– Treubhan –

Treubhan is a tribal tattoo artist working mainly with Celtic and Pictish pattern work. He grew up in Edinburgh, a place surrounded by Celtic heritage, which shaped his early interest in the art form.

His first steps into Celtic art began at school, carving Celtic lyres and making bronze shields. This developed into more complex construction of Celtic patterns, followed by a period of study that eventually led him into tattooing in 2009 in Edinburgh.

Treubhan has a deep connection to the South Pacific and Asia, spending time working alongside traditional tribal tattoo artists. This experience shaped his approach, focusing on bringing Celtic and Pictish designs closer to the feel of traditional tribal tattoos. It also reinforced the importance of deeply rooted culture in art, especially in tattooing.

He now works on both small and large scale tattoo projects, alongside carving, painting, and developing books documenting Celtic and Pictish art.

Treubhan works from 1770 Tattoo in Brighton, and also works in London and Edinburgh from time to time, while continuing to travel and work abroad.
