Tattoo shops in Plymouth

Plymouth, England has 15 tattoo shops on the map. All 15 are mapped as tattoo studios proper, and each one is worth a portfolio browse before you commit — style varies more between shops than towns. 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 Plymouth (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Ragnarok and Full Moon Tattoo, plus TommyGun Tattoo. If a studio's missing from Plymouth's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

Tattoo tips for Plymouth

Picking a studio in Plymouth? A little homework pays off:

• Think about placement long-term at Ragnarok. Hands, neck and face limit job options in some fields. Your artist will be honest about this if you ask.
• Book a consultation first at Full Moon Tattoo. Most good shops offer free consults. You get to meet the artist, talk placement and price, and see how clean the place is.
• No swimming while it heals. Pools, lakes, hot tubs — all off limits for two to three weeks. Fresh tattoos and bacteria don't mix.
• 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 Plymouth — 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 Plymouth can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 15, 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 15 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.
