Tattoo styles

Traditional tattooing sits at the heart of Snowy’s work, but Unit 13 covers a broad mix of styles, from ornamental and blackwork to fine line, colour, custom pieces and cover-ups.

Traditional

Bold lines, strong shapes and classic tattoo influence with a timeless feel.

Ornamental

Decorative, flowing designs built around symmetry, pattern and detail.

Blackwork

Strong black ink, contrast and graphic detail, from bold pieces to finer illustrative work.

Fine line

Clean, delicate linework for lighter, more detailed designs.

Colour

Bold or subtle colour work, designed around the piece rather than added for the sake of it.

Neo Traditional

Bold outlines and rich colour with a more illustrative, detailed take on traditional tattooing.

Geometric

Precise lines, balanced forms and modern structure.

Custom

Original designs developed around your idea, references and placement.

What clients say

Real words from people tattooed by Snowy.

I've now got three big, exquisite masterpieces (plus several smaller bangers) from Snowy, and every piece is pure magic. The vibe in the studio? Chill but electric. The linework? Cleaner than my Spotify playlist. The colour? Pops harder than my morning coffee. If you're thinking about booking in, stop thinking and do it. Your future self (and your future tattoos) will thank you

★★★★★

This guy is SICKKKKKK I've got some weird and different taste in tattoos, but Snowy never judges, he always makes sure everything is perfect for me. Genuinely the only artist I recommend. He's a top lad who keeps the sessions flowing, never boring, and always checks that you're happy with the work. Been going to him for over 2 years now, and I'll keep coming back

★★★★★

Thank you again for the absolutely beautiful job you did on my tattoo. You came up with the perfect design based on my spec and it is completely original and exactly what I wanted. I absolutely love it and I truly could not be happier! Also cheers for putting up with me being a massive pussy about the pain.

★★★★★

Before going to snowy I jumped around a lot of tattoo artists because I couldn't find anyone I loved but once snowy did my first tattoo I have stuck with him ever since! Every tattoo l've had done by snowy are absolutely incredible, high quality and utterly stunning! He makes me feel very comfortable and I couldn't recommend him to anyone enough!

★★★★★

Very friendly and welcoming staff and very clean studio great quality of work that turned out very well healed perfectly and still looks great would definitely recommend.

★★★★★

My family and i have been going to snowy for years now, i've had almost all mine from him and none of us would think to go to anyone else. The most relaxing, positive environment and such amazing prices, the absolute best person to go to.

How should I look after my tattoo while it heals?

Your tattoo will usually take around 2 to 4 weeks to go through the main healing stage. Keep it clean, avoid picking or scratching, and stay away from swimming, baths, hot tubs, saunas and direct sunlight while it heals.

If Second Skin has been applied, leave it on for around 3 to 5 days unless it becomes loose, leaks or causes irritation.
