All ABOUT SPRINKLES.
Hi! My name is Sprinkles or "Sprinks" for short. I'm a full time Tattooer with over 13 years of professional experience.
I'm a proud Kiwi of Maori and Cook Island descent, and after 20 years of living happily in Sydney Australia I'm now based in Vancouver Canada.
My specialty lies in black and grey work with a focus on Flora, Fauna, Women/The female form, Geometry & Surrealism, however I have a tonne of experience working in all styles classic and contemporary. Don't be afraid to ask!
You'll find my art style to be illustrative with elements of realism, using contrasting values, line weights and intricate dot shading techniques. Sometimes I like to strip things back and celebrate the simplicity of bold lines and solid black with a pop of colour.
I came to Tattooing from a vibrant career painting large scale indoor / outdoor mural commissions, live art event performances, group exhibitions and hosting creative workshops.
I've also worked - customising furniture, in film and television, raced as a sponsored Drifter and was a pro HipHop & Breakdancer full time for 11 years!
We'll definitely have plenty to chat about.
Throughout my career I've learnt a host of useful information that I'm now sharing on my YouTube channel. If you've ever wanted to embark on your own tattoo journey but have struggled to find reliable reference or guides, feel free to take a look and see if my beginner tips and tricks are a good fit for you.
Thanks for stopping by!
