Hayley Chiplin - Hachi Tattoo

Visual Art – Perth

Artist born and raised in Perth - I have been tattooing for a year and before that I was finishing my Advanced Diploma in graphic design. Tattooing has been a great way to project my love on art in a more physical way. Having your art on someone’s flesh just adds another dimension to it. It’s extremely therapeutic for me too, the process is amazing for both the client and me. And it’s difficult, always challenging and you can always get better. My goal is to Travel around the world tattooing. I love neotraditional style and Japanese. I currently still do graphic design part time, I really enjoy digital art and using traditional mediums to design. I have been drawing my whole life. I have received many awards for illustration and design in the last few years. The Illustration award 2016 - Advanced Diploma of Graphic Design, North Metropolitan Tafe. The Beaumont award 2016 - Advanced Diploma of Graphic Design, North Metropolitan Tafe. Merit award - International Society of Typographic Designers 2016 Shine exhibition participant 2017 - North Metropolitan Tafe Alumni
