About

Drawn2Ink has a new face behind the brushes: tattoo artist Rick Shaw, of The Broken Puppet studio in Worthing, UK, has joined Drawn2Ink.

Rick has spent years tattooing, teaching apprentices, and building a following of tattoo artists on Instagram as @thebrokenpuppet, where he shares tattooing technique, studio life, and advice on breaking into the industry. He's also the author of The Tattoo Apprentice: The Complete Guide, a 352-page book on getting and surviving a tattoo apprenticeship.

Every brush set, 3D model and pattern pack on this site is built and tested for real tattoo work, the same standard Rick holds his own studio to.
