An inquest into the death of tattoo artist and model Charlie Edwards has been opened. Charlie Edwards was found dead at a tattoo studio on Wilton Road, Humberston on March 24. The cause of Charlie Edwards' death is yet to be determined.
The inquest was formally opened at Grimsby Town Hall by Assistant Coroner for Greater Lincolnshire Jane Eatock. The inquest has been adjourned to a date in September. A funeral service for Charlie Edwards will be held at Grimsby Crematorium on Friday, May 1, at 2:15 pm.
This is devastating to write. Charlie you were my friend. You were ALWAYS there for me. You dropped everything so many times to come and be with me.
Actress Emily Atack, who dated Edwards for three months in 2021, paid tribute to him on social media in March, describing him as 'funny, smart, talented and caring'. Edwards was a self-employed tattoo artist who previously ran a business with his brother Jack called Ravens Retreat. He campaigned to remove the stigma of body art.
Atack is now in a relationship with Alistair Garner, with whom she shares a son named Barney born in 2024. She and Garner announced their engagement in 2025 and are expected to marry in Spain this summer. Atack is set to appear in the Disney TV series Rivals season two as Sarah Stratton this summer.
We talked for hours on end on the phone about absolutely everything. We helped each other.
You were funny, SO smart, so talented and caring. I can only hope and pray that you have found some peace.
My heart breaks for your family who will forever be so proud of you. Beautiful boy, beautiful soul. I'm so so sorry. Rest in peace Charlie.
Some people are wary that having a tattoo might affect them getting jobs.
I never do walk-ins or people that you see having drunken holiday tattoos and possibly regret it later.
It's Friday, I'm in love.
