At Outliers Ink, every tattoo we create is designed specifically for the person wearing it. No copies. Just original, custom work brought to life by our exceptional tattoo artists, in a studio that takes as much pride in the experience as it does in the result.
We can start with a free consultation where we get into the details of your idea, what you want to feel when you look at it, where it is going and how big. Our artists do the rest. By the time of your appointment, you will find a design that is exactly yours. We use vegan inks, maintain strict hygiene standards and have built a space where every client feels genuinely welcome.
Whether you are after something small and delicate or a major statement piece, we are here for it.
Our tattoo artists range covers some of the most in-demand styles in tattooing right now:
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.
Piercings (walk-ins welcome) and scalp micropigmentation (SMP) are also available at the studio.

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.
