What the map tells us about tattoo shops in Glasgow
12 of the 67 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — tattoo studios often work by appointment, so posted hours can be more of a guideline than a promise.
11 have websites listed. Studios with websites usually show portfolios there — the fastest way to tell if a shop's style matches yours.
2 of the studios are also tagged for piercings, handy if you're after both in one visit.
The Glasgow tattoo shop tour
Plot these on a map and the day plans itself: Custom Inc, Dark Crow Tattoo on 212 London Road, Rock’n’Roll Tattoo and Piercing on 25 Gallowgate, Deadman tatoos, Art by Zaz, Modern Tattoo on 154 Sword Street, Mortez on 116-118 George Street, and Believer Tattoo on 16 Saltmarket. That's 67 stops on the Glasgow tattoo shop tour. 59 more are listed below.
Tattoo tips for Glasgow
A few things worth knowing before you work through Glasgow's tattoo shops:
- Sun is the enemy of fresh ink at Custom Inc. UV fades tattoos fast, especially new ones. Once healed, sunscreen on the tattoo becomes a lifelong habit.
- Keep the bandage on as directed at Dark Crow Tattoo. Second-skin or cling wrap timelines vary by artist. Follow theirs, not a forum's.
- Don't haggle on price. You're paying for hours of someone's skilled labour on your skin forever. Bargain hunting has no place in a tattoo shop.
- Check the sterilisation setup. Single-use needles, sealed ink caps, gloves changed constantly. A good studio is happy to show you; a bad one gets defensive.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Glasgow — 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 Glasgow can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 67, 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 67 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.
