Meet Nero

I create tattoos that are precise, bold and designed to last.

Tattooing fascinated me from an early age. 

Watching a Jackie Chan movie as a child, I saw the full Yakuza body suits and felt completely captivated. Years later, my own journey began with graffiti art when I was ten. Self‑taught and driven by curiosity, I turned that passion into the craft I practice today.

You can read more about my story on the About page.

I had great experience with Alex, great tattoo artist. Friendly and always happy to answer any questions you might have about your tattoo and aftercare e.t.c.Highly Recommend!
Alex
I first came to Alex two years ago for a forearm piece of Medusa. Not only is the artwork incredible, but he is great company for a full eight hour tattoo session. The detail and dot work is the best I’ve seen, and the attention to my own wishes and vision is second to none.
Samantha
Over 3 years ago I found Alex. I knew from then I had found my artist! His attention to detail. His passion and drive for his artwork. I trust him completely.
Joseph
I’ve had multiple tattoos done by Alex, super talented versatile artist who always produces incredible work! Would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to get a new tat!
Darragh
Got this sleeve tattoo over several sessions as he could tell when it was getting tough on me, he's a brilliant patient tattoo artist with some fantastic skills, and was able to seek advice and aftercare help from when I needed it.
Maria
Getting my first tattoo was nerve-wracking but Alex made the experience incredibly smooth for me! His expertise and calmness helped so much and the final result exceeded my expectations! I

MY TATTOO PROCESS

Getting a tattoo should feel clear and straightforward — not confusing or rushed.


This is how working together usually looks, from the first message to aftercare.

Enquiry

Every project starts with an enquiry.

Use the form below to tell me about:

  • Your idea or reference

  • Placement and approximate size

  • Whether it’s a new tattoo or part of a larger plan

You don’t need to have everything figured out — that’s part of the process.
The more context you give me, the better I can understand what you’re looking for.

Submit the form below to get started.

Once I’ve reviewed your enquiry, we’ll talk through the idea properly.

This can be done:

  • In person

  • Or remotely, depending on the project

We’ll look at:

  • Flow on the body

  • Symmetry and structure

  • How the design will read now and years from now

I focus on building tattoos that are clear, strong, and designed specifically for you — not copied or forced.

If we decide to move forward, your booking is secured with a £50 or £100 deposit the (it depends on the duration of the session).

  • The deposit confirms your appointment

  • It goes towards the final price

  • Deposits are non-refundable

At this stage, we’ll lock in dates and sessions if the project requires more than one sitting.

My current booking window is usually 2 months ahead.

Sessions take place at North of Winter Tattoo Studio during my working hours:

Monday to Friday — 10:00am to 6:00pm

For larger or more complex projects:

  • Designs are built to work across multiple sessions

  • Breaks and pacing are planned to keep quality high

Rescheduling:
If you need to reschedule, please let me know at least 3 days in advance.
I understand that serious, last-minute situations can happen — communication is key.

Proper aftercare is essential for keeping lines clean and the tattoo healing well.

You’ll receive aftercare instructions after your session.
For full, detailed guidance, please visit the Aftercare page, where everything is explained step by step.
