GARTH HOY

Tattoo Artist

Professional Tattoo Artist with 3 years self taught and 20 years professional licensed artist, loves old school and traditional but also enjoys all styles of tattooing.

I saw my first tattoo being performed when i was only 9 years old, from that day I was totally hooked. I started my professional tattoo career in 1995, working on friends and family tattooing small pieces at first then progressing to more complicated art. I spent many hours watching and learning ideas and different techniques from Jack and Sean Zeek, who were very well known artists in the local area, and thanks to Sean who gave me the opportunity to work in my first tattoo studio.

Over the past 13 years, I have tattooed many styles of work such as cover-ups, black n grey, and Japanese, etc, but my forte is old-school traditional, which most people still have done, such as roses, daggers, hearts, panthers, and pin-ups.
