The Team

Manager of Exile, Charlie specialises in black & grey tattooing. He found his passion when exploring Chicano culture & aims to continue learning how to honour the history of this style whilst producing quality tattoos.

Luke has been with Exile from the beginning, covering a vast range of styles. Mostly know for his clean pattern work, bold colour anime pieces and striking ornamental designs, he can do it all. Luke loves to take on big scale pieces, and is our go to cover-up artist. 

Cheyne is dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming space for neurodivergent clients. As a ND artist herself, accessibility and comfort are at the heart of her work. Qualified in BSL Level 2 and currently completing Level 3, Cheyne is striving to further widen accessibility. She enjoys tattooing across a range of styles and brings empathy, patience, and creativity to every piece.

Xav has been tattooing since the 90’s and has years of experience in many different styles. Xav loves making jewelery and Linocut printing, which is reflected in his bold, unique tattoo designs. 

Niall has been at Exile since 2022. Still early in his career Niall is enjoying exploring different styles, he shows great skill with delicate designs, clean line work and gentle stipple shading. Hoping to take on larger pieces, he is definitely one to keep your eye on in the future. 

Rhi (Pierce of mind) is our piercer, with us since 2025. Firm on her passion for quality over quantity, you can trust that Rhi will always give her professional advice on your anatomy and ensure you leave Exile feeling truly cared for as a person, not just a client. 

Ella is our apprentice, starting out strong with incredible promise in her tattoo designs. Learning from Luke and Charlie she will have a strong foundation in her tattoo career. We look forward to seeing what Ella will bring to Exile.
