MEET THE TEAM

Tattoo Artist
Iain Strannigan
Tattooing since 2013, Iain’s work is built around black & grey realism, Japanese influence and strong illustrative composition. Detail matters, but so does how a tattoo reads from across the room. He founded Valhalla in 2013 and still tattoos full-time from the studio.

Tattoo Artist
Steven
Steven makes bold tattoos with plenty of personality. His work moves between black & grey, colour and traditional tattooing, with a heavy dose of comics, pop culture and illustration thrown in. Clean lines, solid colour and pieces that aren't afraid to stand out.
Steven operates as an independent, self-employed tattoo artist working from Valhalla Studio.

Tattoo Artist
Erin
Erin's work is delicate without disappearing. Fine-line florals, botanical pieces and soft black & grey are her territory, with designs built around the natural shape and movement of the body. Clean, considered and unmistakably hers.
Erin operates as an independent, self-employed tattoo artist working from Valhalla Studio.
