The Artists

Every artist at Big Will's has been personally selected for their craft, their character, and their care. We don't hire artists who are simply good — we hire people who are genuinely passionate.

01 Big Will's Tattoo Studio — Lichfield reception Founder & Lead Artist

Est. 2018

Will

Founder · Lead Artist · 20+ Years Experience

Will didn't choose tattooing — it chose him. He fell into it by helping out a friend at his studio on a particularly hectic day, and never looked back. Over two decades, he trained under a senior artist, refined his craft across multiple studios throughout the West Midlands, and eventually built his own.

Today he leads Big Will's across two locations, working with every client personally on consultations and continuing to tattoo daily. His 20+ years of experience shows in every line, every shade, every finished piece.
