Hello all. We're thrilled to announce that our bespoke tattoo studio is opening this Saturday at 11am.


We made East Dulwich our family home many years ago and have been quietly working away for some time searching for the perfect location for Storyville Tattoo. We were tired of the old trope of a macho, intimidating street shop and wanted to provide an alternative. A peaceful, welcoming, grown up space with the highest standards of work and care - we hope you like it as much as we do.


Website will be live very soon but we'd love you to pop by, say hello and maybe share a glass of fizz with us in the garden. You'll find us tucked behind lordship lane, entrance via the blue ornate gates on Ashbourne grove.. just follow the signs on Saturday!


For more info find us on instagram, storyvilletatto. . or contact us at [email protected]


In the meantime attached is a sneak preview pic. Hope to see you soon,

Nick and Clare

Hi dirac, siduhe is right, Nick is a specialist in the traditional Japanese style in full colour or black and grey.. but we cater for most styles in the studio. Aaron Clapham will be with us as well on Saturday and he's an expert in traditional American style..if you have anything specific in mind please get in touch
I'd heard there was a tattoo place opening in East Dulwich and have been watching the forum for news. The photo of your studio looks amazing - not what I was expecting a tattoo studio to look like at all. I've always felt a bit too nervous to go into one before but it doesn't look intimidating at all it looks very welcoming. I've been thinking about having one myself for a while now so I will certainly come and find where you are on Saturday. Do you just do large tattoos or would you consider a smaller simpler ones for a beginner like me?

Thanks a lot 123.kloot we're really excited about it! Yes we absolutely do small tattoos and are very beginner friendly. We have a short series of videos on youtube with advice for first timers so you might want to check them out here starting with the first one which answers the question 'do tattoos hurt?':




tomdhu, Assuming you had a good, experienced tattoo artist in the first place the best and most effective thing you can do is to properly take care of the tattoo while it is healing. That means for the first 6 months keep it out of direct sunlight and treat it with kid gloves - don't go swimming for the first month for example, chlorine isn't going to do you any favours. Beyond this the simplest way to extend the life of your tattoo is to continue to protect it against exposure to the sun. The higher the spf the better as far as tattoos are concerned. It's worth bearing in mind that certain colours do outlast others, the rule of thumb is the darker the ink the better it will last. You might be interested in another of our videos:




We hope to see you in the studio at some point!

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
