Welcome to ‘Tough Luck A traditional Tattoo Parlour’, Swadlincote’s newest tattoo establishment opening soon…….
When we say a traditional tattoo parlour, we mean exactly that, no Pretentiousness, you won’t hear I only work in this style and nothing else. What you will get from us is exactly what you want and how you want it, no design is to big, too small or beneath us, all we are offering is just good honest friendly old school tattooing. If your not sure what you would like, we have hundreds of designs to chose from off our flash racks, bring your own design in or let us design something for you.
That’s enough about the tattoo parlour, here’s a little bio from our artist Oz. His professional history alone is impressive, started tattooing in 1984, a Black Country
apprenticeship under Wally Willets (including needle making), first tattoo from
Dennis Cockell at Ten the Butts and guidance along the way from Micky Sharpz ( at the time was one of the uk’s top tattooists and machine builders).
Over the years Oz has also picked up numerous awards, made an appearance on
MTV's Headbanger Ball and organised the successful Creation Tattoo and Custom
Bike Show, in Stoke-on-Trent, for three consecutive years.
We look forward to meeting all our new clients and creating great pieces of art.
