After more than a decade of inking incredible tattoo designs to people across the UK, Nottingham’s Sarah Louise Powell has been named Black Businessperson of the Year by the Black Achievers Awards.
With a fast-growing business, beloved by its many clients, Sarah has enjoyed rapid success since opening her studio in 2022, after completing residencies alongside other leading tattoo artists across the city.
Taking the plunge she has gone on to create a successful business, which is attracting attention from peers and customers alike, who have fallen in love with her incredible work.
Recently featured as part of a specialist exhibition at the National Maritime Museum in Cornwall, called Reclaiming the Narrative, Sarah’s work has led her to achieve national fame, with her work now followed by more than 11,000 on social media.
Passionate to pass on her expertise to others, Sarah recently shared her knowledge to students at Nottingham Trent International College, who were enthralled by her experiences and knowledge.
The success of her studio and her drive to help other entrepreneurs was recognised by the judges at these prestigious awards, which saw dozens of entries from across the Midlands.
Speaking about her win at the Black Achievers gala event, Sarah said: “It is an overwhelming honour to be recognised for all of my accomplishments as a business owner.
“I cannot thank everyone around me enough for the support and love they have shown me over the years. This achievement would not have been possible without my family, friends, mentors and clients who have helped me create a successful business.”
