If you are coming from Kidderminster, you are making a trip to Birmingham for a reason. We want to make sure it is the right reason. At Outliers Ink, we are a fully custom tattoo studio, which means every tattoo we create is designed from scratch by our artists and made only for the person wearing it. No duplicates. Your tattoo is yours.
It can start with a message or with a free consultation where we get to know your idea, your vision and your skin. We design your piece before your appointment so that when you arrive, everything is ready and the focus is entirely on you and your tattoo. The studio is calm, modern and inclusive, and we guarantee the result will exceed your expectations.
We use vegan inks, maintain a licensed and hygienic studio and offer Klarna flexible payments. The experience here is unlike any other studio in the region, and our clients keep coming back because of it.
Whatever you have in mind, we can bring it to life:
Fine Line — Delicate, precise and enduring. Florals, script, micro-realism and subtle geometric patterns.
Black and Grey — Rich tonal depth and smooth shading, consistently impressive on all skin tones.
Realism and Portrait — Lifelike work that holds incredible detail. Sheine’s technical range here is exceptional.
Blackwork and Dotwork — Bold, graphic and visually strong.
Colour — Vivid and lasting, using vegan inks chosen for vibrancy on all complexions.
Anime and Illustration — Character work that does the source material justice.
Cyber Sigilism — Angular, futuristic linework that has become a signature of the studio.
Cover-Ups — Got a tattoo you want to move on from? We make the consultation easy and the new piece something to be genuinely excited about.
Walk-in piercings are available during opening hours. We also offer scalp micropigmentation (SMP).
Kidderminster is on the Worcestershire border, and while we are a Birmingham studio, we are well connected from your direction and well worth the journey. Clients come to Outliers Ink from right across the West Midlands and beyond because of what we offer: original custom designs, expert tattooing on all skin tones, a genuinely inclusive space and an experience that keeps people coming back.
We are a women-owned studio and we have built something we are very proud of. Whether you are a first-timer or a collector adding to your work, you will feel right at home here. And with Klarna available, the cost does not have to be a barrier.
Yes. The A456 (Hagley Road) runs almost directly from Kidderminster into Bearwood, making it one of the most straightforward drives to the studio from outside Birmingham. By train, The Hawthorns station is a short connection away and easily reachable from Kidderminster.
Very much so. We have clients who travel from Worcestershire and further, and we love working with people who have sought us out specifically. The fact that you have found us from Kidderminster suggests you know what you are looking for.
There are studios in the Kidderminster area, but for a fully custom bespoke experience, specialist expertise in all skin tones and a studio with the reputation Outliers Ink has built, clients choose to make the trip to Birmingham.
Yes. Reach out via WhatsApp or our contact form and we can have a conversation about your idea before you commit to the journey.
Most drive via the A456, which is a near-direct route into Bearwood and takes around 30 to 40 minutes. By train, Kidderminster to The Hawthorns is a comfortable ride and from there you are just a short taxi away. Full directions are in the section below.

If you are considering an SMP procedure( scalp micro pigmentation) don’t hesitate you will be in the best hands possible! I came to the studio because I was very insecure about a specific area of my hair. It was something that affected my confidence for years and made me feel self-conscious whenever I wanted to style my hair. From my very first consultation Nicole made me feel completely at ease. She listened carefully to my concerns answered all of my questions and reassured me throughout the entire process The results are nothing short of incredible. Nicole’s attention to detail and precision are truly exceptional. The quality of her work far exceeded anything I had hoped for. Thanks to her I can finally wear my hair in ponytails, slick buns and other hairstyles without worrying about that area anymore. More importantly I have regained a confidence that I thought I had lost forever. Unfortunately I cannot share photos of the results due to my religious beliefs regarding showing my hair publicly but I can say with complete honesty that the transformation has been amazing What stood out just as much as the results was the kindness of Nicole and the entire team. I attended several sessions and every single time I was welcomed with warmth kindness and genuine care. They always made sure I felt comfortable,respected and safe, and that meant so much to me Finding someone you can trust with something so personal is not easy but the Outliers Ink team is 100% trustworthy. Their expertise, professionalism and dedication are second to none. Thank you Nicole, for your incredible work and for helping me feel like myself again. I am beyond grateful and would recommend Outliers Ink to anyone without a second thought. If you’re on the fence take this as your sign and go for it you won’t regret it! 💕✨ Ashley DianaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super friendly and professional, really helped me get the perfect first tattoo!! Xtaviah OakleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Atmosphere is always pleasant and friendly. The studio is also very clean. Customer service is great, from good conversations with staff, asking if you need any hot beverages, breaks or snacks. Went originally for a back tattoo and knew very soon I was going to book more tattoos from Sheine. Her attention to detail, not rushing you and listening to what you want but having an opinion are all great qualities! Thank you so much everyone! ConnieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sheine and Nicole have a really nice studio with a calm vibe. I had a lovely tattoo done by Sheine who did a beautiful design based off the flowers I wanted. The process of the tattoo its self was really easy, virtually no pain and she made sure to check in and make sure I was comfortable the whole time. I am autistic and really appreciated the clearness of the communication from Sheine as well. Will definitely be going to Outliers Ink in the future. Sherrie KellyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I honestly can’t recommend this studio enough. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease—even though I was really nervous. The whole environment is so thoughtfully put together, with little touches throughout that genuinely make it stand out from anywhere else I’ve been. The entire process was seamless from start to finish. The design was handled with care, and everything felt smooth and well-organised right through to completion. I had a piece done on my ribs, which I was expecting to be quite intense, but Shane was surprisingly gentle and made the whole experience so much more comfortable than I imagined. I absolutely love the result—couldn’t be happier with it. I even ended up going back to my childhood and got my ears pierced at the same time, which just added to the whole experience. 10000% recommend this studio. I’ll definitely be back… tattoo bug officially initiated. Meg WainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant place and amazing service. The girls that were there when I visited made me feel very welcome and comfortable. I will definitely be returning for my next tattoos. Kishan MehtaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I honestly couldn’t have picked a better place or artist for my first tattoo than Outliers Ink and Sheine. This tattoo means everything to me, it represents my wife and my three boys, so I was naturally quite nervous going into it. But from the moment I met Sheine, she made me feel completely at ease. She’s got such a calm demeanour and a really soft touch, and before I knew it, something I was worried about felt like a walk in the park. What really stood out was how she took something so personal to me and brought it to life exactly how I had imagined it, if not better. The detail, the balance, everything about it is spot on. On top of that, she’s just a genuinely nice person, easy to talk to, and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. I’m already getting ideas together for my next tattoo, and there’s no question, I won’t be going anywhere else. Outliers Ink, and Sheine especially, have got a customer for life. Can’t wait for my next visit, genuinely can not thank you enough! Lydia GraceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would recommend these guys to anybody for any of their services. I have had a forearm tattoo and a 2nd nose piercing done here, and each time I have left I am extremely happy with my new addition! The vibe is immaculate and they make you feel so comfortable!! They take time to make sure your placing is correct and the care throughout the process is amazing, making sure you’re doing great and offer breaks if needed. If you’re thinking about choosing these guys then this is your sign to do it!! I couldn’t recommend them enough Aarti KaushalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had piercings done by Nicole three times now, and each experience has been consistently great. She’s really friendly, puts you at ease straight away, and clearly knows what she’s doing. The rest of the staff are fab and friendly too. Everything is done in a very hygienic and professional way, which makes the whole process feel safe and comfortable. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! 🙂Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
