Hackney’s Burgeoning Tattoo Scene

Book with the best tattoo artists in one of London’s most creative boroughs.

Hackney has long been a hub of cultural diversity and creativity in London. The Borough, which surrounds the main artery of Mare Street, is both young (a quarter of its population is under 20) and multicultural (Hackney is home to a myriad of communities, but has large Black and Turkish populations in particular). These factors make Hackney a truly great place to live and visit, from its summer Carnival celebrations to the bustling living history that is Ridley Road Market.

As you might expect, this creative culture drips down in the world of tattooing. Hackney has no shortage of tattoo studios and talented artists to bring your tattoo visions to life.

In this article, we’ve picked just a few that you can (and should!) book in with.
