🟣 Hey, I’m Toni – Little Pea Piercing here at Los Muertos I’ve been piercing professionally for 5 years, and I like my tools sharp, my studio spotless, and my piercings done with actual skill—not a spring-loaded horror show. That means no guns, no clickers, no exceptions. Just safe, sanitary, needle-only goodness every time. My favorite piercing? The conch. It’s bold, it’s versatile, and it always looks cool—like the leather jacket of ear piercings. Least favorite? The septum. It’s the drama queen of the bunch, but I still enjoy doing them (and yes, I’ll still hype you up while you get one). Whether you’re a nervous newbie or a seasoned sparkle collector, I’ve got you. I’ll walk you through everything, keep it clean, and make sure you leave feeling like a pierced-up legend.
Hey, I’m Drew Hancox – Tattoo Artist I kicked off my apprenticeship right as the world went into lockdown (great timing, right?), so while I’ve technically been in the game for a few years, I’ve really been tattooing professionally for about 3. It’s been a wild ride, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. My favorite style is neo-traditional—bold lines, rich colors, and a bit of flair never hurt anyone. That said, I love sinking my teeth into anime pieces. Whether it’s a full-blown sleeve or a tiny tribute to your favorite character, I’m all in. I’m here to make sure your tattoo not only looks incredible but feels like you. Let’s make something rad together.
I’m Poppa Smurf (Martin) – Tattoo Artist & Resident Grump I’ve been in the game for over 20 years, tattooed up and down the country, and trust me—I’ve seen it all, inked it all, and probably grumbled about most of it. But don’t let the nickname fool you. Underneath the gruff exterior is a guy who genuinely loves what he does. Black and grey? That’s my bread and butter. Heavy, bold, and timeless. But here’s the twist—I’ve got a real soft spot for florals and delicate pieces too. There’s something satisfying about making something beautiful, even if I pretend to be allergic to feelings. If you want a tattoo done right—with experience, honesty, and maybe a bit of dry banter—I’m your guy. Just don’t expect me to smile about it.
Hi, I’m Chelly Bell – Resident Apprentice I’m still early in my tattoo journey, but I bring a full heart and a steady hand to everything I do. My forte is black and grey realism—capturing depth, emotion, and detail in every piece, no matter the size. I’m not the loudest in the room, but I let my work speak for itself. I take my time, pay attention to the smallest details, and make sure every tattoo reflects the care and intention behind it. Apprenticeship is all about growth, and I’m here to learn, create, and give every client something they’ll be proud to wear forever.
Hey, I’m Molly – aka Deco Inks, Junior Artist I might be one of the youngest in the studio, but trust me—I’ve got more ideas than the rest of them combined (they’ll admit it… eventually). I’ve been tattooing for 2 years now, and I’m all about full-colour, bubblegum-bright designs. The more pink, the better—even if my work attire says otherwise. I love bringing playful, punchy energy to every piece I do. Think stickers, sparkles, and sass with solid technique underneath it all. My flash sheets are constantly growing—if you’re into candy-coloured critters, dreamy doodles, or anything that looks like it fell out of a kawaii fever dream, I’ve probably drawn it (twice). Fresh ideas, fresh ink, and a whole lot of heart—that’s me.
