Folklore Tattoo Studio

Our custom studio was established in 2013 and has a friendly, relaxed energy. We currently have two resident artists, Marie & Adam, who are very distinctive in their own work specialising in Graphic/Illustration and Illustrative Realism. Art is our passion and it is important to us to produce custom, bespoke designs for each and every project pursued ensuring that our clients walk away with a tattoo they are proud of that is unique to them. Marie has over 11 years experience and frequents the UK and European Conventions. She is an established published artist who has featured in many magazines and has taken part in many external commission projects producing artwork for the Out of Steps Books Collection. Her work is heavily influenced by nature and as an avid gardener she often draws from a collection of her own photography. She likes her work to be true to life and tell a story, to represent capturing a moment time as if the subject matters have been caught in action. Every piece of her work is unique and bespoke drawn or free handed straight onto he skin for each client as a tailor made service. Adam has over 7 years experience and also frequents the UK and European convention circuit. He is also a published artist who has featured in many magazines and has had work printed in the Out of Steps Books Collection. He has taken many external commission projects designing posters and banners and T-Shirts for bands across the UK. Adam is influenced by all things weird and wonderful and we like to classify his work as "Colourful Nightmares". A horror fan at heart, he draws inspiration from Cult Film classics and the more obscure underground scene. He also is a gaming fan and is well versed in game characters which are heavily a part of his portfolio. He also has a fascination with the sea and nature and many of his works are nautical themed usually containing tentacles! Every piece of his work is unique and bespoke drawn for each client as a tailor made service. We have a budding Apprentice, Keely. She is in the process of learning the trade and currently has calling to geometry and realism. She's a hard worker and we are really looking forward to seeing where she takes her art and what she blossoms into. The last of our Team Is Curly our shop PR, who can often bee seen wandering the floors of all our visited conventions around the UK and Europe. He is an integral part of our team networking and socialising, making new friends in our industry.
