One For Sorrow Tattoo Studio Shrewsbury

'I believe in deeply ordered chaos' - Francis Bacon

OFS is a place with the vision to be a centre for inspiring dark artists and people of a curious nature. We believe that the experience of visiting a leading tattoo studio and being tattooed is something that should last as long as the piece itself.

Our tattoo artists are specialists in all styles of tattooing. From black and grey realism, full colour, to neo traditional, fineline or whimsical animals we will have the artist for the job. We are happy to take on tattoos of all sizes from small finger tattoos to a complete back piece or sleeve design. We will make your ideas come to life as art on your skin.

Book your next tattoo with us!

You can book through our website using the contact and booking forms.  Got an enquiry? You can email or contact us through our social media pages and one of our tattoo artists will respond to you as soon as possible.

The Experience

We believe that the whole experience of visiting and being tattooed at the studio is something special and individual, and it should be a good experience that lasts as long as the piece itself. We recognise tattoos can be a deeply personal journey for some and we want you to feel as comfortable as possible.
