A custom tattoo starts with a conversation
Your preferences, shaped by an artist’s practice.
A custom design can begin with a specific subject or a few references you keep returning to. Your artist brings their own approach to the drawing, and your preferences guide what it should express and where you want to wear it.

References give us a starting point
An image might show a subject, colour, texture or composition you like. Say which part appeals to you, and give a rough size and placement. You don’t need a finished drawing.
We’ll review the request and explain an initial estimate before arranging your consultation.

Developing the drawing
Your artist considers how the subject translates into a tattoo: which detail to keep, where it needs space and how it follows the body. Suggestions about scale and composition are part of that discussion.
You can ask questions and decide what you’re comfortable wearing. The artist profiles and style pages show how each artist approaches different work.
Questions about custom work
Questions you may have
01Do I need to draw my own design?
No. Your description and references give the artist a starting point. A sketch is useful if you have one, but drawing the tattoo is part of the project.
02Do you offer ready-drawn designs too?
Sometimes. Artists occasionally release original flash designs. Ask about a particular drawing through the form, and we’ll check its availability and explain the booking details.
03When will I see the artwork?
The design direction is discussed at your consultation. Final artwork is usually presented at the appointment, with time for review and agreed adjustments.
04Can I choose my artist?
Yes, you can request an artist by name in the form. Their profile is a good place to look at their work before you enquire.
