Forget-me-not Tattoos

Ever wondered where etch style comes from?
This tattoo style takes inspiration from centuries old woodcut printmaking techniques.

Taking the visual elements like hatching, textured broken lines to suggest shade. It’s one of my favourite styles to work with

Tattoo studio based in Tadley, near Basingstoke. If you’re in the Hampshire area we’d love to hear your tattoo ideas and maybe you’d like to explore this style? Feel free to send us a message or have a look through Ella_Robertson available designs for inspiration ✨🌿

Pop us a message to book in for Dec -Jan
And here’s a bunch of reasons why getting a tattoo in the winter is a great idea!
1. Less UV exposure while your tattoo heals
2. It will be all healed ready for summer!
3. An excuse to be cosy and curled up while you’re healing

Here’s some available flash designs but if you’ve already got an idea send us a message and let’s plan it out ✨

Autumn & Winter BOOKS OPEN 🍁
October nearly full so opening the books for the November to January!
I’m particularly interested in nature, flora & fauna designs and woodland folklore inspiration for my tattoos ✨

Some ideas could be a favourite bird, a collection of wildflowers with meaning? Or an insect with a story behind it! Maybe your idea isn’t fully realised yet and you’d like to discuss possibilities! I love a tattoo chat 🐦‍⬛

Some recent small and delicate tattoos ✨
Dainty Fine line tattoos don’t have to mean flat line work. We believe it’s the shading that really finishes the piece.
That little bit of soft grey shading adds depth, definition and dimension, bringing the fine line details together and giving the tattoo a more complete, finished look even to a minimal design! These designs are available or we are happy to draw up your ideas for you

Over 2 years at forget-me-not ✨ Thought I’d share a little round up of some of my favourites, Would love to hear what you think!
Booking for October and November currently so give us a message and tell me your ideas🧚🏻‍♂️
I’m keen to add some bigger pieces to my portfolio featuring insects, birds or botanical tattoos, or maybe you’ve got an existing piece that needs a refresh?

1. Yin yang koi, this was a lot of fun
2. Etchy wood cut tattoo on the chest!
3. Submariner dolphins also on the chest! Love this one because of the skeleton twist
4. Wildflower bunch with a lot of meaning for Immy
5. Lovely memorial bee and lavender
6. Tiny swimming lady on the foot!
7. Recent fairy and shoulder cap tattoo, very dainty and delicate, loved this one
8. A Irish Claddagh with some colour!

Some recent group tattoo sessions at the studio done by artist Ella_Robertson and some reasons you might consider getting one with your loved ones ✨
• Sibling tattoos to celebrate family 🩷
• Intertwine your birth flowers 🌸
A really lovely idea for a couples tattoo! combining your birth flowers into one design
• Same meaning, different designs that don’t have to match! But share the same memory or symbolism, unique to each wearer
• Something that works apart 🦋
I love choosing imagery that still makes sense when you’re not standing side by side

Matching tattoos don’t have to mean identical tattoos. They can be little pieces of a shared story ✨
I’m always up for a group tattoo session! And I’m now booking for October, so if you’ve been thinking about a matching tattoo with your partner, siblings, friends or family, send me a message and let’s chat about your ideas
