Looking for a specific style? Our artists have you covered. If it's fine line designs that inspire you, or the timeless beauty of traditional or photorealistic and portraiture tattoo styles - bold lines, vibrant colours, grey wash and classic imagery, we create pieces that stand the test of time.
Fine line
Our artists are trained to excel in creating delicate, confident fine line designs that will stand the test of time.
Portraiture
Capture lifelike detail and emotion with our realistic and portrait tattoo specialists. Whether it's a beloved pet, a cherished memory, or a striking image, we craft stunningly accurate and impactful pieces.
Traditional
A high quality traditional tattoo is instantly recognisable by its bold, clean appearance, crisp black linework and high colour saturation.
Our traditional tattoos are clean, confident and last the test of time.
Fine line? Traditional? Black work? Colour? We can do it all.
Japanese
A good Japanese tattoo is a bold, flowing composition that works with the natural shape of the body, featuring a strong central subject such as a dragon, koi, tiger, or phoenix surrounded by traditional background elements like waves, wind bars, clouds, peonies, or maple leaves. The outlines should be clean and confident, the shading smooth and rich, and the colours saturated and balanced, creating strong contrast and depth. The overall effect should feel powerful, dynamic, and timeless, retaining its clarity and impact as it ages. Looking for custom? Our artists will sketch it out on your body to properly follow the contours of each individual.
Modern
A good modern tattoo combines strong technical execution with contemporary artistic design, often featuring clean linework, smooth gradients, high contrast, and a creative use of colour, black and grey, or fine detail. Unlike traditional styles that follow established rules, modern tattoos can blend realism, geometric elements, illustrative art, abstract shapes, or graphic design influences to create something unique and personalised. Whether minimalist or highly detailed, a quality modern tattoo demonstrates precision, originality, and strong artistic vision while maintaining enough contrast and structure to age well over time.
