We have such sights to show you..

The studio is not just your average tattoo studio. One for sorrow is full of oddities, curiosities, taxidermy, human skulls, antique medical equipment and much more. We encourage you to take a look around, ask questions and take everything in!

Mummified Fox

Named ‘Deadward’ (like edward but dead..)

Deadward the fox is from St Lucia,  found under the floorboards of a property by the second people to live there.

Burying cats, dogs, and other animals are a way of warding off evil spirits.

It is also a tradition in the UK especially in old towns like Shrewsbury, and they can be found in walls and floors of old houses.

Karen the Haunted Doll

This doll was gifted by a medium who used it as an item to store a spirit. In this case, a playful, cheeky spirit named ‘Karen’

Child’s Coffin

This beautiful child’s coffin is from approximately the 1800’s era Germany.

Human Skulls

The studio is home to multiple human skulls. The ones in this image in particular are kept in a cabinet as they are particularly fragile. The one on the right still has part of the burial shroud attached to the skull. We don’t know the exact date of the skulls, however we believe they are at least 200 years old.

Human Skulls

Our artists use the skulls in the studio for reference imagery to draw tattoo designs, or just general doodling!

Taxidermy

We have lots of taxidermy at the studio. Everyone has their favourite, which one will be yours?! This image is of our little vampire deer.
