Small shop, one artist, every piece done by hand

The work
A studio covered wall to wall in it
Flash, photographs and years of tattoos on every surface, small enough to feel like a workshop.

Do I need to book, or can I just walk in?
Walk-ins are welcome and we will always try to fit you in, but a WhatsApp message ahead of time means you are guaranteed a slot, especially if you are only in town for a day or two.
Do you do piercings as well as tattoos?
Yes, ears, belly buttons and more. Same care, same fresh needle opened in front of you.
Is it clean and hygienic?
Every needle is opened fresh in front of you before we start, and the setup is kept sterile throughout. It matters to us as much as it matters to you.
I am travelling alone, is that awkward?
Plenty of people come in solo, including for their first tattoo, and are looked after the whole way through, sometimes right to their Uber.
