5x5 with Joe Chatt

5x5 with Joe Chatt

For no.9 in our 5×5 series I’ve chosen Joe Chatt. Working out of London’s Old Habits (formerly Shangri-La), Joe is a young tattooer showing serious talent. Featuring all the skulls, snakes and biker girls you could ever need Joe’s work definitely has roots in biker imagery but he also turns out tonnes of beautiful dragons and other classic imagery. All in all Joe is definitely one to watch.
