13. Roxy Velvet- Velvet Underground Tattoo

Roxy Velvet revitalized the tattoo world when she opened her own tattoo studio in London. But what was so special about her? Well, her team of all-female artists. She wanted to give a breakdown of the stereotype macho tattoo stops that existed in the city before and through the 20th century. Tattooing was a male-dominated art form and Roxy wanted to break that.

Her all-female artists are anti of any traditional old school tattoo parlor. Her studio, Velvet Underground Tattoo, is a top-notch, contemporary tattoo parlor with the latest equipment and gadgets which provides a comfortable and top-level Hygenic place for her clients. It is not just for the comfort of her clients but artists too. Velvet Underground Tattoo is base next to barbican. For them, gender is no bar!

With that being said, they are also one of the few tattoo studios in London achieving a 4/4 star rating by Tattoo Hygiene Rating Scheme. And how do they do that? Well, thanks to modern technology and their disposable tools, they do not need to scrub the rooms every time or re-sterilize them which makes Velvet Underground Tattoo a completely safe environment.

Although getting inked at Velvet Underground Tattoo would mean that they will help you through the entire process but they also appreciate your own ideas and individual response. You can discuss that over an appointment. The artists in Velvet Underground Tattoo are also super friendly and each of them has a unique style individual to their own.

“Our artists and apprentices each have their unique style and create one-off pieces for every client. No copying, no flash, no rush. If we don’t think we can achieve what you are asking us to do we won’t take it on,” is something that they claim. Their focus does not end after the tattoo has been inked but even after that. They would constantly ask you about the healing process!
