Tattoo shops in Hull

Thinking about ink in Hull, England? Start with the studios: 18 are mapped here. All 18 are mapped as tattoo studios proper, and each one is worth a portfolio browse before you commit — style varies more between shops than towns. A consultation costs nothing and tells you everything about how a shop runs.

This guide covers every tattoo shop we could verify in and around Hull (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include TAT and Sinful Ink, plus Nostalgia Tattoo Studio. If a studio's missing from Hull'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 Hull

1 of the 18 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.

2 have websites listed. Studios with websites usually show portfolios there — the fastest way to tell if a shop's style matches yours.

There's a cluster: 2 of them sit on North Bar Within, so you can string those into one walk and drive between the rest.

1 of the studios are also tagged for piercings, handy if you're after both in one visit.

Tattoo tips for Hull

A few things worth knowing before you work through Hull's tattoo shops:

• Document the healing at TAT. Photos of the healing process help your artist advise you, and help you judge their work honestly.
• Think about placement long-term at Sinful Ink. Hands, neck and face limit job options in some fields. Your artist will be honest about this if you ask.
• 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.
• No swimming while it heals. Pools, lakes, hot tubs — all off limits for two to three weeks. Fresh tattoos and bacteria don't mix.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Hull — 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 Hull can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 18, 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 18 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.
