Why Our Small Tattoo Studio Delivers Big: Honest Work, Fair Prices, Real Results

Why Small Tattoo Studios Like Ours Make a Big Impact

In a world filled with flashy signage, big-name sponsorships, and studios with a dozen artists, it’s easy to overlook the small spaces quietly putting in the real work. At RetrINK, we don’t have a long roster of artists or a fancy lounge with branded merch. What we do have is passion, skill, and a deep respect for every person who walks through our doors

We may be a small studio—but we’re built on big values. .

We Don’t Have Many Artists… We Don’t Need Them.

Some studios operate more like factories, churning out tattoos as quickly as possible. That’s not us. We’re a tight-knit team—not by accident, but by design. Having fewer artists means:

More control over quality

Direct collaboration with clients

Consistency in both style and service

You won’t get passed around from one artist to another. From consult to completion, you know exactly who’s working on your piece—and that it’s someone who actually cares.

No Overheads, No Pressure, No Gimmicks

We keep things simple. Without blowing our own trumpet but.... We own the building so no big rents. No compromise on top quality supplies. No pressure to upsell. What this means for you:

Lower costs for us = more affordable prices for you

Using only the best quality materials to ensure top quality

More time spent focusing on the art (not chasing quotas) ensuring your vision is fully realised
A relaxed, honest environment where you actually feel heard

We’re not here to sell you a “tattoo experience” with fancy packaging—we’re here to give you a tattoo you’re proud of.

We Don’t Buy Awards. We Earn Loyalty.

Let’s be honest: while we respect awards that truly recognise artistic excellence, not all of them are about talent. Titles like “best in the industry” or “best local” are sometimes just pay-to-play labels—handed out whether there’s real competition or not. That’s never been our way.

We’d rather earn your trust than a trophy.

Our real measure of success? Clients who keep coming back. Clients who tell their mates. Clients who leave smiling. That means more to us than any plaque on the wall.

We Work Hard. Because We Love This.

Every stencil, every line, every shading session—we’re in it. Not for attention. Not for social media likes. But because tattooing is what we love to do.

We don’t cut corners. We don’t rush. And we don’t take this responsibility lightly. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your fiftieth, we put in the work.

Here, You’re Not Just Another Appointment

At RetrINK, you’re not just a slot in a calendar. You’re part of the creative process. You get our full focus, honest advice, and a space where your ideas are respected.

We’re proud to be a small studio. Because small means personal. Small means authentic. And small means we can focus on what matters most: you.
