Briar Rose Tattoo, London
Meet Michelle, a London-based artist at Briar Rose Tattoos specializing in black & grey illustrative work. Michelle is open to most styles and subjects but especially loves tattooing skulls, animals, insects, and plants - anything nature-related, especially with a witchy twist.
Absolutely superb experience from booking to walking out with my little goodybag. Michelle was so enthusiastic and prompt via email with a phenomenal sketch well before the appointment. The vibes of the shop are so comfy and everyone I met, from other clients to staff were so friendly. Would definitely recommend Michelle for a first tattoo because of the care as well as such gentle technique. Could have happily stayed all day! She really cares as we had a long chat about aftercare as I've had 50/50 reaction experiences with second skin before so making sure the tattoo heals as well as possible was great to talk through. So thrilled with the design, tattoo experience and aftercare! It's only been a week and it's healed so well and the line work is immaculate!
I couldn’t be happier with my new tattoo by Michelle! From the initial design to the final result, she was amazing to work with, creative, patient, and genuinely lovely throughout. I had a rough idea of what I wanted, and she brought it to life so beautifully. The way she’s incorporated my existing beetle tattoo (that was done by her the previous year) is absolutely incredible, it looks like the whole piece was done at the same time. It flows so naturally and feels like such a cohesive design now. This was the longest tattoo session I’ve ever had, and I had a few involuntary twitches, so I wasn’t always the easiest canvas! But Michelle was so kind, reassuring and professional. She made me feel completely at ease throughout, and I really appreciated her calm, encouraging presence. I’ve come away with a piece I’m truly in love with. If you’re looking for a tattoo that’s elegant, thoughtful, and crafted with real care and artistry, I can’t recommend Michelle enough. Thank you so much!
To hold your spot, I usually require a £50 deposit. This deposit will be applied to the final cost of your tattoo and is paid by card through Tattoodo when you book the appointment. I offer financing options through Klarna, allowing you to spread out the deposit and/or the final cost if needed. The remaining amount is paid on the day of the appointment. I prefer bank transfer but accept cash too :)
I usually send a sketch of the design a few days in advance, so you can check it out and make sure it’s exactly what you envision. If you have any tweaks in mind, don’t hesitate to let me know!
If you need to reschedule or cancel, please let me know asap. If you reschedule 14 days in advance, you can transfer your deposit to the new appointment. Otherwise a new deposit will required. Deposits are non-refundable.
Yes! You‘re welcome to bring a friend to your appointment, but please let me know in advance. And please avoid bringing along more than one person (the studio is quite cozy, so there might not be enough space).
