Dominique Holmes is in fact an up and coming tattoo sensation who can often be found wearing the skinniest of jeans, statement towering stilettos and a retro rock tee, oh and of course her multitude of tattoos!

The rising tattoo star first became interested in body art at the very young age of 15, when she in fact got her very first tattoo. She now works as a tattoo artist completing two three- hour appointments daily and in addition to that three half hour consultations.

Holmes states that some tattoos can be created and completed within one consultation whilst others may take many more; she begins by firstly spending some time discussing ideas and concepts, creating a variety of sketches and then drawing up a final design. Every design created is a one off and up to five hours can be spent on each.

Most of Holmes clients are regulars and she already has a firm following of fans, stating that tattooing is an extremely personal experience as when you spend many hours with one same person you often build a bond. One of her favourite designs to date is a giant tattoo of a Japanese dragon.
