Professional Tattoo Artist | 15+ Years Experience | Master of Multiple Styles
With over 15 years of professional experience, I've established myself as one of Manchester's most versatile and sought-after tattoo artists. From photorealistic portraits to bold traditional work, my diverse skill set spans multiple tattoo styles and techniques.
My journey began in 2010 as an apprentice at a busy Manchester studio, where I spent years mastering fundamentals under experienced mentors. After honing my craft and building a loyal client base, I launched Tattoos By Scott Ltd to offer a more personalized, premium experience.
What sets me apart is my dedication to excellence in every piece. Whether it's a small meaningful symbol or a full-scale body project, I approach each tattoo with the same level of artistry, precision, and care. My reputation for clean line work, smooth shading, and designs that age beautifully has earned me thousands of satisfied clients and countless referrals.

"A tattoo is more than ink on skin—it's a collaboration between artist and client, a permanent piece of art that becomes part of your story. I approach every tattoo with that mindset, whether it's your first small piece or completing a full body suit."
"I believe in honest communication. If I think a design won't age well or won't work in the placement you're considering, I'll tell you. My reputation is built on tattoos that still look incredible years later, and I'm committed to maintaining those standards."
"Hygiene and safety are non-negotiable. I follow strict sterilization protocols, use only premium inks and equipment, and maintain the highest professional standards. Your health and safety are as important as the artwork itself."
