Artists

All of our artists are trained and experienced professionals. All of our work is unique to the individual and we will work with our clients until they are happy with our designs before we proceed to further steps.

Without hesitation, I’d recommend Studio 16. All the staff are fantastic & super friendly. 5 stars all the way. I’ve gotten 6 of my tattoos done here by Cat & one by Liam. I’ve given Cat an idea of what I want & she always blows my mind by what she comes up with. Love, love, love them all. Will definitely be back for more.

Can’t recommend this place enough. Clean, professional, great customer service, and a bit of banter makes it an all-round great experience. I’ve been tattooed here recently by two stellar artists: Liam, who gave me a banging trad tattoo; and Jamie who is helping me populate my leg with cool and unique designs. Can’t wait to go back to both.
