Mags Delacroix-Bell

Traditional and flash

Books open

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.

Teo Szabo

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.

Ask to join the waitlist

Ruairi Penhallow

Blackwork and dotwork

Books open

Ruairi makes blackwork and dotwork: solid black forms, geometric patterns and mandalas that build slowly, one dot and one line at a time. Bring a rough idea or a reference.

Request a booking

Our artists are updating their books. Ask who is taking bookings: Call 01632 960 837.

Flash day

First Saturday of the month, from 10:00.

Flash is drawn in advance, so the size and price on each design are exact. Each design takes one session. Send a request and we’ll confirm whether it is still available before asking for a deposit.

How booking works

Request, quote, deposit, appointment.

  1. Request

    Send the booking form with your idea, where it goes, the size in centimetres and a link to your references.

  2. Quote

    We reply within three working days about availability. If the artist can take it, we send a price and the days we can book. Custom work is quoted by the hour once we have seen your references.

  3. Deposit

    Once we confirm, a £50 deposit holds your appointment. A waitlist place needs no deposit. The deposit comes off the final price, and it is refundable until 72 hours before your appointment.

  4. Appointment

    We confirm the day and time. Bring photo ID. We check it in the studio, and we never ask for it online.
