the studio

not a shop,a studio.

shade. was built around one idea — great tattooing deserves great space. high ceilings, white walls, natural light. no walk-in chaos, no rush. just artists who care deeply about what they do and clients who respect it.

based in yaxley on the edge of peterborough, we're home to a collective of artists who each bring something completely different. the studio feels good to be in — that's deliberate.
