Services
Sean draws influence from pop culture, nature and social commentary with his simple linework based designs. He also specialises in classic Americana and folk tattoos. Walk-ins are often available and Sean probably has one of the biggest selection of designs to choose from in Brighton! Custom work is also most welcome.
For the past few years, we have had the pleasure of having Lea Nahon as a regular guest artist at Dead Slow. Known for her provocative, candid and erotic tattoos, she has a developed a style uniquely her own. Lea will be returning to Dead Slow in October. We are currently displaying a collection of Lea's original pieces of art at the studio, after having a successful opening night in July.

If you want some cool or weird inky stuff added to your body canvas you have to come here.
Super friendly and welcoming staff.

Got tattooed here by Mr Heggie with two of my friends a couple of weeks ago. Everyone in the studio was kind and welcoming, and the studio itself was clean and had some brilliant decor! Was a great post-covid tattoo experience :)

Amazing communication and customer service throughout booking from the lovely Josie, always got back to me super quickly and efficiently!
Jack was excellent at creating something I really love, and masterfully covered up an old tattoo, really taking the time to make sure I was completely happy with it! A true well practised artist that gave the most beautiful detail/shading with minimal pain/soreness during.
The entire team at the shop are so friendly and I’ve never felt more comfortable and at ease, I’ll definitely be travelling back here for any future work - absolutely recommend.

I had 2 tattoos done by Sean and I couldn’t be happier with them. I’d waited so long to get down to Brighton and Sean was incredibly patient with me during COVID. The studio vibe and cleanliness is 10/10 and the staff are proper friendly and just happy to be back open! Will always recommend, hopefully I’ll be back soon! x

First of all I would need to praise Josie for all the communication during the booking and admin side of things, she was so lovely, friendly and so patient with all my questions. I had my tattoo done with Kirsty and it was an amazing experience, she was so super nice and professional. Needless to say that I love my tattoos! The place is so friendly and everyone working there seems lovely. I can’t wait to be back!

I have tried for years now to find Qualiti body jewellery from people through the internet and not one person has helped me;
Chris from the Piercing side of Dead-Slow was the best help anyone has been
Through all of my piercing changes he has helped me achieve my goals by allowing me to order jewellery through him;
Thanks again Chris!

I would just like to say a massive thank you to @blackcatfriday for looking after my little sister and her tattoo. Due to a busy time frame and clients taking longer then expected, this wonderful women stayed back to get my sisters tattoo done. Which also turned out beautifully. But not only that, when my sister walked back into the store after due… to a leg cramp and being a little uncomfortable due to there being drunks in the street and it was late-ish at night. (My sister is on her first solo overseas trip there) This lady then kindly offered to get my little sister some dinner AND walked

Very welcoming with a really friendly atmosphere. I had work done by Kirsty and she was great - clearly knew her stuff but was also very good at putting me at ease, chatting throughout and great playlist! Very professional set up. I’m really happy with the work I had done 👍🏻😀

Fabulously talented artists here. All down to earth, really ‘get’ what you want, and worked with my really abstract ideas for a full sleeve, which is underway!
