London Tattooist Nikole Lowe Inks Wallpaper

New Zealand-born tattooist Nikole Lowe, 47, who lives in London and runs studio, Good Times Tattoo, has taken her skills in a new direction – wallpaper design.

After the studio was closed by Covid-19, Lowe, who was a star of the TV show London Ink, partnered with Wallpapered.com owner Kat Truong, a fan of the tattooist’s Chinese-style artwork.

The partnership has now seen six of Lowe’s paintings turned into wallcoverings for sale on the Wallpapered.com website.

Truong said: “Pushing the artistic boundaries has been a priority and introducing a collection of authentic, hand-painted artwork with minimal digital input is a dream come true.

“Nikole’s paintings are stunning and to be able to reproduce them as wall murals where every detail of the brushstroke is visible is amazing.”
