WELCOME TO MANCAVE INK 👋🏽 Located at 102 Sandgate Road, in a lovely, spacious studio tucked away at the rear of ManCave Barbershop, we’re home to two resident artists. @tattoosbykemz is an award-winning tattoo artist who has worked around the world, specialising in black and grey realism and cover-up work, while remaining highly versatile across a wide range of styles. Alongside him is @mykindofinking, the newest member of our team. Having completed his apprenticeship, he’s now fully immersed in developing his own artistic voice—refining his technique, expanding his style range, and building a strong portfolio. With a sharp eye for detail and a real passion for the craft, he’s quickly gaining confidence and making his mark, offering fresh creativity and dedication to every piece he takes on.

Lovely Wolf made by @tattoosbykemz recently, he has space available March/April, drop him a message directly to get booked in and make sure you’re tattoo is fully healed ready for the summer 🌞 #tattoo#folkestone#tattooart#tattooideas#folkestonetattoo

We’re proud to officially welcome David to the ManCave family After recently completing his apprenticeship, David is stepping onto the floor as our newest Junior Artist — and his progression has been impressive. His confidence, detail, and passion for the craft are growing every day, and it’s been amazing to watch his work level up. To celebrate this next chapter, David will be offering slightly lower rates than our other artists for a limited time while he continues sharpening his style — so now’s the perfect chance to get booked in and support rising local talent. Keep an eye on his latest pieces… this is just the beginning. 💉🖤 — at ManCave Folkestone.

Hey everyone — I’m Kemz, resident tattoo artist at ManCave Ink Folkestone. Based at 102 Sandgate Road, I bring years of experience and a global artistic journey right here to Folkestone. 🖤 My Journey & Passions • I’m an award-winning tattoo artist who’s travelled far and wide — I’ve tattooed across the UK, Scilly, China and the USA. • Before tattooing I served 15 years in the armed forces. After medical discharge, I rediscovered purpose through ink. • In 2018 I walked across America as part of a massive charity initiative with Walking with the Wounded — an experience that profoundly shaped my outlook and commitment to mental health awareness. • I’m proud to have been involved with suicide-prevention awareness among tattoo artists — I believe tattooing can be more than art: it can be therapy, connection and healing. 🎨 What I Specialise In My work mostly focusses on styles that demand precision, nuance, and soul: • Black & Grey Realism — shadows, depth, and skin-tone realism • Neo-Traditional — bold shading, colour, and fun • Portraits & Day-of-the-Dead / Payasa / Chicano-inspired realism — capturing faces, heritage, emotion • Cover-ups & Reworks — transforming past pieces into new meaningful works Whether you want a deeply personal portrait, a bold cultural piece, or a cover-up that finally feels right — I’ve got the skill and the heart to bring it to life. #tattoo#folkestone#folkestonetattoo#uktattooartists#dover#sandgate
