LIAM HUNTER TATTOOS

HI! Iโ€™M LIAMโ€ฆ

I'm Liam Hunter, Iโ€™m a fine artist and tattoo artist currently based in Manchester, Uk. I have spent the last (almost) 20 years tattooing throughout the UK, Europe and the U.S. My creative journey began probably before I could walk. I learned portraiture at a younger age, drawing those smooth, almost porcelain portraits of my grandfathers RAF squadron from the Second World War. I drew throughout my entire childhood, and discovered the dark art of oil painting. From there, through a love of hip hop and art, I began graffiti writing and from there I enrolled in Bradford college of art where I rediscovered my love of fine art, from here I was given the opportunity to take on a tattoo apprenticeship. From then on, itโ€™s pretty much all iโ€™ve ever known. Tattooing is not only my profession, itโ€™s also my passion. I live and breath my work, and pride myself on putting all of myself into every tattoo I do.

You will find me tattooing at North of Winter tattoo collective in Manchester. My approach towards tattooing comes from my understanding of fine art, and of light, shadow, values and proportions, and through my understanding of tattooing, I use techniques involving flow, and body composition to create tattoos that not only look great, but also have the staying power to heal well and look amazing for years to come!

Throughout my 20 years of tattooing, combined with my love for fine art, and photography, I view your tattoo as its own piece of fine art, which I will together with you to create something you will be proud of for years to come! Each tattoo has its own inherent value to each and every person and I will work with you to create the best piece of artwork for you!

Client Reviews

โ€œLiam is an incredible tattoo artist. Insanely talented and very professional, cannot recommend more. I spent 2 full days with him getting my sleeve and had so much fun. I was so comfortable and well looked after, the studio was amazing and pristine, I had a blast! Was so happy with the design and of course could not be happier with the end result. Can't wait to get the rest of my sleeve done soon! Thanks Liam! Xโ€

โ€œI cannot recommend Liam highly enough, having been tattooed by him numerous times and returning for further sessions with him in the near future.
From start to finish, the entire experience is outstanding. His professionalism, communication, and attention to detail makes me feel completely comfortable and confident throughout the process.
Liam is incredibly accommodating, taking the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and offering expert advice to make the design even better than I imagined. His realism work is absolutely phenomenal โ€” the level of detail, shading, and precision is genuinely next level.
Not only is Liam exceptionally talented, but he also creates such a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere from the moment you have your initial conversation, to the minute he talks you through your aftercare. You can tell he truly cares about his clients and takes immense pride in his work. Iโ€™m beyond ecstatic with my pieces by Liam and canโ€™t wait for my next sitting.
If youโ€™re looking for a skilled, professional, and genuinely brilliant tattoo artist that specialises in realism, look no further. 5 stars simply isn't enough!โ€

โ€œBeen going to Liam for over 10 years absolutely smashed every tattoo I have had will only go to him. No matter what where he goes in the world.โ€

โ€” Michael

โ€œI mean, where to start... I found Liam through a friend of a friend who I met and instantly knew I needed a tattoo from whoever did his, turned out to be Liam.

Fast forward 7 years, 2 arms, a leg, 12 Netflix series, countless Jo Rogan episodes and many alleged conversations that can't make it to this review later, I can truly recommend him for absolutely anything realism.

Attached my favourite so far.
