Your Trusted Tattoo Studio in Glasgow
Established in 2013, Sugar Skull Tattoo Studio has redefined tattoo artistry in Glasgow by combining exceptional technical skill with unparalleled customer care. Our studio operates on the principle that every tattoo is a lifelong commitment for our clients, which is why we prioritise sterile environments, bespoke design consultations, and artist-client collaboration. Our team comprises three resident artists with distinct specialisms and international guest artists who bring global perspectives to our creative process. We maintain rigorous hygiene standards while fostering a welcoming atmosphere where clients feel heard and valued. Our artists actively engage with global tattoo communities to stay at the forefront of design trends while maintaining individuality in every piece. Unlike conventional studios, we treat each appointment as a significant personal milestone for clients rather than just another day at work. Our commitment to excellence extends beyond the tattoo itself to encompass the entire customer journey, from initial concept development to final aftercare guidance.

Cant recommend it enough. Great experience from start to finish. In the middle of getting a leg sleeve done by Jonny and the guy is an actual genius. Has taken the elements I wanted, has worked his magic and its turning out better than i could have imagined. Can see that Jonny is just as excited about getting it finished as I am which shows just how much he enjoys his work. The rest of the staff are great too. Adrian is always pleasant and is more than happy to deal with anything and really makes getting a tattoo more inviting.

100% recommend sugar skull. I had a full day session and it was a comfortable experience through out. Highly professional and I wouldn't go anywhere else. The effort the artists put in to the tattoo is unbelievable and that's why I can't wait to go back for future sessions. Big thanks to Oscar who designed and done my tattoo. Highly impressed with the detail.

I was at Sugar Skull on Tuesday having my tattoo done by Kris , first of all i never imagined myself having something so big and that covered part of my body ... But im so glad i had it done !! I absolutely love it !! Kris really did do an amazing job !! Adrian was brilliant too, I gave him a few ideas of what i wanted , and the design they came up with was amazing 💗 i was there for 6 hours on the day and during the whole process was very comfortable ! The staff are very helpful and friendly making sure you get exactly what you want and at an affordable price too. I would definetly recommend this place to anyone looking to get a tattoo done.

I had a full day session to cover up an existing tattoo. Gave a couple of ideas of what I wanted and was over the moon with the half sleeve that Oscar designed - so creative!. The quality of work and the area covered in such little time was amazing especially at such an affordable price. Looking forward to returning to add to it! Very professional

I had 2 tattoos from a different tattooist on my arm and I wanted my sleeve finished off by these guys. Adrian is great to deal with, he listens to your ideas and he along with Kris came up with a few more ideas. I've been for 4 or 5 visits to complete my sleeve and I'm extremely happy with it. I'd highly recommend these guys to anybody

Had a few tattoos from Oscar, most recently a rose on my left hand, i can't speak highly enough of this shop. Great service, from the start of your design, to the application. Oscar is a top notch artist, and I'll be back again and again.....even if i have to put up with his rubbish music
