Danny's interest in tattooing spans back to 1997 and was  born out of his love for art. he completed a two year advanced GNVQ in art and design at Totton college before moving on to obtain a national diploma in art and design. It was after a two year spell of traveling and visiting tattoo artist around the globe, that he decided to settle and hone his artistic and tattooing skill at the Poison Ink Studio. Danny's forte is in custom designs and freehand work, he is fast becoming recognized for both his modern and traditional Japanese and oriental style. 

Mason's time was served at Poison Ink and he is now tattooing to a very high standard. His ability to plot tattoos precisely to customer requirements and especially now being in the position to apply his own designs to customers, makes Mason a good choice for customers who need a little help with the finishing touches. At the present time Mason is excelling in Traditional and new Traditional work. Mason can be found this year tattooing along side Danny at the Tattoo Jam 2011 in Doncaster.

Steph started her career in tattooing back in 2002, originally a body piercer she decided to expand her skill of body art and started an apprenticeship with a licensed mobile tattoo studio. On completion of her tattooing apprenticeship Steph took a chair and worked for two years in a shop in Newbury, she then moved over to Basingstoke where she met and started to work alongside Dave Mitchell. Yearning for a fresh working environment and more time to focus on her artwork, Steph also decided to come and work at the Poison Ink Studio where she enjoys working in her favorite styles such as gray shade, delicate designs (using no black) and animal portraits.

Dave started his career in tattooing at the studio of Tattoo Magic in Southampton, where he completed a hard but enjoyable apprenticeship. On gaining a chair at Tattoo Magic for a couple of days a week and further covering he decided to take a full time chair at a shop in Basingstoke, where for a while he juggled between the two shops working 7 days a week. Eventually Dave left Tattoo Magic and worked full time for five years in his home town of Basingstoke. Wanting a fresh challenge, on our opening Dave decided to join the Poison Ink Studio where with fresh ideas he wants to take his artwork to an even higher level concentrating more on custom work and his love for gray shade and traditional art.
