The Tattoo Artists Worth Having On Your Radar
Obsessed With You Tattoo at One By One
Instagram: @ObsessedWithYouTattoo
Best For: Single needle work and minimal lines
This Instagram page is filled with plenty of minimal designs, but larger designs are also on the menu, including flower work, abstract drawings and dinky coloured inkings. Whatever you’re after, you’re bound to find something you like.

Rebecca Vincent at Parliament Tattoo
Instagram: @Rebecca_Vincent_Tattoo
Best For: Carefully inked florals and nature drawings
If you’re after something nature inspired with a slightly thicker ink, look to Rebecca Vincent. She’s tattooed a member of the SL team many times, and they can personally vouch for both her technique and gentle approach.

Connor Thomas at One By One
Instagram: @ConzThomasTattoo
Best For: Fine lines and monochrome inkings
We know we’ve already mentioned One By One, but for finely written phrases and seriously neat graphics, we had to give Connor a specific shout out. His attention to detail is so precise and his designs always catch the eye – ideal if you’re looking for something elegant and discreet.

Martha Smith at Gossamer City Project
Instagram: @MarthaSmithTattoo
Best For: A broad range of ’grammable tattoos
Most of Martha’s work revolves around sculptures, nature and animals – sometimes even a combination of all three – but her designs aren’t limited to this. You can also expect to browse plenty of smaller etchings that are feminine with a really neat, linear edge.

Emily Malice at Femme Fatale Tattoo
Instagram: @EmilyMalice
Best For: Whimsical and botanical artwork
From tiny script to larger-scale silhouettes, Emily Malice does it all. Most of her work is highly intricate with a lot of black-and-white contrast, but she’s known for her varied style, realistic designs and ability to create mesmerising patterns.

Adam at Vagabond Tattoo Studio
Instagram: @AdamVagabond
Best For: Unique black and white designs
Flawless symmetry, geometric styles, fine line finishes… Adam has perfected a technique that’s easily identifiable. In particular, he’s mastered the art of small, faint tattoos with intricate detailing, which is why his bookings fill up so quickly.

Amy Lowdon at Studio Hatch
Instagram: @AmyLowdonTattoo
Best For: On-trend fine line tattoos
Dainty designs and intricate sketches are what makes Amy such a favourite – with fans including some members of the SL team. Her red ink tattoos are a fun alternative to traditional black – plus, she often posts sketches and unique collections on her Instagram, which can then be requested for recreation when you visit.

Polly (Private Artist)
Instagram: @PollyTatttoo
Best For: Chic, mini designs
Another SL favourite, Polly’s tattoos are minimalist, quirky and always on-trend. We love how inventive she is with her methods – recently, she took a photograph and stencilled its silhouette to create a tattoo. If you’re after something tiny with fine line details, but a slightly more unique design, Polly is a great choice.
