Sam Ricketts – The Ghost In The Hall

I've followed the work of Sam Ricketts for a long time, with him starting out close to where I live, even getting tattooed by him around 6 or 7 years ago. His incredibly bold designs always struck me and constantly evolved style. Sam is a tattooer who's work is never static, but always executed perfectly. I couldn't wait to have a more in-depth chat with him about his time in tattooing.

Interviews

El Bara

Bara is a tattooer who is hugely admired by many of the guys in our studio. We had heard that he was going to be guesting at Angelic Hell in Brighton so I asked Hugh to interview him. We made our way to Brighton on a cold December evening to catch up with Bara after his day of work. It was cool to meet all the folk down at Angelic Hell and great to meet a humble guy with such a wealth of experience.

Dan, a precision engineer, and Mark with his tattoo skills have worked to make something that hand poking tattoo artists can rely on as well as keep hygienic at all times.

Dickie Golden Tattoo Machines

Dickie Golden is our first featured machine builder from outside the UK. Dickie is currently creating a stir with his machines over in Germany. Specialising in custom one-offs, his work is really worth checking out. His machines definitely have a different feel to them and, from what tattooists have told us, they are great to work with too.

Mark Pettigrew

Mark has been around in the tattoo game since way back in 1976, which makes him an ideal source for this feature. We asked him about the way things use to be in tattoo land when he was starting out, how he got started and how things have changed. Seems like us kids don’t even know we’re born!
