My name is Scarlet, also known as BluePunk. I'm the founder of BluePunk Tattoo and studio owner.
I'm best known for my watercolour tattoos, which I won my first award for in 2019. I love working on big colour and graphic pieces and subjects I never get bored of tattooing include animals, gaming, geek and music.
I'm originally from Manchester, UK and started my tattoo career with an apprenticeship at the awesome
Ancoats-based studio Secret Society Tattoo. When I moved to Finland I worked at Silk Ink and Dead Sailor Tattoo before opening my own studio in August 2022. My background is in fine art and I'm an internationally selling visual artist.
