Tattoo shops in Filey

Filey, North Yorkshire has 1 tattoo shops on the map. There's just the one mapped studio in Filey right now, so the portfolio check matters more than ever. Walk-ins are worth asking about, but the good custom work everywhere books weeks out.

This guide covers every tattoo shop we could verify in and around Filey (within about 12 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. The one to know is Black Cat Tattoo. If a studio's missing from Filey's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

What the map tells us about tattoo shops in Filey

None of the 1 has opening hours in the map data, so treat this as a browse-and-discover trip. Most tattoo studios work by appointment anyway, so call or message before dropping in.

The one mapped tattoo shop sits on Station Avenue — worth combining with whatever else brings you to that side of town.

Tattoo tips for Filey

First tattoo or fiftieth — the rules don't change in Filey:

• Aftercare is half the tattoo at Black Cat Tattoo. Follow the artist's instructions, not your friend's. Keep it clean, keep it moisturised, keep it out of the sun.
• Ask about the deposit. Custom pieces usually need a deposit that comes off the final price. Ask how it works before you sit down, not after.
• No swimming while it heals. Pools, lakes, hot tubs — all off limits for two to three weeks. Fresh tattoos and bacteria don't mix.
• Think about placement long-term. Hands, neck and face limit job options in some fields. Your artist will be honest about this if you ask.

Good to know

We searched about 12 km around Filey — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new tattoo shop in Filey can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 1, or a tattoo shop we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

We don't rate studios or artists, and we never list prices — those are between you and the shop. What we list is the where and the how-to-find, from places real mappers have verified.

If you run one of the 1 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
