Stephen (Ste) Marin
Tattoo Apprentice
Ste has had an interest in Art and design since his early school days,and spending many hours doodling Simpson characters are some of his earliest memories. Throughout his school years Ste was confident he had his future planned out and intended to head off to art college. However the pressure of social expectations and influences steered him away from his passion and last minute he decided to study Engineering. Despite this change in direction Ste went on to complete his degree and became a Civil Engineer. The realisation that this was not right for him came quickly and he found himself using his downtime to draw traditional style tattoos as a hobby, even producing these designs for clothing brands.
The more he drew the more he knew this is what he wanted to do, and on a whim he applied for an apprenticeship at House Of Horrors, his passion and talent landed him a spot on our team.
Ste is still developing his fundamental skills and aims to tattoo as bold and vibrant as his drawings. He has a keen interest in anything bold and colourful and takes inspiration from Artists such as Debbie Jones, Myke Chambers and Alex Bage.
