Hey! I’m Hope

Hi, I’m Hope, a tattoo artist, illustrator and serial hobbyist, based at Bloom Street Tattoo Studio, Manchester.

I have over six years of tattooing experience and a lifetime of passion for drawing. Before this, I was employed in art dealing and curation, with a First Class Honours degree in Fine Art. However my love for creating began long before that, thanks to my dad, who taught me with pencil and paper at a young age.

My style is bold, sassy, and ever-evolving. I specialise in custom pieces, often inspired by pinups, florals, animals, and objects infused with attitude. I’m drawn to the beautifully dark and the unapologetically feminine, pulling inspiration from vintage kink and fetish archives, gothic horror novels, and the timeless photography of Helmut Newton. I love to travel, always chasing creative fuel; from the marble statues of Vietnam to the witchy energy of Salem.

I’m available for illustration commissions as well as tattoos. I love working closely with clients to bring their unique visions to life.

I’d love to create something special for you!
