tedd
Lauren is a fine line black and grey artist based at The Church Tattoo, known for creating delicate, elegant tattoos with a strong focus on precision, softness, and detail. Her work is clean, refined, and carefully balanced, specialising in tattoos that feel subtle and understated while still carrying strong artistic impact.
