Grant is so kind and creates a very chill atmosphere. I was very nervous getting my first tattoo but he talked me through every step and I’ve been back many times since. I have recommended him to many friends and they all feel the same way. It’s clear he has plenty of knowledge and truly cares about his work and clients!

Amazing Tattoo artists, just got my black and grey tattoo with Grant and I cannot recommend enough. Clean studio, amazing client care and atmosphere. Honestly best place to get tattoo in Basildon and while Essex and trust me I’ve made research before I found this place. :)
Looking forward to my next tattoo I have booked already! Thank you Grant ❤️

I brought in my ideas, and he took them to the next level. His precision, shading, and attention to detail are second to none. He completely nailed the placement and made sure everything was absolutely perfect before starting. An incredibly talented artist and a great guy to chat with during the session. I’ll definitely be back for the next one!

So happy with the result. I had an idea in mind and he helped me create something totally new and unique and I love the results. Genuinely so happy with it thanks Grant, see you again soon, keep up the good work!

Grant is not only welcoming he makes you feel so comfortable. Today I had my first ever tattoo with him and I can not wait to have more, such a relaxing lovely and clean environment and he always ready to answer any questions you have. He took time to talk me through the aftercare and even recommended the products to use.

Biography
Growing up in Canvey Island, Essex, in the United Kingdom, my journey into the world of tattooing began with a deep-rooted passion for art and design. Inspired by the legendary Mister Cartoon, whose groundbreaking work in the tattoo industry captivated me, I was drawn to the idea of blending art with personal expression. I started my career as a studio manager, immersing myself in the tattoo industry. This hands-on experience fuelled my growth and helped me find my own way to create heartwarming tattoos. Over time, I transitioned into tattooing full-time, carving out a career that blends creativity, precision, and storytelling. Today, I’m proud to continue building my reputation in the industry and look forward to the opportunities ahead.

Life & WorkMr. Baptiste is a monochrome black and grey tattoo artist who has built a career around needles. Ironically, a fear of needles delayed his tattoo career for years, but once he overcame it, along with the support of a team he calls family, he transformed his passion for tattoos into a career he’s truly grateful for.What started as a nerdy kid in the Royal Air Force marching band with a love for gangster rap and motorsports has led to him being featured in this magazine, attending tattoo conventions, and gaining more knowledge from seminars across the globe. He’s proof that dedication and hard work can turn even the most unlikely paths into remarkable success.
