Tattoo Artist: Gary Helyar

About Gary

@helyartattoos

Gary has created his own unique style. The closest category that people link it to is Darkwork. He puts his soul into his one of a kind character designs. Having pursued many artistic interests from a young age, he developed a passion for tattooing. His work is impacted by his personal experiences and those who are close to him, with inspiration drawn from living close to the sea, moorland, and forests.

He has attended conventions and guest spots both in the UK and internationally. Instead of commission work, Gary releases sought after designs at various points throughout the year, and clients apply for bookings. He has a pleasant, professional demeanour which helps to put clients at ease.

Outside of tattooing he enjoys surfing with the Artium crew, walking in wild places, exploring in his camper van, nighttime adventures in the cold, making music, drawing, wood carving, needle felting, new creative things and Alfred!

Gary hopes to continue to work alongside his talented friends, developing as an artist and as a person. He prefers private moments to public displays, allowing his work to speak for itself.

In essence, Gary Helyar is more than just a tattoo artist; he is a visionary and storyteller who uses his dark tattoos to expertly communicate his distinct style, making art that is both profound and soulful. His clientele and the art world as a whole resonate with his work.
