The Jewellery Quarter is known for bespoke craftsmanship and work that lasts a lifetime. So are we. At Outliers Ink, every tattoo we create is completely original, designed in collaboration with our tattoo artists and made entirely for you. No copied designs. A 1-of-1 piece, better than you imagined and that is a promise.
We get to know your idea, your references, how you want to look and the story you want to tell. From there, we design something built specifically for you before your appointment. You arrive, you get comfortable in our modern minimalistic studio, and the rest is history.
Whether it is your first tattoo or your fifteenth, we treat every piece with the same level of care and intent. That is why 99% of our clients come back.
We cover a wide range of styles, and our artists have the technical range to deliver all of them with precision:
Fine Line — Delicate, detailed work that ages beautifully. Florals, script, micro-realism and more. This is one of our most sought-after styles.
Black and Grey — From subtle shading to full realism, our black and grey work is some of the cleanest in Birmingham.
Realism and Portrait — Faces, animals, textures. We specialise in bringing reference images to life on skin.
Blackwork and Dotwork — Bold, graphic and technically demanding. Stunning on all skin tones.
Cover-Ups — Got something you want to change? Come in for a consultation. We will tell you exactly what is possible and design a cover-up worth being proud of.
Colour — Vivid, long-lasting colour work using carefully selected vegan inks tested for vibrancy across all skin tones.
Anime and Illustration — We love bringing characters and illustrated worlds onto skin.
Cyber Sigilism — Angular, futuristic linework with a serious edge.
We also offer scalp micropigmentation (SMP) and piercings, with walk-ins available for piercings during opening hours.
