Why Get Tattooed With Us
01
Unhurried Drawing
Nobody needs to arrive with a finished design. We sketch, adjust the placement and redraw until it sits right, so the piece has time to become yours.
02
Sterile & Single-Use
Every needle is single-use and opened in front of you, and each station is stripped and wiped down between clients.
03
Honest Pricing
One fair price on the starburst, with sittings and touch-ups spelt out before you book. No surprise fees on the day.
04
Healed, Not Just Fresh
We judge our work once it has healed, so every piece includes a free touch-up within three months and written aftercare.

Fine-Line, Blackwork & Colour Craft
Custom design, fine-line script, blackwork, neo-trad colour and more — each with a placement chat before the day and written aftercare to follow it.

Matching fine-line sprigs to mark ten years together. Gus drew both freehand, never rushed either of us, and after six weeks of healing the lines look as crisp as the day they went on.
Fifteen years of wanting a first tattoo and talking myself out of it. Odette walked me through every step, paused whenever I asked, and the script on my wrist is exactly what I pictured.
I wanted a bass clef that would age gracefully with my forearm. Kit kept the linework wonderfully restrained — it still reads cleanly at arm's length and sits just where my bow arm rests.
