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!

    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
    • They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?
    • Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?
