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.

Lost Fox Tattoo

If you find yourself around Fitzrovia anytime soon, make sure to swing by internet-famous tattoo and piercing studio Lost Fox Tattoo. Known for its ultra-clean and quirky fine line tatts – think frogs taking bubble baths in teacups and rabbits shopping for groceries – the studio is a bit of a hotspot for younger crowds (but don’t let that stop you from booking an appointment). Catch some of the work done by one of the studio’s talented artists below.

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. While perhaps better known for its sleeve work and large artwork, the team are also building up a bit of a following when it comes to small, dainty designs. 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.
