RESIDENT ARTISTS

Joss is the owner of Life Won't Wait Tattoo studio. He has been tattooing since 2011, 6 years of which were spent working at the current premises when it was called My Last One Tattoo, owned by the late Steve Willett.
Joss enjoys tattooing Dotwork, Ornamental and Oriental styles but is always happy to work with your ideas to create a tattoo unique to you.

Sikes has been tattooing since 2009 and has worked in a number of studios in Portsmouth, learning tricks and skills in all styles along the way. He is happy to do most styles because of this.
Sikes enjoys tattooing full colour traditional, neo traditional, geometric and has recently been pursuing a bio organic art style.

Meg has been tattooing since 2018 after studying Art at college and Fashion Illustration at university. Meg joined the Life Won't Wait team in January 2022 as a resident artist and body piercer.
She has an eye for fine detail and enjoys symmetry, watercolour style, flowers and delicate fine line pieces. Meg works with both colour and black and grey.

Chris Machin @redeyechi loves creating geometry, self publishing 4 internationally popular books containing repeating patterns and tessellations that are specifically for tattooing.
This love of geometry combined with his fondness of mandalas, illustrations and symbology is often rendered by the use of lots of dotwork, bold lines and inspiration from South East Asian artwork.'

Scarlett has been an apprentice at Life Won't Wait since April 2024, working under the mentorship of Joss Wilders and is now open for bookings. Visit Scarlett's Instagram to view all available flash designs, or email her for a bespoke design.
