Ace Kelly

How long have you been tattooing?
Since 2017.

What is your style?
The main style I do is realism, but I like to dabble in a bit of everything.

What made you want to tattoo?
My brother and a good mate of mine from high school are both tattoo artists on the coast, so they both got me into tattooing.

Favourite part of your job?
Meeting a lot of different people, and I get to talk shit all day. It’s fun, you know.

Weirdest tattoo you have done?
I’ve tattooed some weird body parts on older people.

What do you think is the biggest tattoo stereotype that is not true?
That tattooists love getting tattoos; most tattoo artists are pussies, I think.

Where do you want to go in your career?
Do a bit of traveling, tattooing, meet other artists, and experience other artists' lifestyles.
