Studio

We are officially open! A whole new shop, new ideas, and new dreams

It’s with huge excitement, gratitude, and pride that we can finally announce: our new tattoo studio is officially open!

This is more than just the opening of a new shop. It represents a journey, a vision, and a commitment to creating something meaningful — a space where creativity, self-expression, and incredible tattoo art can come together.

Our goal has always been to build more than a studio. We want to create a welcoming environment where every person who walks through our doors feels comfortable, inspired, and confident in bringing their ideas to life. Whether you’re planning your very first tattoo, adding to a collection, or creating something deeply personal, we’re here to make every experience a memorable one.

Opening our doors is an exciting first step, but it’s also the beginning of something much bigger. We have ambitious goals for the future, endless ideas to explore, and a genuine passion for continuing to grow, improve, and create exceptional work for our clients.

Most importantly, we want to say thank you.

To everyone who has supported us, encouraged us, shared our journey, believed in our vision, and helped us reach this moment — we are truly grateful. Your support means more than words can express, and we wouldn’t be here without the people who have stood behind us along the way.

This is just the beginning.

We’re excited for the tattoos we’ll create, the stories we’ll become part of, the people we’ll meet, and the journey ahead. Our doors are open, our machines are running, and we’re ready to turn ideas into art.

Thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait to welcome you into the studio.

Equipment updates

New machines on the bench

Hold onto your gloves, folks — we’re introducing not one, but two Bishop Wand machines to the lineup: the Bishop Wand Packer and the Bishop Wand Shader. And no, they’re not twins. Think more heavyweight boxer and smooth-talking artist.

The Bishop Wand Packer — The Ink Bulldozer

With a fixed 4.2mm stroke, the Packer is built for getting ink in efficiently and confidently. Its custom-wound brushless Faulhaber motor is designed for plenty of torque and speed, making it a serious tool for solid colour packing, colour realism, strong saturation, and both fine and bold lines.

Basically, if your tattoo needs colour packed in like it’s trying to catch the last train home, the Packer is ready for duty.

The Bishop Wand Shader — The Smooth Operator

The Shader takes a gentler approach, with a fixed 3.5mm stroke designed for a softer, more controlled hit. It’s ideal for smooth black-and-grey work, realistic shading, softer grey tones and fine-line detail.

Powered by its own custom brushless Faulhaber motor, the Shader is all about smoothness and precision. If the Packer kicks the door in, the Shader politely knocks and somehow still gets the job done beautifully.

THE BIG DIFFERENCE?

Packer = 4.2mm stroke, more punch, stronger ink saturation and colour packing.
Shader = 3.5mm stroke, softer hit, smooth gradients and detailed shading.

Two different personalities. Two different jobs. One very difficult decision when you're standing there thinking, “Do I really need both?”

Yes. Yes, you probably do.
