At our tattoo studio, we see tattooing as more than ink on skin—it is a form of art and self-expression. We have been part of the city’s creative scene for over twenty years, built on trust, passion, and craftsmanship.
Our tattoo artists are highly skilled, art-educated professionals who take pride in creating bespoke tattoo work that feels personal and unique. We listen, collaborate, and focus on detail to make sure every piece feels like it truly belongs to you. We value quality, comfort, and care above all else. No egos, no pressure, just experienced artists who love what they do and a welcoming space where everyone feels at home.
We are a respected name in the Birmingham tattoo community, known for skill, creativity, and professionalism. Each artist brings their own style, but we all share the same passion for quality work. From small tattoos and sleeve tattoos to detailed anime tattoos and tribal tattoos, we take the time to design something that suits you perfectly.
If you are looking for a tattoo cover-up, we can help turn old ink into something fresh and personal. Our focus is always on creating art that lasts and looks as good as it feels.
We specialise in a diverse range of tattooing styles to bring your vision to life. Traditional tattoos feature bold lines, vibrant colours, and iconic imagery rooted in classic tattooing history. These timeless designs have stood the test of time and continue to be a popular choice for those seeking something striking and meaningful.
Japanese tattoos draw inspiration from centuries-old art forms, incorporating elements like koi fish, dragons, cherry blossoms, and waves. These intricate designs are known for their rich symbolism, flowing compositions, and stunning visual impact that often span large areas of the body.
Black and grey realism is perfect for those seeking lifelike detail and depth in their tattoo. Using subtle shading and precise technique, this style can capture portraits, nature scenes, or any imagery with photographic quality and emotional resonance.
