Alan's Tattoo Studio

As a customer from the late 1990’s Alan has done a huge amount of my work and it’s always been great. I recent years my children have had appointments with Richard. Great studio for all styles of work. Always a pleasure to visit.

Back in the mid 80's Alan did a tattoo of a womans head with her hair surrounding a certain leaf which I had done a couple of yesrs earlier, it cost me a good coffee table for his shop. The colours still hold well after all these years, though I'm not sure about the coffee table. 🤔🙂

Excellent, talented artist who will give you honest opinion regarding the piece you’re asking for.Friendly , cool people . I can’t recommend enough. Thank You Richard

Went into Allan’s tattoo looking for a japenese sleeve, 9yrs later I’m on the verge of completing a body suit..Richard is an amazing arstist!! Allan’s tattoo is really friendly and extremely professional at all times, cannot recommend them enough..

Richard did a cover up of a small, black tribal piece which I had grown to dislike so much, I was embarrassed to show it. He did a beautiful job and I’m now the proud owner of 2 red roses on my arm which I’m more than happy to show off! Feedback from friends has been incredibly positive too! Couldn’t recommend Richard more highly; talented artist and a really lovely guy to boot.

Excellent work on my full sleeve, couldn't be happier with the result - so many people who "aren't fans of tattoos" have changed their mind when seeing Richard's work.
Richard is a superb artist and having spent many, many hours in the studio, I can definitely say that they look after you superbly and everyone is great to talk to about anything!

I went to Richard, having seen his fantastic previous work and I'm glad I did... He made the whole process very easy, fun and I can say I actually enjoyed going to get tattooed, despite the pain! He helped design my tattoo (first one for me) and the results were amazing, I couldn't be happier, it turned out even better than I could have hoped for. I am now currently working out what's next and when I do, it would be the only place I'd go... I can't recommend them high enough.

Richard is great. Very professional and is a great artist. Had quite a few tattoos done by him and my latest he designed especially for me. Will probably go back for me at some point

I chose Richard for my leg sleeve after a recommendation from my girlfriend, who’s been visiting Alan for over a decade for amazing tattoos, and I wasn’t disappointed! I went in with a rough idea of what I wanted and left the finer details to the expert, Richard, his attention to detail and artwork is second to none. The atmosphere was alway good and friendly with amusing anecdotes from Sprocket who’ll let you know everything that’s wrong with the world. The Jeremy Vine show on radio 2 was questionable in the afternoon sessions but I look forward to returning soon for more work by the best

After looking for months and months I cam across Richard who totally blew my mind. The work he done on others was unreal and I wanted my tattoo done by him. The process was extremely welcoming and easy. Could not be happier with the artwork and definitely will be back to do the rest! Highly recommended.

I had a full sleeve done by Richard, he designed me a unique piece that he’d never done before. When in the shop everyone is friendly and welcoming and the skills Richard and Alan have are incredible, I recommend Alan’s to all my friends and will only ever get tattooed by them!

Known Richard for many years and always found the business to be warm, friendly and welcoming. He’s a brilliant tattooist and I’d recommend Rich to anyone that wants a tattoo. Whatever design, style or size he will deliver. He’s also a great help in getting a design you need or at least advising you. Visit or get in touch, you’ll be delighted.

Alan is without doubt one of the best tattooist anywhere. He has done work on my arm to cover up a horrendous botch job and is currently working on a back piece of my family which looks stunning. The professionalism and skill of Alan and Richard is second to none, the photos speak for themselves
Its a 7 hour round trip and 400 miles for me to get there, but i wouldn't have anyone else do my ink!
