Colin Jones has the skills to make looking through his portfolio a bit of a treat. I love it when I find a tattoo artist whose work increasingly excites me as I flip through tattoo after tattoo. He’s only been tattooing since 2003, he’s entirely self-taught and oh yeah, I’m not just saying he’s good because we both share the same surname. He’s very much a gifted artist.
Colin’s tattoo studio is called Stained Glass and is located in the town of Shrewsbury, England. Judging from the information on the studio’s website, Stained Glass is a small, tightly knit spot for a tattoo, staffed with some very fine artists indeed.
Though Colin’s work is more recently becoming influenced by his interest in Asian and Japanese design, he also seems to be able to handle it all and maintains a particular passion for working on cover ups – something that not too many tattooists have a liking for. If you take a look through his online portfolio, you can flip through Jones’ cover up work and see that he certainly does have a knack for it. For sure, there’s some really nice transformations on there.
If you’re ever in the area, stop by Stained Glass and meet Colin and the lads. There’s some good stuff going on.
