OXFORD, UK - BOSTON, MA
GUEST SPOTS & CONVENTIONS WORLDWIDE

COLLECT A NEO-NOIR EROTICA MASTERPIECE

Drawing inspiration from movies like Drive, Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, and Mute (criminally underrated movie. And Samma will gladly tell you why) and shows like Cyberpunk: Edge Runners and Altered Carbon.

Neo-noir portrait tattoos take the dark, futuristic, and mysterious atmosphere of the genre, capturing that essence with intricate designs, dramatic lighting, and meticulous attention to detail, these tattoos emulate the style and themes found in neo-noir cinema, transporting you into a world of intrigue, sex, violence, cyberpunk aesthetics, and enigmatic characters.

tl;dr

Think High contrast images and neon. With blood and boobs.

Police Dog. Do you think there's racism in the Pokémon world? Like, do you think Officer Jenny and Growlithe hunt down shiny humans? Anyway, we have a pokéfest coming up and I want to do some more experimental pieces with Pokém
Happy Halloween! Here's a bunch of monstrous things I've tattooed on people. Spooky. I hope you're all Trick or Treating. Bunch of adults in costumes, demanding strangers give them sweets, being picky cos no one wants a Bounty. Please. If you're ov

BIG DOG Healed. Well... Fresh elbow. Everyone tell me how sick this Cerberus tattoo is please?
We have our Halloween Flash weekend on the 26th and 27th of October! I've actually run out of space, not that I was doing flash anyway, but everyone else has flash! But I want to do zombies and tiddies anyway. So I'm using this as an excuse to book

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING…

“These guys are honestly fantastic in every way! They are easy to talk to, funny, welcoming, all that jazz- but most importantly, they care. They care about what they're putting on your body and they care about their customers. Couldn't recommend them more.”

— Chloe Fillary

"I waited over 30 years to find the right tattooist to do a realistic Phil Lynott portrait, not only is it amazing, but after all those nervous years you and Bryony made the whole experience of having a tattoo again such a pleasure.
The cover up you gave me of a stunning Ox Skull has given an old man such a boost in confidence. You have this uncanny ability to take what I think is already a good idea for a design and then create something f***ing amazing! How do you do it??? Eh!!!
Samma, I'm so proud to wear and show off two designs your art.......when people admire them i say with a knowing grin, 'thats a Samma Charles'."

— Collin Webb

“Gave me a lot more body confidence, I hated wearing shorts until you coloured in my leg, now I love getting semi-naked to show off all the awesome tattoos”

— Robert Knowles

"I came to you with a horrible tattoo and went home with an incredibly great cover!! You made it possible that i like to look down at my body again, Thank you soooo much!!."

— Aneka W

"…means the world to my wife Christine and myself. Can't really put on here why because it's not finished and can't wait to get back in there for some more double days. Could not of gone to a better studio you all make the experience of getting a tattoo from day one fun and and yes there is lots of pain but no pain no gain. The comments I've had so far even though it's still unfinished have all been positive and people think it's amazing but not telling them the story behind it until its finished. The best thing about it is it has made Christine happy. She still kisses Bill at bed time 🤣🤣 so thank you Samma.”

— Dave Kemmett

"He is good!"

— Barry R
