Our Story

 About Us

​

Welcome to Kindred Ink, a friendly, creative tattoo studio based in Ross on Wye. We’re here for the people who want tattoos that actually mean something whether that’s a bold statement piece, a subtle fine-line reminder, or a full custom design that tells your story.

At present, our studio is home to two female tattoo artists, each bringing their own strengths, creativity, and attention to detail. Between us, we cover a wide range of styles and design approaches, so whether you already know exactly what you want or you’re starting with a rough idea, we’ll help shape it into something you’ll be proud to wear. We also host additional artists, such as guest spots from Psychodelink's Stanilee Braund. 

A studio built on trust, comfort, and great work

​

Getting tattooed is personal. It’s not just about the design, it’s the experience.

From the moment you walk in, we focus on making you feel welcome, listened to, and completely comfortable. We’re proud to be a studio where:

​

• you can ask questions without feeling awkward

• you’re never rushed into decisions

• your boundaries are respected

• your tattoo is designed with care—not copy/pasted

• the environment is relaxed, clean, and professional

Whether it’s your first tattoo or your fiftieth, we’ll guide you through the process clearly, calmly, and honestly.

If you’re not sure what style your idea falls into, that’s normal. Bring your inspiration and we’ll help you figure out the best direction.

​

Custom designs, not conveyor-belt tattoos (we don't us AI)

​

We love creating custom pieces tattoos designed specifically for you, your body, and your idea. You can come to us with:

• a clear reference image

• a few inspiration pictures

• a theme, memory, or concept

• a sketch you’ve drawn yourself

• or just a vibe you can’t quite put into words yet

We’ll talk it through, suggest improvements, and make sure the final design feels uniquely yours.

​

Hygiene, safety, and professionalism

​

We take standards seriously. Our studio is set up to keep everything clean, safe, and compliant, because brilliant tattoos should never come with avoidable risks.

Expect:

• a clean, organised workspace

• strict hygiene practices and safe handling procedures

• clear aftercare guidance to support healing

• honest advice on placement, sizing, and longevity

Your safety and your skin matter as much as the artwork.

The experience: what to expect

​

When you book with Kindred Ink, you’ll get:

1. A proper consultation – to understand your idea, placement, size, and style

2. Design time – so the tattoo is built around you, not pulled from a template

3. A calm appointment – with a focus on comfort and clear communication

4. Aftercare support – so you heal well and your tattoo stays looking sharp

We’re always happy to answer questions before you book, especially if you’re nervous or it’s your first tattoo.

​

More than a tattoo studio

​

We want Kindred Ink to be a place people feel good walking into, whether you’re coming in for a full-day session, a small meaningful piece, or just a chat about an idea you’ve had for years. We’re building something steady, professional, and genuinely welcoming and we’re excited to keep growing.
