Black & grey realism · Scorpion Ink
The studio behind the needle
Every piece drawn for you
Nothing here comes off a wall of flash you have to settle for. You bring an idea, a photo or a rough sketch; our artists draw it up, talk it through and put it on your skin only when it is exactly right. Cover an old tattoo you never liked, mark something that matters, or start your first piece with someone who will take the time.
Bring the idea. We will draw the rest.
What we do
Styles & services
A working studio for tattoos and piercings in Highams Park. These are the styles our artists are asked for most, all shown in real work further down the page.
Black & grey realism
Portraits, animals and detailed shading built up in soft greys, from lions and crowns to full sleeves.
Fine line & illustrative
Clean linework and neo-traditional pieces, delicate detail with a bold outline that ages well.
Japanese
Tigers, koi and pagodas with cherry-blossom colour, the classic Irezumi flow across arm and leg.
Dotwork & mandala
Geometric mandalas and stipple shading, patient dot-by-dot detail for wrists, ankles and shoulders.
Cover-ups & reworks
Living with a tattoo you regret? We redesign and cover old work so you can show it off again.
Piercings & jewellery
Ear and body piercings, jewellery changes and honest aftercare advice, whether it is new or a fix.
Every tattoo is quoted at a consultation once we have your design, size and placement. Message us your idea or pop in for a chat.

Inside the studio
An independent studio
in Highams Park
Scorpion Ink is a small, independent tattoo and piercing studio on Larkshall Road, a minute from Highams Park station. Exposed brick, warm light and a relaxed room, the kind of place where a first-timer feels as welcome as a regular in for their next sleeve.
Our artists take the time to get your design right and talk you through the aftercare so it heals well and holds up for years. There is usually a cup of tea going while you wait.
- Custom designs drawn with you before we start
- Tattoos and piercings under one roof, cover-ups welcome
- Clear aftercare advice and friendly, no-pressure consultations

What people say
“I messaged Meg about an old tattoo I never liked and she replied with the most beautiful design I had ever seen. So friendly and talented, her aftercare advice is on point and my tattoo healed perfectly.”
“Since coming to Scorpion Ink and having Meg as my artist I wouldn't go anywhere else. She listens to what you want and delivers every single time, by far the best artist I've had tattoo me.”
“I did my first tattoo here. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, even offered me a drink. Rony worked really hard, very professional and cautious as it was my first. Highly recommend.”
