About Us

Hey, I’m Kevin Kay — a tattoo artist based at GemzInk Studio in Heywood, Manchester. I specialise in black and grey realism and custom script work, creating pieces that feel personal, detailed, and built to last.

Tattooing isn’t just a job to me — it’s a craft I take pride in. Whether you’re after a portrait, meaningful lettering, or something unique that tells your story, I work closely with you to make sure every piece is spot on. Every tattoo is custom-drawn, with real care taken to get the detail, flow, and placement right.

I’m always learning and developing as an artist, and building a portfolio I’m proud of. My aim is to create tattoos that not only look good on day one, but stay solid for years to come.

If you’ve got an idea — big or small — I’d love to chat and bring it to life with you. Drop me a message or pop into the shop for a consult
