What Clients Say

Real Stories

Jake took my rough sketch idea and turned it into something I genuinely couldn't have imagined. The detail in the shading is insane — every person who sees it asks where I got it done.

Sara is an absolute genius with fine line work. My botanical piece healed perfectly and still looks razor sharp two years later. The free consultation made the whole process feel so relaxed.

Chloe M.Fine Line Botanical · Sara Bell

Yuki covered up an old tattoo I'd had for 10 years and hated. The Japanese piece she designed fits my arm perfectly — you'd never know there was anything underneath. Incredible work.

The studio is spotless, the vibe is relaxed, and Jake made me feel completely at ease even though it was my first tattoo. Already planning my next one.

Sara's fine line work is on another level. She took my Pinterest board and created something completely original. The attention to detail during the consultation set the whole thing apart.

Booked a full day session with Yuki for a large chest piece. She checked in constantly, kept the energy great, and the result is stunning. Best money I've ever spent on myself.

Our Studio

Where Skin Becomes Canvas

Founded in 2018 with one principle — every tattoo should be as individual as the person wearing it. We don't do flash-off-the-wall. We do conversations, sketches, and results that last.

Our Northern Quarter studio brings together eight artists with diverse specialisms — from hyper-realistic portraiture to bold Japanese traditional work.

  • Private consultation before every piece
  • Vegan-friendly, cruelty-free inks available
  • Sterile, fully licensed studio environment
  • Free touch-up within 6 weeks of your session
