The studio
Ten years of needles, ink and stubborn craft.
Iron & Ink started in 2014 as a two-chair room above a record shop on Tib Street. We had one rule then and we keep it now: never put work on skin that we wouldn't wear ourselves. No flash off a wall, no rushed jobs, no copying somebody else's piece.
Today we're six resident artists across blackwork, fine-line, colour realism and traditional. Every tattoo starts as a hand-drawn design built around you, your story and the way it sits on the body. We run a fully licensed, inspected and spotless studio — because permanent art deserves clinical standards.
