Sponsored Artist of the Month – Willy G
Willy Grattan, aka Willy G, is a multi-award-winning tattoo artist from Northern Ireland who specialises in black and grey realism.
Although only starting to tattoo professionally in 2012, Willy G’s talent and flair for body art was evident, managing to win multiple awards in just his second year of tattooing.
Willy G is the owner of self-named studio Willy G Tattoo in Whitehead, Northern Ireland – just a stone’s throw away from the sea with a picturesque view.
It’s not just the scenery that catches the eye though; step into the studio and you’ll find the man responsible for many awesome black and grey roses and portraits throughout the years.
His work has even brought many famous faces over to County Antrim to be tattooed, including footballers Kyle Lafferty, Rúben Neves, and Leonardo Bonatini.
Willy G also received notoriety in the news for an incredible mastectomy tattoo that he created on breast cancer survivor Sabrina Devlin.
Like many, Sabrina chose Willy G to tattoo her as she had “been following his work for ages and knew he could do what I wanted.”
To create his stunning black and grey tattoos, Willy G uses various supplies from Killer Ink Tattoo, including Hustle Butter Deluxe.
Make sure to follow Willy Grattan on his Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages to keep up to date with his latest work!
