About Iron & Ink

Iron & Ink was founded on one simple idea: tattoos should tell your story, not someone else's. We've built a studio where every artist is chosen for their craft, every needle is single-use, and every client leaves with ink they'll love forever.

Located in the heart of York, we serve clients from across Yorkshire and beyond. Our team specialises in custom work: fine line, black & grey realism, neo-traditional, Japanese and bold modern traditional.

We're fully licenced, inspected, and proudly use hospital-grade autoclaves. Your safety is non-negotiable. Our walls are covered in the work of artists we respect, and we host regular guest spots from international talent.

Our Values

• Honesty. We tell you if an idea won't work.
• Craft. We only do what we do well.
• Respect. For the art, the culture, and every client.
• Safety. No compromises, ever.
