Drop Of Ink is a St Margarets Bay Rd studio built around independent artists who each tattoo in their own style. Bring an idea, finished or barely formed, and work with someone who will get it right with you.
We describe ourselves as a safe and inclusive space packed with talented artists who tattoo in a wide range of styles. That is not a slogan, it is how the room runs. First tattoo or fifteenth, you will be walked through it, kept comfortable, and never rushed.

Drop Of Ink
Drop Of Ink sits at 391 St Margarets Bay Rd in Halifax's Armdale area, an easy stop off the Armdale Rotary with parking out front. Inside is a collective of independent tattoo artists who each book their own clients, which is why people come back for a specific hand rather than a brand. The result is a small, friendly studio with a wide range of styles and a steady 4.8-star reputation.
Share a reference or a rough idea. We talk through concept, placement and size before anything is booked.
Your piece is drawn for the spot it will live on, then refined together until it is right.
A clean station, a steady hand, and a comfortable pace from first line to last.
Clear care notes so a fresh piece settles and heals exactly the way it was drawn.
Each artist takes their own bookings, so reach out to the one whose work you like through Instagram or Facebook, or call the studio. Walk-ins are sometimes possible when an artist has an opening.
