Digbeth is a neighbourhood that runs on creativity and self-expression through its famous street art and public murals. So does Outliers Ink. We are a custom tattoo studio based in Bearwood, Birmingham, and everything we create is made from scratch. No copied designs, no reused templates, just original work built around your idea, your skin and your story.
Our tattoo artists listen, sketch, research and design before you ever sit in the chair. By the time you arrive for your appointment, your piece is ready and it is yours alone. We use vegan inks carefully selected for vibrancy and longevity, and we have built a studio where the experience is just as good as the result.
We cover a wide range of styles, and our artists have the technical range to deliver all of them with precision:
Fine Line — Intricate, minimal and beautifully detailed. Popular for florals, script and micro-realism.
Black and Grey — Timeless shading and depth, from subtle washes to high-contrast realism.
Realism and Portrait — Lifelike work that captures faces, animals and textures with accuracy.
Blackwork and Dotwork — Bold patterns and geometric work that makes a statement.
Cover-Ups — We love a good cover-up challenge. Come for a consultation and we will design something you are genuinely proud of.
Piercings are also available, with walk-ins welcome during opening hours. We also offer scalp micropigmentation/hair tattoo (SMP).
Digbeth has no shortage of creative energy, and we fit right in. At Outliers Ink, we take tattooing seriously and we make it an experience worth remembering. Our studio in Bearwood is an easy trip from Digbeth, and once you arrive you will understand why clients travel from all across Birmingham and beyond to see us.
We are a women-owned, inclusive studio. We have tattooed clients of every background, skin tone, age and experience level. From first timers who were nervous walking in to regulars who drop by just to say hello and play Mortal Kombat. The vibe here is warm, calm and professional, and that combination is hard to find.
