Apprenticeships Report

So, you want to learn how to tattoo? If you're serious about it, you'll do it the right way. The wrong way is by buying a "shop in a box" kit and trying to teach yourself. The right way is through an apprenticeship - learning from a skilled artist with hands-on experience. Finding a tattoo apprenticeship, or should I say finding a good apprenticeship, is like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack.

Had my first tattoo here with Julie. The atmosphere in the studio was really relaxed and I was made to feel comfortable and at ease. Julie was very professional and accommodating whilst helping me decide on a tricky design. I'm really happy with the finished piece and I look forward to coming back!

Amazing atmosphere, really friendly tattoo artists and I got a great tattoo there - what more could you want. (oh also they're doing everything properly with covid restrictions which is really comforting)

A clean and relaxed all female studio. Klaire has done my two most recent pieces. She is so skilled and knowledgeable, I love her work and will be going back for more!

I got tattooed by Klaire at Inky Needles back in June. We worked together in the run up to my appointment to create a custom piece to celebrate my 30th birthday. I absolutely love it! Klaire was so excited about my tattoo and it made me feel at ease. It was a lovely little studio and all the other staff members were super friendly. I adore Klaires' style and I'm thinking of other pieces that I could get from her, so I'm definitely planning on going back!
