Ordinary Things
Original Stories
Every Surf Tatt is drawn and painted by hand. It can begin with a library design, a place you love, an old memory - or a thought you cannot quite get out of your head.
Want your own? Our motive is to bring your ideas to life. Not quite sure what you're after?

The artist behind Surf Tatts
Hey, I’m
Carrie.
Maker, surfer, collector of small moments.
Surf Tatts grew from a love of painting, starting as canvas artworks. I have doodled all over the world, curating a travel book of inspiration. This can be seen in my flash art pieces. Surf culture has always been a part of my life, and believe that objects become more meaningful the longer you own them. I turn original ideas into bold, personal artwork designed for daily use and gather stories.
My work is rooted on the foundation that everyday things deserve a personality!
