Founder & Lead Artist

Meet our founder

The hands behind the ink — Bloodwell.

Bloodwell is the founder and main specialist at Bethaaink. He built this parlour out of a deep love for the craft — and a belief that getting tattooed or pierced should feel personal, safe, and a little bit sacred.

With years behind the machine and hundreds of happy clients across Cape Town, his work spans bold tribal pieces, soft black & grey realism, fine line botanicals, and full custom sleeves. Every session starts with a conversation — never a rush.

"I don't just tattoo skin — I tattoo stories. Every line means something, and I treat every client like family."
