Dear InkLovers,

The Story Behind Brandon-Lee Smith

My dream started at a late stage, back in the day when emo kids were popular. I saved up my chore money to buy my first tattoo kit.

When I had some time to spare, I taught myself the basics of drawing. My Skills improved & my first volunteers were my brothers.

At a later stage I applied for an apprenticeship and then got my qualification. I have been tattooing professionally for the last 5 years and cannot imagine myself being in any other industry.

I believe my style is called Illustrative. From etching and engraving, to abstract expressionism, and even fine line calligraphy. This style is extremely versatile. I like to use my own techniques to create my very own style.
