Michelle Taylor is a lovely tattoo artist who resides in Hastings. She has recently opened up her own tattoo parlour in central Hastings after working with other studios for four years. The parlour was originally a hayloft for the horses in the stables below. Is it the only working tattoo parlour with its own winching wheel? Have a look at the Monkey Paw Tattoo Parlour or better yet, use it.

Michelle has worked in many sectors including the production and selling of clothes, furnishings and jewellery; worked in the homelessness sector; completed her Fine Art degree in 2007 which majored in Installations. this then laid the path for art markets, exhibitions, open submissions and a shop in Hastings called i-Candy Arts - its ethos being to make art practised involvement to all. Michelle is a multi-tasker, she worked on i-Candy at the same time as working in her own studio, running club nights. She has now settled down to produce her own nature, Japanese, cover-up, rework and bespoke drawings and tattoos.
