Illustrative tattoos
in Bristol.
Illustrative tattoos look drawn — they borrow from etching, sketchbook and comic-book styles, with visible linework, texture and character rather than photographic realism.
Our illustrative residents range from bold, character-driven pieces to darker, etched work. Browse the gallery and message the artist directly to talk through your idea.

Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes. A deposit, online or in person, secures every booking — without one, no booking is made. Deposits aren't refunded if you cancel, and each artist sets their own refund and reschedule policy.
How long do replies take?
Messages are usually answered within a few days, a little longer if someone's off. We can't reply while tattooing, so please bear with us.
Do you take walk-ins?
We occasionally have walk-in tattoo slots, but always advise booking to avoid disappointment. We also offer walk-in piercings, though booking is still advised so you're seen promptly.
