Meet Erika
Erika is a highly experienced colour tattoo artist, award-winning custom painter and airbrush realist with over 20 years in the industry. Originally from Australia, she is now based in the UK at The Iron Quill tattoo studio in Gillingham, Kent, where she works as a full-time artist.
Erika specialises in full-colour custom work. Her portfolio features vibrant, detailed pieces including cartoons, pet portraiture, realism, neo-traditional, classic pin-up and designs inspired by nostalgic, cathedral, and Tudor themes.
Her background in custom automotive airbrushing strongly influences her tattooing, giving her exceptional command of colour theory, anatomical flow and precise line work.

Specialising in vibrant full-colour work, Erika’s portfolio spans realism, pet portraits, cartoons, neo-traditional, classic pin-up and historical-inspired designs. Her background in automotive painting and airbrushing gives her a strong command of colour, smooth gradients and precise detail.
Outside of tattooing she is a passionate custom painter and airbrush artist, regularly working on hot rods, classic vehicles and motorcycles.
She is a devoted “chi mom” to her Chihuahua Bellabug, a well-travelled companion who joined her from Australia. Erika’s love of custom cars, hot rods, and dogs (especially Chihuahuas) reflects her down-to-earth, hands-on personality.
She runs independent bookings at The Iron Quill. Free parking is available at the studio.
