Award-Winning Tattoo Artist

PAUL LAVEY

Paul LaVey is a highly skilled tattoo artist specialising in colour realism and realistic black and grey tattoos, with a particular passion for Star Wars, horror film tattoos, and animal portraits. His love for art and horror has been evident since his early 20s when he first picked up a tattoo machine. Today, his work is recognised worldwide for its stunning detail and lifelike quality.

With awards from multiple tattoo conventions across the UK and as far as Goa, India, Paul has built a reputation for pushing the boundaries of realism in tattooing. While his signature style is colour realism, he also enjoys experimenting with mixed styles, always bringing a fresh and unique approach to his work.

A proud member of Ink Fusion Empire, Paul is the only officially licensed Lucasfilm Ltd. tattoo artist in Northern England and one of two tattoo artists in Europe to be licensed by the Halloween movie franchise. This makes him one of the few artists authorised to create officially recognised Star Wars and Halloween tattoos. His expertise has also earned him spots on several prestigious pro teams, including Barber DTS, Yayo Familia, and Ink Maps Tattoo App, as well as sponsorships from Tatsoul, Critical Tattoo Supply, Eternal Ink, and Jet Black Supply.

Whether you're looking for a bold, cinematic colour piece or a masterfully shaded black-and-grey tattoo, Paul brings passion, precision, and artistry to every design.
