As we come to the end of our 40th anniversary celebrations, it felt fitting to finish by sharing some recent work – a pair of custom leg sleeves inspired by Star Wars and Back to the Future.

From a small upstairs room in 1986, through the move to our current location in 1987, and now into a second generation of tattooing, it’s been an incredible journey.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported the studio over the years. To every client who has trusted us with their tattoo, recommended us to friends and family, or returned time and time again – thank you.

A lot has changed in tattooing over the last four decades, but our focus has remained the same: creating quality custom tattoos and treating every client properly.

40 years later, we’re still doing what we love.

I’ve spent more than 20 years helping people turn ideas into tattoos they’ll be proud to wear for life.

I’m currently booking autumn appointments from September onwards and I’m looking to take on a few more larger custom projects.

Sleeves, leg pieces and ongoing work are very welcome.

If you’ve been thinking about starting something, feel free to message me and we can have a proper chat about the idea.

Alan’s Tattoo Studio turns 40 this year.

One of the best parts of that is seeing people come back over decades — and in some cases, tattooing the next generation as well.

John first came to the studio in 1987, and over the years both Alan and I have tattooed him, including the full front piece shown here that I completed in 2012, 10 years after starting tattooing myself.

I’m still adding to John’s tattoos now, while also tattooing his son — including adding to and working around pieces Alan started before retiring in 2020.

I grew up around the studio and took over running it after Alan retired in 2020.

A lot has changed since 1986, but the focus on doing solid, custom work properly hasn’t.

Thanks to everyone who’s supported the studio over the years.

Japanese backpiece completed by Richard on last year at Alan’s Tattoo Studio in Luton.

Large scale Japanese tattooing has been part of the studio for decades, with a strong focus on flow, composition and how the work sits on the body over time.

This piece progressed from stencil through outline, black and grey and finally full colour over multiple sessions.

Est 1986.

Alan’s Tattoo Studio turns 40 this month.

Started by my dad in 1986 in a small upstairs room before moving to our current location in 1987.

A lot has changed over the years, but the focus on doing things properly hasn’t.

Proud to be carrying that forward today.

Thanks to everyone who’s supported the studio over the years.
