Our custom studio was established in 2013. We currently have two resident artists who are very distinctive in their own work specialising in graphic/illustration and neo traditional styles. Art is our passion and it is important to us to produce custom, bespoke designs for each and every project pursued ensuring that our clients walk away with a tattoo they are proud of that is unique to them.
Adam has been tattooing since 2011 and over the years has developed his own signature style. He currently works as a custom artist with the crew at Folklore Tattoo Studio, specialising in creating your colourful nightmares and monsters! He has an illustrative, graphic style, with a flair for designing cult, cartoon and film characters.
In addition to our resident tattoo artists, Folklore Tattoo Studio regularly hosts talented guest artists from all over the world. We love to host these guys as it introduces new, diverse and amazing styles to the studio, and offers you the chance to be tattooed by popular artists whose waiting lists can often be lengthy.
I had my tattoo done by Marie at Tattoo Freeze. She was brilliant; she designed me a beautiful custom piece. As we wouldn't see each other until the day, Marie kept in contact with me to ensure it was exactly how I wanted it. On the day, I was made to feel comfortable and at ease. The service was professional and friendly, I was given great aftercare information.
At Folklore Tattoo Studio everything we do is bespoke. That means we draw every design from scratch and once we've tattooed it on somebody, we will never tattoo it on anybody else. Neither will we copy artwork created by someone else - we produce custom drawn artwork in our own styles. Of course, you may have a strong idea of the design you're looking to have tattooed.

I have had 2 tattoo's done so far with Marie at Folklore. She is absolutly brilliant as an artist and tattooist, I love both pieces that she has done for me.
The tattoo studio is very clean and it is obvious that they take hygiene very seriously.
I do a round trip of 168 miles to get my tattoo's done by Marie and it is definitely worth it.

Had a tattoo done here a few years ago by Adam. He did a stellar job, was friendly and reassuring throughout. Both his and Marie's artwork is fantastic and can be seen on Instagram. Nice and clean inside and very professional. Would definitely recommend to any first timers, or experienced tattoo'd folk!

I got a tattoo from Marie a couple of weeks ago. I adore her art work/tattoos and my new addition. She's very talented. Marie is also very friendly (along with the couple of members of staff that I met), informative and great to talk to. I definitely recommend.

Folklore Tattoo are an amazing team - highly skilled, very professional and make you feel very welcome and at ease ... fully recommend !
Today was my first visit to the studio to get a cover up completed for a very dark bird tattoo done poorly by another tattoo studio.
Prior to the visit I had an online consultation due to COVID to discuss all aspects of the tattoo.
Hygiene standard spot on and excellent COVID safe procedures put in practice to ensure everyone’s safety.
Marie is an excellent Tattoo artist , who has done an outstanding free hand custom cover tattoo with loads of detail , I’m

Lovely and friendly atmosphere - highly recommend, especially if you're going in for a first tattoo. I was immediately put at ease, supported and made to feel comfortable throughout the process.
And didn't hesitate to return and will continue to return here for my future tattoo ideas.
They are true artists who bring your ideas to life with custom designs, so you know you're going to come out with your very own unique design bespoke to you.
Wonderful tattoo after-care advice is provided so you know exactly how to best nurture your new art piece throughout its healing process as well - mine still

Came to FTS to have two half sleeves done by Marie. She went above and beyond with the designs, making sure to talk me through my ideas and helping to perfect them into artwork that worked seamlessly altogether. Marie stayed an hour + over time to make sure to complete both tattoos in the single day sitting, which I cannot express how appreciative I am! Marie also went to the effort of making sure that when doing the second design, it was going to be complimentary to the first tattoo and parallel it in some aspects, then took extra time and care to make sure things were edited once the transfer

On another note, cost does not matter when it comes to getting your ink as you pay for quality; I found the pricing from Folklore Tattoo Studio very fair - especially for the high quality art

Very professional and excellent work by Marie and Adam. Marie kindly designed me a beautiful water lotus piece recently and my new ink is perfect! Healed beautifully and Marie knows her stuff when it comes to aftercare. Would highly recommend Folklore and look forward to every visit! Both artists have had their work featured in numerous magazines and rightly so! Even if you are unsure what to have done next then I would advise you to pop in for a chat and I'm sure you will come out with a very unique piece of new ink! ;) x

As a student I used to live up in York, and so that is where I had my first tattoos done. When I came back to the Midlands I thought I would never find an artist to be as good as the one I had had up North, boy was I wrong. Not only did I find an amazing talented artist (Marie), but all the staff at Folklore Tattoo Studio are very friendly and welcoming, and immediately you feel at ease as soon as you walk in the shop. No intimidation what so ever. I have been back to Marie many a time now, whether it is for small tattoos or large tattoos, because I know whatever challenge I give her, Marie will

Having been to other tattooists before, I was pleasantly surprised when I met Marie compared to other tattooists Marie is an artist and takes care and gives full attention to her customers needs and requirements. I have never been left disappointed by any work I have had done. I can highly recommend Marie and her team @ Folklore. Inspirational!
