It was an absolute privilege and honour to be trusted to bring life to Chloe's childhood drawing of Twenty One Pilot's little alien Ned. This piece was a joy from start to finish (for me, maybe not so much for Chloe!) ❤️

🫯 MEET THE ARTIST 🫯

It's been a hot minute since I've introduced myself and a few things have changed, so if you haven't met me in person yet:

Hi! I'm Ani (they/them). I am one of the tattoo artists at Ink Imaginarium.

I have been tattooing since 2022. I did my apprenticeship with Hayley (our wonderful studio owner) and she hasn't been able to get rid of me since!

I am a scatter-brained, chaotic menace whose goal in life is to make your tattoo journey as fun and fulfilling as possible!

I enjoy ALL aspects of tattooing and love doing all styles, but if you come to me asking for anything horror or video game related especially, I might just try to be your new best friend!

I adore all of my clients and count myself extremely lucky that I get to work with you all!

(I am also awful at social media)

Feel free to drop me a message with any enquiries (my admin days are Mondays and Thursdays, which is when I reply to messages, so please be patient)!

A couple of really lovely pieces for Angela today! These were so fun to create and a privilege to tattoo 😊 Sat like a dream, despite the unreasonable heat 🫶

(I am so behind on posting, so if I've tattooed you recently and haven't posted it, that's probably why!)

When you adore Disney, but you're also a little bit in love with chaos, too.

A touch of Beauty and the Beast, a dash of Tangled and a sprinkle of chaos!

Reference provided by the lovely Libby, drawn by her dear friend and adapted for the tattoo by me. This one was a real collaborative effort and so much fun 😊

More roses added to this piece and a sweet little butterfly to cover scarring and what was left after lasering an old piece.

This project is fast becoming one of my favourites I've ever done and it's a real privilege to work with this client. Always an absolute pleasure to have you in my chair 😊

Mixture of healed and fresh work!

'So, how did you guys celebrate your anniversary?'

'... ducks.'

This one was super fun and cute! Thanks, guys, for trusting me to play this small part in your celebrations.

Here's to many more happy years for you both 🫶

Hey all!

Any of you who know me, will know that I am always extremely reluctant to change my rates. That said, the time has come.

With the cost of supplies sky-rocketing and with my recent graduation to fully qualified, I am here to announce that my rates will be increasing from June 1st 2026, from £60p/h to £70 p/h.

I know that, in the world we live in, any price increases are unwelcome. Us tattoo artists are not immune to that either and I have always done my best to offer the most I can for the lowest price. That still holds true, but bills must be paid and Space Cadet Jnr must be fed (he's also grown annoying used to having a secure roof over his head and the law says I'm responsible for providing that).

All pre-existing appts will remain at the original price and anything booked in before June 1st will be quoted at my current rate.

I know that I have the most incredible clients and your support has always been the most vital part of my tattoo career. I continue to be eternally grateful for each and every one of you 🙏

This one was so special and I cannot thank Sophie enough for the trust and honour of creating this.

Some pieces just hit differently and this one will live in my soul for a very long time ❤️

Made really good progress on this armband today, for a wonderful client who sat so well 😊 can't wait to finish this one!

Gracie sat like a seasoned pro for her first ever tattoo. What a champ! Thank you so much for trusting me to do this for you 🙏
