Meet Oli šŸ–¤

If youā€™re into dark ornamental tattoos, black & grey work or fantasy-inspired pieces, Oli is definitely your guy.

Clients always comment on how calm, welcoming and considerate he is, which makes him especially good for nervous clients or anyone wanting a more relaxed tattoo experience.

Outside the studio youā€™ll probably find him talking about D&D, listening to ska or progressive rockā€¦ or eating homemade pot noodles out of a glass jar šŸƒ

Oli would love to take on more:
šŸ–¤ Sleeve projects
šŸ–¤ Dark ornamental work
šŸ–¤ Custom black & grey pieces
šŸ–¤ Flash tattoos

You can check out his available designs in the studio or DM directly to chat ideas šŸ–¤

The most common thing we hear before someone books a small piece: ā€œI want loads of detail.ā€
And we get it. The reference looks perfect. Every line is crisp. Itā€™s exactly what you want.
Hereā€™s why we always have a conversation before we justā€¦ do that.
Skin isnā€™t a screen. It moves, it heals, it ages ā€” and it does all of that differently on every single person. What looks razor-sharp on day one will soften as it heals. Tight spacing blurs. Micro-detail merges. Weā€™re not designing for the photo you take on day three. Weā€™re designing for how it looks in year five.
Small doesnā€™t mean simple. It means less margin for error.
The good news: small, detailed, and clean long-term is absolutely achievable. It just takes considered design, sometimes a touch more breathing room, occasionally sizing up slightly, always thinking about placement and how that specific area ages.
Years of this work means weā€™ve seen what holds and what doesnā€™t. Weā€™ll always tell you honestly whatā€™s achievable, and design something that still looks exactly right years from now.
Save this for when youā€™re ready to book, then find the link in bio.

Pricing is the question we get most and honestly, fair enough, itā€™s also the hardest one to answer without knowing what you actually want. Size, placement, complexity, how long itā€™s going to takeā€¦ it all plays a part.
Weā€™re not being awkward when we donā€™t give you a number straight away. We just donā€™t want to throw something out there thatā€™s way off and waste both our time.
Swipe through, save it for later, and then slide into our DMs with your idea and weā€™ll take it from there. šŸ“©
