unique styles

Our artists offer something a bit different to the norm, although walk ins are always welcome!

Jesska specialises in fineline illustrative tattoos with a whimsical edge. Ever wondered what spongebob would look like with large lips carrying a kettle? Jess has you covered. Everything from pet portraits, beautiful lady faces, to The Simpsons - you’ll find an option for you!

Sturge specialises in traditional handpoke styles with a view to hit the same quality, longevity and clarity as machine artists. One of the few bold line handpokers, Sturge’s work offers a blend of illustrative dotwork, traditional line weights and the option of full colour or black and grey.

chill environment

The studio features bright colours, with natural light coming through the skylight and rear window. An array of collectibles on display, with clean surfaces and storage in abundance.

Bring your headphones and ask for a quiet session, or do the complete opposite and ask us to turn up the speakers and blast out some death metal. Our little space is yours!

We also have a projector so YouTube requests are always welcome.

The tattooing equipment is safely secured and cleaned daily, with disposables kept in fully air tight containers. Feel free to ask us any questions if needed, or ask to browse our range of colours if you are thinking of adding some!
