For people thinking long-term

Tattoos don’t just live on skin. They live in memory.

We’re not trying to make a quick mark - we’re building work that holds up in 10, 20, 30 years. That’s how we think about it. That’s how we do it.

02/10

Calm confidence

We don’t shout about it.

We’ve quietly built a space people trust — for big pieces, first tattoos, cover-ups and everything between. We’ll never push you into something that isn’t right, and we won’t waste your time either.

03/10

More human

We know how it feels to be on the other side of the chair.

That’s why we treat every tattoo with patience, honesty, and the kind of care we’d expect ourselves — no matter how simple or complex it is.

04/10

Straight-up

No weird energy. No guessing games.

You’ll know who you’re booked with, how it’ll work, and what it’ll cost - before you ever step through the door.

05/10

No one-size-fits-all

Not everyone wants a backpiece. Not everyone wants a micro tattoo.

We don’t expect you to fit our style — we figure out what works for you, and go from there.

06/10

Studio-first

A good tattoo starts with a good setup.

Clean space. Clear structure. Artists given room to work, not rushed to squeeze people in. That’s what makes quality possible — not just skill, but how we run the place.

07/10

Laser with clarity

Laser’s not a quick fix — but it works when it’s done right.

We’ll walk you through what to expect, how long it might take, and whether it’s the best route for you. No pressure, no false promises.

08/10

Cover-up honesty

Some things can be covered. Some things shouldn’t be.

We’ll give you the honest answer — and if removal’s a better option, we’ll say so.

09/10

Aftercare matters

Some things can be covered. Some things shouldn’t be.

We’ll talk you through proper aftercare — not just hand you a leaflet and send you on your way. And if anything feels off or you’re unsure, you can always drop us a message on WhatsApp. We’re here if you need us.

10/10

No weird vibes

You’ll never feel like you’re asking a stupid question.

We’ve all been new to this once. Whatever stage you’re at, you’ll be met with patience, clarity and respect.
