Our Values

Vellum Tattoo is a Nottingham independent local business based in the heart of West Bridgford.
Vellum is a warm creative studio home to our artists Jai Gilchrist and Freya Smyth-Callard and our budding apprentices.
Vellum is a beautiful and open studio welcoming all through the door to collaborate in creating a tattoo to tell their story.
What story are you telling?

Skin Stories

Every skin tells a story. Whether it is laugh-lines, that scar you got when you were eight or something you have purposefully chosen to put there like a tattoo or piercing. In our modern culture, tattoos can mean almost anything - or nothing. They can be commemorative, markers of occasions and experiences or simply beautiful decoration. However, as we go through life our tastes can change and that little tattoo you got as a teenager may no longer tell the story you want it to.
At Vellum Tattoo we specialise in making tattoos that are as individual as the people who are wearing them.

Helping you to re-imagine yourself.
