Tattoo artist who sexually assaulted his own customers is sent to prison

'DANGEROUS OFFENDER' GETS SIX YEARS FOR ATTACKS ON AT LEAST EIGHT WOMEN

- By LOUIS CORBETT

A PREDATORIAL tattoo artist has been jailed following a string of sexual assaults.

Some of Ashley Lilleyman's victims were assaulted multiple times during prearranged appointments, between January 2022 and July 2024.

Lilleyman started the tattoos as normal before assaulting his victims - either at a Nottinghamshire shop he was working at or at his home studio.

One of his victims had come in for a stomach tattoo.

However, after his unwanted behaviour, she asked for her tattoo to be changed to her arm instead, all to avoid the 30-year-old's unwanted advances.

Lilleyman's extensive crimes started to come to light after one of his victims told a family member what had happened to her and they then called the police.
