Solid black, ornamental and stippled shading.
Traditional and neo-traditional
Bold lines and colour that stays readable for decades.
Realism and portraits
Slow work in greywash or colour, planned over more than one sitting.
Cover-ups and reworks
An honest look first — some can be covered, some are better reworked.

On our own work, free within the first few months once it has healed.
Flash days
Ready-drawn designs, first come first served, announced on our page.
Guest artists
Other studios' artists working here for a few days at a time.

Questions people ask
01How do I book?
Send us your idea, where you want it and roughly the size. We answer with what it would take, and a deposit holds the day.
02What does the deposit do?
It holds your appointment and pays for the drawing time. It comes off the final price, and we will tell you before you pay it what happens if you move the date.
03Does it hurt?
Some places more than others — ribs, sternum, inner arm and anywhere over bone. We take breaks, and nobody thinks less of you for asking for one.
04How long will it take?
A small piece is under an hour. A sleeve is several sessions weeks apart, and we will map that out before the first one.
05How old do I have to be?
Eighteen, with identification. No exceptions, whoever comes with you.
06Can you cover an old tattoo?
Often, yes. Send a clear photograph in daylight and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
