# Personalised Tattoo Concept

Custom Tattoo Designs Made For You

Original artwork shaped around your ideas, body placement, and personal style.

A focused design process for turning your idea into original tattoo artwork.
A More Personal Way to Shape Your Tattoo
We begin by discussing your idea, references, preferred style, and the placement you have in mind. I use that conversation to understand what matters most to you and where the design should remain flexible.
I then develop a considered concept that suits your body and the character of the tattoo. The experience is collaborative and clear, giving you space to share direction while I bring my design perspective, composition skills, and attention to detail.

## About

With a decade of experience I create custom tattoos for people who want artwork with presence, personality, and depth. Based at INX Tattoo Studio in Lincoln, I specialise in large-scale sleeves, black and grey, geometric, dotwork, and also coverJapanese-inspired, gaming tattoos because I’m an massive nerd and cover ups. I design every tattoo to look strong from every angle, combining careful detail with a relaxed, friendly studio experience. Whether you have a clear idea or need help shaping one, I am here to make something genuinely yours.
I have also trained some insanely talented Artists across the UK so you’re in safe hands. 
We have the largest studio in the City with an amazing team and our second studio just across the road also houses Inx Coffee Co.

## FAQ

### How do I choose the right tattoo design?

You don’t need to come to me with a full design. Just a rough idea, reference photo, another tattoo you like or something you have made on your phone will give me enough of an idea to make sure we’re both on the same page design wise. 

### What should I consider when choosing tattoo placement?

Placement affects how a tattoo flows with the body, how visible it is, and how much space the design has to develop. Im always happy to talk through these considerations and suggest an approach that suits the artwork and your personal preferences.

### Can a tattoo be customized from an existing idea?

100%! Many tattoo designs begin with a general  concept, reference, or theme and are then adapted into a tattoo that flows perfectly with your body. And yes. I’m happy for you to send me AI images that I will then redesign to help make it personal to you.  (No idea why so many other artists cry about this) I’ll work with whatever you can bring to the table. 

### How should I prepare for a tattoo appointment?

Arriving rested, hydrated, and ready to communicate clearly can help create a more comfortable experience. It is also helpful to follow the my guidance and mention any relevant concerns before the session begins. I want you to have an amazing tattoo just as much if not more than you do. 

### What is the best way to care for a new tattoo?

Aftercare helps protect the tattoo while the skin settles and should be followed according to the instructions we will go over during your appointment. Keeping the area clean, avoiding unnecessary irritation, and paying attention to how the skin responds are important parts of responsible aftercare.
