Cally-Jo was born on 20 April 1989 in Southampton, the United Kingdom and grew up in Shirley, London. [1] She studied fine art painting at Winchester School of Art, and graduated in 2011. [1] Cally-Jo began to tattoo in 2012.[ citation needed]
In 2012 Cally-Jo was offered a job at Love Hate Social Club, London. [2] After this, Cally-Jo worked with tattoo artist Lal Hardy at New Wave Tattoo Studio in North London. [2]
She collaborated with Lal Hardy to create a winged vintage microphone design on limited editions of the One (M8) phone, which were awarded to finalists at the British MOBO music awards. [3]
In October 2013, Cally-Jo travelled to the Dominican Republic to create a mehendi-style tattoo on Rihanna the singer's hand. [1]

In 2016 Cally-Jo collaborated with the Coffee vs. Gangs campaign, which was founded by the coffee company Kenco. Gang tattoos are symbolic of a life of crime in Honduras, with gang members using special tattoo symbols to identify their allegiance to certain gangs. Kenco Ireland commissioned Cally-Jo to create an original artwork that captured the rich symbolism of tattoos but also touched on the hopeful potential of coffee farming as an alternative to gang life.
