Meet Bruno Wayhs

Bruno Wayhs - portrait tattoo artist

Bruno Wayhs

Portrait Specialist · Studio Founder

Bruno has been tattooing for over 20 years. Portraits are his obsession - not making skin look like a photograph, but capturing the thing that makes someone truly recognisable. The way they smile, the look in their eyes, the feeling you get when you see their face. That's what he puts on skin.

People fly in from across Europe specifically for Bruno's portrait work. He'll look at your reference photo, tell you honestly how it'll translate, and give you a clear quote before you commit to anything.

"I got a portrait of my nan done by Bruno. When my mum saw it she started crying - she said it doesn't just look like her, it IS her. The expression is perfect. I can't believe this was done in one session."

"Flew down from Manchester for Bruno specifically. He captured my dad in a way I didn't think was possible - it's not just accurate, it actually feels like him. Worth every penny and every mile."

Jade W.
★★★★★

"Portrait of my daughter on my forearm. Bruno spent time understanding the expression I wanted before starting. Four hours later I walked out with something that genuinely captures her. People stop me to look at it constantly."

Portrait FAQs

Most portraits are completed in a single session of around 4 hours. You walk in with a photo, you walk out with a finished portrait. No follow-ups needed.
The clearer the better. High-resolution photos with good lighting and a clear view of the face work best. Bruno will tell you honestly if the photo will work well as a tattoo, and if not, he'll suggest alternatives. Don't worry if you're unsure - just send what you have and he'll advise.
Absolutely. Many of our portrait clients want to honour someone they've lost. Bruno approaches these pieces with the care and respect they deserve. Send us the best photo you have and we'll make sure the portrait captures them perfectly.
Yes - Bruno does pet portraits too. Dogs, cats, horses - if you've got a clear photo, he can tattoo it. Same process: send the photo, get a quote, one session, done.
Pricing depends on size and detail. Send us your reference photo and Bruno will give you an exact quote - no ranges, no "starting from." You'll know the price before you commit. Finance is available through Klarna and PayItMonthly at 0% interest.
Bruno's style isn't about making a smooth photocopy of your image - it's about capturing what makes that person recognisable. The expression, the character, the feeling you get when you look at their face. He'll show you examples of similar work before you book so you know exactly what to expect.
