Thomas Hooper
Born in Hastings in East Sussex (UK), Thomas Hooper studied Drawing at the London Institute of Art and Design, but subsequently moved to New York to pursue his objectives in art and tattooing. After some time at New York's Saved Tattoo _ a place that Hooper still guests regularly _ he can now be found at Rock of Ages in Austin, Texas. Hooper's style is deeply influenced by Tibetan iconography, alchemical and early scientific illustrations, traditional woodcuts, and mystic cosmology. He has always been interested in exploring themes and imagery connected with death and rebirth. The attention to detail and extraordinary precision have earned Thomas Hooper a place among the best contemporary tattooists and artists.
