The long...
Nomad Ink started as a husband and wife team, one tattoo artist and one business development manager. The idea to work together came one evening during 18 months of travel in the back of a van. Hence the name.
Studio owner and manager Jo wanted to bring the service, approachability and professional environment she and others had found lacking in many studios. Tattoo artist Lewis wanted to bring an ‘art first’ approach, ensuring both he and every future artist at Nomad Ink specialises, learns and creates continually. Both in tattooing and other art mediums.
In 2019 illustration artist Sophie Burke came to us to learn to tattoo and was soon an incredible artist in her own right. In 2021 artist Chaz Astbury joined the team, bringing his insane technical skill and quirky creativity. Followed in 2022 by our body piercer Ashley Meadows. As you’d expect, she brings only the best in terms of practice, skill and continual learning.
The renovations of our huge building and expansion of our studio continues in 2024. We’d love to see you there.
