Amanda's tattoo skills are in great demand, she is considered by many to be one of the best female Tattoo Artists in the UK today and a true master of her craft.
She first became interested in tattoos when she was around 12 years old and she started her Tattoo Apprenticeship in 1996. From the first time she held a machine, to winning her first award, tattoos and tattooing have always both fascinated and captivated her. She has gained an enviable reputation over the years, eight of which were spent at Tattoo UK.
Amanda believes there's no bigger compliment as an artist than for someone to want to wear your art on their skin forever, so whether she's tattooing a tiny butterfly or an elaborate faerie, each piece is just as important. She feels she puts a piece of her soul into every one.
She loves the diversity of Tattoos as a medium, mixing and matching designs from different genres but particularly enjoys doing Faeries, Japanese, black & grey or soft/realistic colour work.
Amanda has tattooed at (and won awards at) numerous international tattoo conventions, she has worked alongside some of the biggest names in the industry at these events.
She is a busy mum and in her (rare) spare time Amanda like to explore other creative avenues, enjoying various kinds of Arts and Crafts.

To put it simply Emils is a 22 carat, gifted eccentric! Emils mother enrolled him at Art college from the age of 5 and this is evident in his skill with almost any Art medium. He has been blowing minds with his almost supernatural tattooing skills for quite some time now and he gets better day-by day.
If he isn't tattooing he is either constantly drawing or painting, he is a huge credit and inspiration to all at Renaissance.
Emil loves to custom draw all his tattoos, a vast majority of his work is drawn freehand on the skin. He can tattoo just about anything amazingly well and he is ridiculously talented. He is constantly pushing himself forward. He is a truly creative individual with a burning passion for the art of tattooing.
Emil also loves, Drawing, Painting, Graphic Design, Airbrush Art,
Spray can art, Fast Caricature, Henna, Body Art, Chalk, Metal Design, Jewellery Making and stealing Adie's pens.
Make sure you check out Emils portfolio and if you want some super-cool , individual tattoo work, contact us to arrange a consultation with him!
Adie is a talented, highly creative and excellent all-rounder who enjoys producing beautiful tattoos. His skills include most styles but he prefers working in ‘black & grey’ on the darker, edgier side of tattoo art. He has an almost unhealthy obsession with evil and scary imagery; skulls, the undead, torture, execution, satanic creatures and gruesome monsters are just some of the things most of us would prefer he kept to himself but if you share his lust for the macabre, get in touch as he’d love you hear about your project and make it the most insane thing he’s done yet!!
Coming from an Art & Design background (he has a very creative family), Adie started out as a Graffiti Artist before enrolling in Art College and eventually graduating as a Graphic Designer. He worked in Music Television as a Senior Designer and during his career has worked with bands such as Megadeth, Suicidal Tendancies, Machinehead, Dragonforce and many, many more.
He cites Carravaggio, Turner, Constable, Rick Griffin & Jim Phillips as some of his favourite Artists and admires the tattoo work of Bob Tyrrell, Paul Booth, Guy Aitchison, Josh Duffy and David Corden.
Adie's life revolves around tattooing and little else gives him more satisfaction than seeing his clients leave with smiles on their faces.

Tinka has been tattooing professionally for eight years, and is from an Art College background. She also does regular guest spots around Europe.
In her free time she enjoy designing clothes and Graphic Design.

Peter has always been interested in art and drawing, and spent his formative years perfecting his exceptional natural talent with much practice and an ever-growing collection of works, much to the delight of his family.
After a lengthy and productive career in graphic design Peter began tattooing about 15 years ago, and soon grew to love the challenge of working with a client to produce bespoke pieces of art unique to each individual. Finding that tattooing brought him greater opportunities to use his creativity and experiment with ideas he gradually increased his commitment to tattooing until he became full-time about 5 years ago.
Peter is passionate about his work and constantly strives to ensure that he is aware of any new innovations or changing trends in the trade. He excels in black and grey work, natural soft tattoos and gothic styles, but has produced many beautiful pieces for the ladies too, his flowers and fairies being particularly popular. His cover-up work is exceptional and he delights in telling people that nothing is impossible.
He is looking forward to the new challenges that the clients of Renaissance will bring to him, and is keen to demonstrate his skills in a new arena.
Born into a family of artists, it seems Jake was destined to create artwork. Growing up he spent most of his childhood drawing, if he wasn’t provided with paper and pens, much to his father’s dismay he would just draw on walls, furniture, books or anything to hand!
In 2008 Jake changed his name to Jake-X Captain Conrad and began his tattooing career.
Jake’s tattoos are prominent and you are able to find his work on the pages of numerous tattoo publications. Jake can tattoo almost anything you throw at him, with a real custom approach to tattooing; given free range he will draw in his own traditional style. Jake’s tattoos and paintings have a classic look and are truly built to last.
