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!

    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?
