Just a stone’s throw from the noise and busyness of Courtenay Place lies Three Rabbits Tattoo, an intimate, creative sanctuary where every detail has been thoughtfully curated to put you at ease while sparking inspiration. This isn’t just a place to get a tattoo, it’s a space where creativity and comfort coexist in perfect balance.

The studio itself presents like a living, working piece of art. East Asian motifs heavily abound, from the logo to the masses of framed artwork that jostle for space on the walls. A warm palette of uplifting yellows and calming greens helps create an atmosphere that’s equal parts vibrant and soothing, while a handpicked playlist hums in the background. It’s all geared towards creating a harmonious environment that inspires both the artist and the client.

At the heart of Three Rabbits is a collective of passionate artists who believe that great tattooing starts with inclusivity and genuine connection. Whether it’s your first piece or you’re adding to a well-established collection, you’re welcomed by a friendly team that immediately allays any nerves. The diverse team brings a wide range of styles to the table, from delicate fine-line work and intricate black and grey pieces to bold colour designs and contemporary statement tattoos. Every artist here brings their own perspective, but all share a commitment to intentional, meaningful artistry.

Three Rabbits’ Tory Street location means it’s easily accessible, yet once inside, it feels worlds away. Come and lose yourself in this studio that’s built not just for tattoos, but for the entire experience that comes with them.
