Traditional tattoos - bold, timeless designs built to last with strong lines and solid colour
Japanese tattoos - large-scale, flowing compositions designed to move with the body
Realism tattoos - high detail, lifelike work requiring precision and technical skill
Fine line tattoos - clean, minimal designs with a softer, more subtle look
Ornamental tattoos - decorative pieces designed to complement the natural shape of the body
Neo traditional tattoos - a modern take on classic tattooing with more detail and colour depth

Anime tattoos — bold, high-contrast designs inspired by anime and manga

Cover-up tattoos — expert reworking of old or unwanted tattoos into strong, well-designed pieces, using placement, contrast and design to completely transform what’s already there

Can’t recommend this place enough, made to feel welcome every time, they’re professional, take every precaution and most importantly have got some of the best artists in the country. Thank you to Rick and the team

Simon Rosa's

Great experience today having my Sailor Jerry style pin-up. Rick is a real craftsman, I couldn’t be happier with his work & customer service. A great friendly atmosphere in the shop. Thanks, I will be back soon

Amanda Morcombe

My daughter and I had some lovely tattoos by Zoe last week. She listened to what we wanted, looked at our ideas and then came up with her own designs, which were perfect. The atmosphere in the shop was upbeat, other artists were friendly and interested in making the whole experience relaxing. Thank you Zoe. We'll be back and definitely recommend!

Rysn Bridget
