Keep these studios in mind when shopping for your next tattoo...
Craving some new ink? Whether you’re a first-timer or have the tattoo bug, we’ll guarantee you’ll fall in love with one of these London tattoo studios (who have gorgeous portfolios full of small, dainty tattoos).
London’s Best Spots For Small Tattoos
Astrid & Miyu
While perhaps best known for its dainty jewellery and perfectly curated ear stacks, Astrid & Miyu is also home to an in-house tattoo studio specialising in fine line tattoos. Headed up by tattoo artist Alessandro, who boasts eight years of experience in the industry, the service spans florals, constellations, cosmic signs, motifs and personalised tattoos. As Astrid & Miyu highlights on its website: ‘We understand that it may be intimidating walking into a tattoo studio and requesting a cute little heart or moon. We don’t think it should be, so we have now started our very own tattoo studio!’
Where: Multiple locations; see here for details.

TATTCITY
Having set up shop in London back in 2009, TATTCITY has become something of a staple when it comes to the city’s tattoo scene.

The studio is also currently offering a summer deal on its tattoo services, with all designs capped at £25.
Where: TATTCITY’s regular shop is temporarily closed, and in the meantime they are hosting a series of pop-ups across London. Check out their Instagram for details.
