My little studio is the best tattoo shop Newcastle has to offer (although I might be a little biased) - It all started back when I was just a bairn growing up in Wallsend. We all have dreams as kids, to become an astronaut or a cowboy or a cool tattoo artist. In my case, I decided to start drawing on myself with felt tips as I didn't have either a horse or the means to build a space rocket which could actually fly.
At LD Studio we pride ourselves on our custom tattoo design. We draw our inspiration from many sources both modern and traditional and from all genres. No matter what style of tattoo you're looking for we're always happy to discuss in detail, the tattoo you require and then to design it with you to make sure you get the tattoo that you really want.
My names Lee Donald, I've been tattooing now for about 20 years and I still love my job to this day. One of the things that I love most about it is seeing the customers satisfaction which I get to see day to day through my art, there's no other job like it.
My ideal client is someone who just comes in and says "do what you want, it's up to you", of course they need to be able to sit good too because there isn't anything worse than trying to create a piece of art when the client cannot stay still.In my spare time when I'm not tattooing I'm at home with my family either talking about tattoos or drawing on my little girls.

Take a look at what some of our happy customers have had to say after visiting our tattoo shop in Newcastle. I've had the pleasure of having Lee Donald as my tattooist for the past 7 year. I originally sought out his help to change a tattoo I wasn't pleased with. As well as fixing it he enhanced it making it much more of an impressive piece.
Once you've got your new tattoo and we've done our bit, we'd like to make sure that you understand what you need to do next. We love to live up to the claim that we're the best tattooist in the North East and so by providing a solid aftercare service for your tattoo, we hope to achieve this. People who've had a tattoo, especially if it's there first one, often have many questions about aftercare.

Went there a while back for help finishing my sleeve, Lee said he could do it, however he did not. All what was done was freshining up one of my current tattoos (which was only around a year or two old) and wasting around £350.
During the course of the day people (family and friends) were constantly coming in to talk to him and all together probably wasted around 45 minutes stoping and starting. Also wasted 45 minutes setting up, I've had tattoos done from other places before and never known set up time to come out of your paid booking time.
Also states on website that sometimes if you pay for

Excellent tattooist and great bloke. Currently getting a full sleeve from Lee and he has been extremely helpful with ideas and always listens to what you want. Wouldnt think about going anywhere else for a tattoo. Lee works to an extremely high standard and has a high standard of cleanliness. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for somewhere to go for a new tattoo.

Fantastic studio. Really love the set up of the room, clean, fresh and private for getting your tattoo. Lee was brilliant, helped me with sorting an old tattoo. Lee gave me a great new design in the style that I was looking for and he understood what I wanted from only a short chat. Lee makes you feel really comfortable, I will be returning to sort out some other old tattoos!

Brilliant!! Had my first tattoo on my hand, done by Lee and it's absolutely incredible! Highly reccomend anyone to go to L.D studio. I felt very at ease whilst getting my tattoo done especially it being my first as he talked all the way through and is very friendly. Absolutely love my tattoo! And will definitely be returning for more. Thanks ALOT!
