Gavin Rourke

Gavin Rourke left school with dreams of becoming a musician which he achieved with moderate success with the band Dog Toffee where he first met Sean Lyons.
With the love of music also came a love of tattoos and with that he started getting work at Sacred Art in Manchester. He started his apprenticeship there and after two years he moved up to Exile Tattoos in Cumbria where Sean completed his apprenticeship.
Another two years there resulted in him and Sean opening 72 Tattoo.
They have had continued success and a rapidly growing customer base ever since. Gavin feels very fortunate to be living his life doing something he loves.
