Meet Our Team
Torz
Hi, I'm Torz. Owner and founder of Love & Ink.
Eight years ago I wanted to bring a loving comfortable feel to the body adornment world without it being scary for those new to the scene. With my passion for ink, I bought together an awesome team to give you quality body piercings, beautiful tattoos and stunning jewellery curation.
In addition I offer permanent make up tattoos and can remove a few things too including old unwanted tattoos and hair removal.
From 2024, I'm excited to announce a move and expansion to a new premises which will home to Kent's first and only Sobriety Bar. Offering No/Low alcohol wines, beers, cocktails, coffees and milkshakes.
Come and join us for Sin Alcohol (without alcohol) drinks in our creative lounge - The Sin Bar, which offers art pads and tattoo design sheets for budding artists. We look forward to seeing you soon x
Nadia
Hi, my name is Nadia and I am a 27 year old body piercer in the Love & Ink family.
From the age of around fourteen or fifteen, I had always aspired to be a body piercer although the dream felt far away. When you're at school, they don't speak to you about this industry being an option so how do you go about it? My day came when a friend of a friend knew of an apprenticeship opening up and I joined In Skin in 2019. I have been living my dream ever since in a tattoo and piercing shop.
The act of modifying the body to a vision we see in ourselves is empowering, and my favourite part of this life is seeing pure joy on my client's faces when we bring that vision to life!
When I'm not in the studio, you'll find me mooching around with my beautiful two year old daughter, Raven and my two French Bulldogs.
I can wait to see you at Love & Ink's In Skin Adornments

Jamie
I started at In Skin in 2021 straight from Art college after aspiring to be an artist from a young age. My passion for art started from winning awards for my traditional art of charcoal and pastel drawings and this translated into a passion for the art of tattooing.
After years of building my art portfolio I found an apprentice opportunity with Love & ink where I learned under the mentorship of Johnny Gray and Torz how to apply my art to skin.
I particularly love working with black and grey soft shading most, often realism pieces with designs centred around nature with a surreal and abstract touch.
In my free time, you can find me in a quirky museum, up a climbing wall or on a roller coaster....or in a corner of the studio drawing. Come say hi!

Amy
Hi, I am Amy, I am a small town girl born and bred in Royal Tunbridge Wells, I have always had a massive passion for the art of tattooing, from a young age. I was inspired by the art transferred to skin and landed on my feet with an incredible opportunity at Love and Ink at In Skin.
Amy is our apprentice artist, pursuing the styles of geometric pattern designs alongside line work, traditional styles and realism. Amy tailors her approach to each customer to make their experience more personable to ensure they have an awesome service and walk away with a fabulous tattoo and lots of smiles.

Toni
I’m Toni, a body piercing apprentice at Love & Ink. After being a long time client and falling in love with body modification, I joined the team in October 2023.
I’m always around to take your bookings, help with any jewellery choice decisions, or to peer over our piercers’ shoulder to observe and learn.
It fills me with pure happiness to help people feel more like their authentic selves with the art of piercing. To some a piercing can be a simple decorative statement, to others it can help form positive connections with their bodies. No matter the reasoning behind the piercing, we’re here to help you achieve what you’re aiming for.
Mike
