Professional Tattoo, Piercing & Laser Treatment Studio in Aberdeen
Established in 1990, Richards has been serving Aberdeen's Merchant City for over three decades. Our studio combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, offering a comprehensive range of body art services in a safe and hygienic environment. Our team of skilled artists specialises in diverse tattoo styles including realism, watercolour, traditional, and neo-traditional designs. In 2021, we expanded our services to include advanced laser tattoo removal using Scotland's only Lynton SYNCHRO QS4 machine. We maintain strict hygiene protocols across all our services, from initial consultations to aftercare support. Our flexible booking system accommodates both walk-in clients and pre-booked appointments for tattoos and piercings.

The laser treatment service operates by appointment only, ensuring dedicated time for each client's needs. Our practitioners have received specialist training and Lynton approval for tattoo removal treatments. We provide comprehensive aftercare guidance for all procedures, including detailed instructions for both tattoo and piercing aftercare. The studio's commitment to quality extends to our piercing services, which are conducted in a private studio area with gender-specific staff options. Our location at 3 Trinity Quay places us at the heart of Aberdeen's creative quarter, serving both local residents and visitors.

What tattoo styles do you specialise in?
We specialise in realism, watercolour, traditional, new school, tribal, neo-traditional, Celtic, Japanese, and portrait styles. Our artists can also create custom cover-up designs.
Do you offer laser tattoo removal for coloured tattoos?
Yes, our Lynton SYNCHRO QS4 machine effectively treats both black/grey and coloured tattoos. Consultations help determine the number of sessions required for specific tattoo removal goals.
Can I walk in for piercing services?
Walk-ins are welcome for piercings when space is available. However, pre-booked appointments guarantee specific time slots and are recommended for complex piercing procedures.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash payments for all services. Deposits for appointments can be made via bank transfer, but final payments must be in cash.
How should I prepare for a tattoo appointment?
Ensure adequate rest and hydration before your session. Avoid alcohol consumption 24 hours prior. Bring reference images and arrive with clean skin ready for stencil application.
What aftercare products do you recommend?
We provide specific aftercare products and instructions during consultations. Our recommendations include fragrance-free moisturisers and detailed cleaning guidance tailored to each procedure type.
