About Me - Meraki Fade

​

Welcome. I’m Meraki Fade, the artist behind Meraki FadeFX and Brighton Tattoo Museum. I specialise in creating bespoke, detailed tattoos, focusing on geometric, dotwork, and mandala designs. With nearly 20  years of experience in the tattoo industry, I’ve had the privilege of tattooing worldwide and running my tattoo studio in Brighton, England.

​

Throughout my journey, I’ve had the honour of working alongside some of the Godparents of the global contemporary tattoo industry. I’ve also been fortunate enough to study ancient tattoo practices and interview tattoo historians, even meeting them in some of the most remote regions on Earth. The Arts Council of England has sponsored my tattoo anthropology work, and I’ve contributed articles to publications like Total Tattoo Magazine, SkinDeep, and Ladies of Tattooing Worldwide. I've set up and curated the Brighton Tattoo Museum and lectured at The Boston Folk Art Society, The Great North Museum and global tattoo conventions.

​

Tattooing is more than just an art form—it’s a deep-rooted passion and a way to connect with people on a personal level. My approach to tattooing is all about collaboration. I believe in working closely with each client, from the first consultation to the final sitting, to ensure that every design is unique and personal. Whether looking for intricate geometric patterns or a flowing mandala, every design is bespoke and tailored to fit your body perfectly.

​

I pride myself on my creative freedom to design the ideal tattoo for you—one that you’ll love forever. My goal is simple: to create a piece of art.
