Guest Artists

OLIVE

Olive began her tattoo career here at East Side many years ago, she now lives and works in Brighton but still comes to visit every month or so!



With a distinctive, painterly and sometimes abstract style Olive brings a boldness to watercolour tattoos you don’t usually see and her colours are second to none! As with all our guest artists we suggest you contact Olive directly to enquire about starting a project.

XAVIER

Xavier, or El Pinche Loco as he’s more well know as on instagram, was a resident artist at East Side for 5 years - he’s since moved away from the hustle and bustle of London life, but can never stay away for too long, so joins us the for the weekend every couple of months. Xavier loves bold lines and solid colours - anything and everything traditional! He also has a wonderful selection of flash heavily inspired by his Mexican heritage, so we definitely recommend checking that out! 

Contact Xavier directly to enquire about availability on his next visit.

JIM

Big Jim from up North! Jim has been a friend of the studio for a long time, and now that he’s based up in Leeds, calls East Side home when he comes back to London (which is normally every few months). His single needle black & grey designs have an air of classic tattoo nostalgia to them, but his eye for detail, the finest of lines and love of a whiiiiip shade brings them right into the modern day. If you’re interested in getting some work from Jim, drop him a message to enquire about his next visit!
