What do you do when you’re not tattooing?


I am a burlesque performer, being a Kitty Kat Kitten at the Kitty Kat Cabaret club in Bournemouth. It’s a great way to meet new people and make friends. It’s through perform- ing that I met one of my best friends, Miss Khandie Khisses, who is one of the UK’s top Burlesque performers. She recently awarded us the prize in the first Khandie Khisses inspired artwork competition!


Much of what I do in life is in- spired by the 1940s, a time when life was simple and fashion was fabu- lous. If I’d had a choice, I think I’d love to have lived then.


Is there anyone you would like to thank?


My late Granny who told me I could do anything and obviously my hus- band Jason, who allowed me to use him as a canvas all those years ago. Jason helped set up the shop and has been my constant inspiration for all things vintage. I would also like to thank Sarah and Mark for being my best friends and photographers for this article.
