The journey from Sutton Coldfield to Outliers Ink is worth every minute. We are a fully custom tattoo studio based in Bearwood, Birmingham, and we do not do anything off the shelf. Every tattoo we create is designed from scratch by our tattoo artists, tailored entirely to the person wearing it.
It can start with a free consultation, an honest conversation about your idea, your references, where you want the tattoo and how big. We design your piece before you arrive so that when you sit down, you are already excited about what is about to happen. The studio itself is calm, modern and inclusive, and the experience has become as much a reason clients return as the quality of the work itself. We use vegan inks and run a licensed, meticulous studio. 99% of our clients come back. We are incredibly proud of that.
We work across a broad range of styles. Here is what we do best:
Fine Line — Precise, delicate and enduring. Florals, script, micro-realism and intricate geometric work.
Black and Grey — Deep shading and tonal range, beautiful on all skin tones.
Realism and Portrait — Lifelike, detailed and technically demanding. Sheine excels here.
Blackwork and Dotwork — Bold, graphic and visually commanding.
Colour — Rich and lasting colour using vegan inks chosen for vibrancy on all complexions.
Anime and Illustration — Bringing characters and creative worlds to life on skin.
Cyber Sigilism — Sharp, futuristic linework that makes a real statement.
Cover-Ups — We treat every cover-up as a new creative challenge. Come in and let us show you what is possible.
We also offer piercings (walk-ins welcome) and scalp micropigmentation (SMP).
Sutton Coldfield is a bit further out, but our clients from the Royal Town make the trip regularly and they always tell us it is worth it. At Outliers Ink, we have built something that is hard to find elsewhere in Birmingham: a studio that is genuinely inclusive, technically excellent and a whole vibe from the moment you walk in.
We are a women-owned studio and we welcome everyone. Whether you are getting tattooed for the first time or adding to a collection you have been building for years, you will feel comfortable here. We also offer Klarna flexible payments, which makes a significant piece more accessible.
If you have been looking for a tattoo artist you can trust with your idea, come and see us.
Our clients from here say yes, without hesitation. The level of custom design, the expertise across all skin tones and the overall experience at Outliers Ink are not easy to find elsewhere in Birmingham, and people from Sutton Coldfield make the trip regularly.
Very much so. We have clients coming from right across Birmingham and beyond, and Sutton Coldfield is well represented among them. Distance has never stopped people from finding a studio they trust.
There are studios in the Sutton area, but for fully custom bespoke work, specialist tattooing on all skin tones and a studio with the kind of reputation that brings people back, clients from Sutton choose to travel to Outliers Ink.
By car, roughly 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic via the A38 and A456. By public transport, around 40 to 50 minutes connecting via Birmingham city centre. The directions section below has the full details.
Absolutely. We can discuss your idea by WhatsApp or email or book your free in-person consultation and we will take it from there.
