Thinking about ink in Hexham, Northumberland, England? Start with the studios: 3 are mapped here. All 3 are mapped as tattoo studios proper, and each one is worth a portfolio browse before you commit — style varies more between shops than towns.

This guide covers every tattoo shop we could verify in and around Hexham (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Ink Therapy and Northside Tattooz, plus Inksploitation.

Tattoo tips for Hexham
Picking a studio in Hexham? A little homework pays off:
- Don't haggle on price at Ink Therapy. You're paying for hours of someone's skilled labour on your skin forever. Bargain hunting has no place in a tattoo shop.
- Browse portfolios before anything else at Northside Tattooz. A studio's Instagram or website tells you more than any review. If nobody there does the style you want, keep looking.
- Be honest about your pain tolerance. Ribs, feet and inner arms hurt more. A good artist will tell you straight and plan breaks.
- Check healed photos. Fresh tattoos always look good. Ask to see healed work — that's the real quality test.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Hexham — 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 Hexham can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 3, 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 3 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.
