Tattoo Twists is a series of short films produced for Channel 4. The films follow a collection of people and tattoo artists on their tattoo cover-up journeys, discussing the reasons behind why they want to change their existing tattoos.
This series is a refreshing and positive take on tattoos by Channel 4, gone are the judgemental narratives and in their place are real tattoo enthusiasts.
The human stories behind tattoos that get covered up or changed, for all kinds of reasons, from wiping memories of an ex to creating a ‘new you’

I loved these short films. So refreshing. Beautifully shot, with honest, interesting, personal narratives – far more positive than most other tattoo related TV productions.
Thanks for the recommendation! What a lovely series, I just watched them all in one go.
Glad you enjoyed the films. I commissioned them for Channel 4. Please do spread the word because the more they are watched, the quicker I get to make some more!
Hi Adam
I want to ask if you are doing anymore tattoo twists.
My girlfriend has a big mess of a tattoo on her back which was done whilst she was addicted to heroin when she was a teenager. She is now 34 and has been clean for 10 years.
I know it would mean so much to her and she has been so brave as she went through a lot of bad things including contracting HIV, I’m more proud of her than I am of anyone.
I hope this message finds you well and happy.
