Tattoo Studio
Richard’s Tattoo Studio is one of Aberdeens most established professional tattoo studios. Richards first opened in 1986 quickly gaining popularity as the place to get tattooed and with its customer base increasing, the studio relocated to its current location in 1990. The studio currently has two resident artists and continues to grow, providing professional ear & body piercing and a state-of-the-art laser treatment room for tattoo removals.
Resident Artists
Richard
Richard has been a professional tattoo artist since 1984, always maintaining very high standards in all aspects of his life.
Striving to improve his work technically and artistically he has travelled worldwide to exchange knowledge with some of the most highly regarded artists in the tattoo field as his awards demonstrate.
He is equally happy pleasing the customer who chooses a small personal design to the discerning customer who wants original large scale Japanese body work.
Richard splits his time between tattooing and goodluckiron where he designs and manufactures tattoo hardware for other professional tattoo artists worldwide.

Jimmy
“Ever since I saw my first tattoo I wanted one. Ever since I got my first tattoo I wanted to be a tattoo artist.”
At Aberdeen’s prestigious Gray’s School of Art, Jim’s fascination with tattooing increased with most projects involving this subject in one way or another. With Jim’s strong drawing skills he can turn his hand to most styles and is happy to create a design that is perfect for you.
“When I started working at Richards my drawing and tattooing went from strength to strength. It has always been rewarding as it is a studio of very high standards, not just artistically but also in all aspects of hygiene and safety.”

How Long Will it Take?
It very much depends on the size and design of the tattoo.
The larger and more complex a tattoo design is the longer it will take to complete. Very large scale tattoos such as full back, arm (sleeve) or leg will require more than one sitting to complete.
Sessions can be from half an hour to several hours.

How Much Does it Cost?
The cost of a tattoo is based on the time it takes to complete or per session for larger work.
There is no fixed cost or price list, instead we provide a cost based on the agreed design. What determines the price of a tattoo is the size, colour and complexity of the overall design.
