MAT lapping & Andy Walker are proud to present HULL's ONLY MULTI AWARD WINNING TATTOO STUDIO  .   . . . creative VANDALS . Custom specialists!!!! Established in 2010 Creative Vandals owners Mat Lapping and Andy Walker opened up Hull's first custom studio. Mat has over 15 years of experience   in tattooing. Andy after apprenticing for a year with Mat has now been tattooing full time for 7 years. Both quickly put the studio on the map nationally and internationally after picking up award after award! These awards include some of the most sought after in the game including best international male!!

A few years down the line and nothing has changed the shop now has over 30 awards to its name from various conventions around the world!

The shop has recently expanded firstly taking on Dane Grannon, a locally recognised talent. Dane fitted straight into the team instantly picking up awards and sponsorship. The diversity in Danes work is spectacular! Putting out anything from new school to black and grey, Realism to watercolour!

The second addition was Helio Meniconi (Niorkz) who was also picking up recognition locally. Niorkz influences come from his homeland of Chile, were he started out from a graffiti based background. He soon put his name firmly in place at conventions around the world, picking up awards with the Creative Vandals team usually for his Custom Script!! He makes letters look less boring. The days of getting a simple name have changed and it is now a form of art! Just check his work for the individuality in each piece!


Within this time we also took Nick on as a shop manager. Soon after he became our Laser Removal Technician. Now with over 2500 people registered with our laser department, we can offer a service of full removal, or as most people prefer, get rid of something bad and make way for something awesome!!!!

Our studio is a family atmosphere, we are all good friends and welcome all of our clients. The vibe is relaxed, providing you guys with a professional service. A normal day includes sorting your design, then helping you relax with a few films, some music and a laugh with us!!

Get in touch now!!

And remember work speaks for itself, check out our artists and know that you're getting the best.

Tag 3 mates!! 4. Share this post A carbon peel is a revolutionary laser treatment that is completely PAINLESS with minimal-to-zero downtime. It is highly beneficial for people with oily skin, blackheads, enlarged pores, dull skin, and acne on the face or body. It is also an excellent way to exfoliate and refresh your skin, providing an instant refreshed appearance and leaving skin feeling softer, smoother and firmer. A layer of liquid carbon is applied to the skin, where it penetrates deep into the pores. Laser light is highly attracted to the carbon particles. When the laser is passed over the area, it destroys the carbon, taking dead skin cells, contaminants and oil with it. Useful on fine lines and wrinkles, oily or spotty skin (not acne) shrinking pores, improves general complexion and lives skin feeling fresh.

Few months ago Jude asked me to draw him as captain America, which I did, that then barrel rolled into me drawing him as his favourite characters. His favourite thing is transformers, so he asked me to draw baby Optimus prime, then bumblebee, then another and another lol. We printed them out for him to colour in. Long story short I decided to make him his own colouring book for Xmas, so started drawing, because no one makes stuff anymore, something personal. I put it up on Instagram n everyone wanted one haha, so I've had a few printed off. So if you know anyone (young or old) who's Transformers mad, then share this with them or buy em something for Xmas they can't get in the shops, it's 90 pages A5 Colouring Art Book. Or just share it anyway haha cheers. I'll put a link in the comments. There's also prints on there too for anyone interested or for Xmas. Cheers MAT http://www.matlapping.bigcartel.com/product/pre-order-lil-vandals-transformers-colouring-art-book
