Meet the team

Dan Dygas

Dan has been tattooing for 15 years professionally, joining from the very beginning of our previous iteration and now co-owning Evergreen Studio with his partner Steph. Dan is also now sponsored by Underdog tattoo balm.

“I love 'colouring people in' for a job. I try my hardest to create the best art I can for my clients. A small tattoo is just as important as large work. (full arms, legs and backs).

I enjoy tattooing all different styles of work, my favourite styles of tattooing that I most enjoy doing are Japanese and pattern work, portraits, realism, My main art influence is Alphonse Mucha, which is art nouveau. When I have spare time I like to paint and generally scribbling on things.”

Steph Hesketh

Steph joined the studio back in July 2014 in its previous life, and is now co-owner of Evergreen Studio with her partner Dan.

“I mostly specialise in realism tattoos. My favourite things to tattoo are portraits, whether they are portraits of famous faces or portraits of loved ones, I really enjoy creating faces. I love working in both colour and black and grey, both can look amazing as tattoos. As well as portraits I also really enjoy a variety of other style of tattoos, for example feminine pattern work pieces such as henna style or mandalas with intricate line work and dot work or more stylised geometric pieces with watercolour painting like colours. My portfolio is quite varied, and I enjoy being able to work in a broad range of styles as it always keeps my work days interesting.”

Aga Wojtczak

Aga was previously a part of our previous iteration tattooing for 9 years, continuing onto Evergreen Studio in 2022.

“I have a very dedicated and loyal client base. My style is fine lined black and white with decorative flourishes. I also love colourful work.

If you'd like to book a consultation with me please contact us so we can sit down and talk about your dream tattoo.”

Aidan Murphy

Originally from Suffolk, Aidan studied illustration at Coventry university and then joined our team in June 2018 as an apprentice. He started tattooing in March 2019 and his preferred styles are traditional, black & grey and lettering.

Alice Teighe

Alice joined the team in 2021 for her apprenticeship and continuing onto Evergreen Studio from 2022.

Kelsee Porter

Kels joined the studio in August 2023 as a Junior Artist.

“I love creating illustrative dot work tattoos, the darker and spookier the better! Skulls and lady faces are some of my favourite subject matters.

When I’m not tattooing I can be found painting (especially art nouveau style pieces), baking, or trying to befriend local pigeons.”

Laura-Rose Goldsmith

Laura joined us in September 2023 as a junior artist.

"Hi!! I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil, and that love of creating has evolved into me being able to make permanent doodles for the old skin suit. (Could have just put tattoos really couldn't I?)

I find inspiration in Tibetan artwork, (look up thangka paintings - beautiful!) and love painting / tattooing in this style, using aaallllll the colour! I also adore patternwork - the bigger and bolder the better, so if either sound like your jam, get in touch!"
