Real ink.

Four chairs, one back room, and everything drawn for the person it is going on. Book a chair, or come on a Saturday and take your chances.

We draw everything first

Nothing goes on skin until you have seen it on paper and said yes. That is one appointment before the one you booked, it is free, and it is the reason nobody leaves here with a design they were talked into.

Drawn, not picked off a wall.

The Work

Four recent pieces. Scroll and they deal like a deck.

Full colour sleeve

Eleven sittings

Blackwork, upper arm

One sitting

Grey wash, half sleeve

Five sittings

Colour, upper arm

Three sittings

Who is in this week

Four of us, and we do not cover for each other: you book the person whose work you liked.

Walk-ins
Saturdays, from 11, first come
Deposit
£50, comes off the final price
Under 18s

Book a chair

Tell us what you want, where it is going and roughly how big. You will get a drawing appointment first, then a date. The deposit holds it.
