The first time I came across Owen Paulls was at aconvention. “Come and look at this guy,” one of the organisers said. “He’s really young and he’s doing some amazing black and grey Disney portraits.” I’m not sure what I expected, but I sure as hell wasn’t ready for what I saw. Owen was working on aportrait of Officer Judy Hopps from Zootopia. The depth and darkness of it was mind-blowing. His tattoos look REAL – which is not an easy task when the subject matter doesn’t exist in real life! Owen recently left the UK for Los Angeles and we figured we’d better catch him before he went anywhere else…

Luke Atkinson could be described as‘the British ambassador for Japanese tattooing in Germany’. He’s been around for a long time and he learnt his trade from some of the very best artists in the world. He doesn’t post much on social media and he doesn’t do a hell of a lot to promote his studio (Checker Demon in Stuttgart) so there are a lot of you ngerartists who may not have even heard of him. But if you don’t, you certainly should!

In the recent extreme heatwave, it was difficult to escape the hot,thick air that seemed to settle so heavily over the whole of London.But inside über cool studio Seven Doors – on the aptly namedFashion Street in the East End – the temperature was, thankfully,somewhat more comfortable. That's where I met Teide, one of SevenDoors' resident artists, for an in-depth conversation about his uniqueavant-garde work.

BRISTOL TATTOO CONVENTION Can it possibly be EVEN beter than last yer? 30 BRITISH TATTOO MASTERS REIMAGINED Barnaby Titchener’s inspiring new book

Late on a Sunday night (after two full days at The Scottish Tattoo Convention!) waspossibly not the best time be meeting up with the crew from Edinburgh’s EmpireInk, but sometimes you just have to grab these opportunities when they comealong. It was high time Total Tattoo visited Alex Rattray’s awesome shop to interviewAlex himself and fellow artists Laura Jane Penman and Kyle Shields.

Here’s a tale of real community spirit. Big-hearted Kyle McIntosh, owner of Beauty From Ashes Tattoo Parlor in Indiana, USA, decided to contribute to his local food bank in a rather unique way. On Sunday 8th April he offered free tattoos in exchange for donations of tinned, dried or other non-perishable foodstuffs.
