SCRAP is located on the site of the historic metal merchant and scrapyard in Margate's old town.

SCRAP operates as a private handpoke tattoo and artist studio for myself, an appointment-only space for those seeking thoughtful, gently applied tattoos in a calm and peaceful environment.

 I am a multidisciplinary artist with a background in sculpture and drawing. I offer contemporary handpoked tattoos and specialise in simple compositions of artefacts, art references, botanical and animal imagery.

Handpoke or stick and poke is a method of tattooing where force is manually applied with a needle without the electrical power from a tattoo machine. This technique is often described as more comfortable than machine tattooing and lends itself well to small designs with a lot of detail or texture. This gentle form of tattooing results in a delicate soft healed result.
