Some examples of work done in the studio by our resident artists, clicking on the photos will take you to the persons Instagram page

A tattoo above the knee, using black sketch like lines for the outline and dotwork to show shading. The design is of a naked figure in the foetal position with its back to the viewer. The top of the head is only just visible, and the feet cross over each other where the figure is sitting on them
A tattoo in black linework with dotwork shading on the upper arm. The design is a head with short hair that comes down over the cheekbones. The face is angled outward away from the person it’s tattoos on. It has a hoop earring and is wearing a cap. The image is reminiscent of the Tom of Finland designs, a famous Finnish illustrator from the 50s/60s who is well known for his highly masculinised homo-erotic drawings.
A black linework tattoo on the middle of the thigh, the design is within a black rectangular frame with a small black circle in the lower left corner, there is a simple branch with leaves coming from the inside right corner and spreading diagonally and upwards across the rectangle, the tip of the branch breaks free from the rigid shape and is growing upwards and to the left. There is staggered text beneath the rectangle in a simple handwritten style that says ‘complete but not finished’
A tattoo on the ribs in black with dotwork shading. The design is of a cormorant standing on a diagonal, its back to the viewer. It’s wings are spread with some flight feathers missing and you can see that it holds a writhing eel in its beak.
