The artists
Three artists share one studio on Gallowgate Arcade. Each works in their own style, and each card says whether their books are open. If an artist’s books are closed, you can ask to join their waitlist. This does not reserve an appointment.

Mags has tattooed traditional work for more than twenty years: swallows, roses, daggers and bold lettering on a clean outline. She draws most of our flash.

Fine line and botanical
Waitlist only
Teo works in fine line: ferns, sprigs, small birds and single-needle lettering. Fine line heals best when it is planned with the artist, so expect a longer consultation and a clear layout before any ink.
