Hello! My name is Catalin Ion, better known as John Dark Tattoo. I’m a Romanian tattoo artist based in Norwich, UK, and the owner of Dark Tattoo Company. With over 8 years of experience and multiple award-winning tattoos, I specialise in black and grey realism. I love creating original, custom pieces that tell a story, combining strong contrast, rich saturation, and attention to every detail to produce tattoos that stand the test of time. I’m proud to be a member of the Yayo Familia Pro Team. I’ve been using and trusting Yayo products for over three years, and they have become an essential part of my workflow, helping me deliver the best possible experience and healing results for my clients.

  • Specialises in black and grey realism
  • Masquerade Tattoo Studios, Knarr Mill
I am a black and grey realism tattoo artist and the owner of Masquerade Tattoo Studio, established in 2017. With over 13 years of experience, I specialise in large-scale custom work with a strong focus on portraits and high-contrast realism. Known for my attention to detail and commitment to quality over speed, my work is designed not just to look good on the day, but to age well over time. Every piece is carefully considered to suit the client’s body, ensuring flow, placement, and longevity are at the core of each design. Based at my private studio, I work closely with each client to create fully custom pieces, building long-term projects that evolve over multiple sittings. As a Pro Sponsored Artist for YAYO, I continue to push my craft while aligning with brands that reflect my standards in both quality and care.

  • Specialises in colour surrealism
  • Grey Heron Tattoo Studio, Derby
Hey! My name is Kimmi and I specialise in colour surrealism with a painterly, watercolour-inspired style. I create fully custom pieces built around each person, focusing on flow, contrast, and how the design sits on the body. My process is relaxed and straightforward,from initial idea through to the finished piece. I mainly work in full-day sessions so there’s time to settle in and just keep the whole experience easy and enjoyable. I am thrilled to be part of the Yayo Familia Pro Team! My clients absolutely love the aftercare pack that I include for them.
