Stephen Shaw is a tattoo artist in Peterborough whose work centres on American traditional. Across the 107 pieces on Perspectiv the work spans American traditional, realism and dotwork, with American traditional making up about 77% of it. About 81% of the pieces use colour, most often dark red, coral and forest; the rest are black and grey. Recurring subjects include skull, tiger, flames and woman. Most pieces sit on the forearm or the thigh. There are 88 healed pieces in the set, not just fresh work. Portfolio last updated August 2026.
