Serving Derbyshire · Appointment Only
Tattoo Shop
in Derbyshire
Tattoo Creations is a custom tattoo studio in Sinfin, Derby, serving clients from across Derbyshire and the East Midlands. Appointment-only, single-artist, and focused entirely on bespoke work by Kev Oakton.
A custom tattoo studio for Derbyshire
Derbyshire has no shortage of tattoo shops, but fewer that work purely to commission. Every tattoo here is designed for one person and applied by one artist, so the early planning can happen by email and message — and travelling clients only make the trip to the Sinfin studio once the design and the appointment are locked in.
The studio has been running in Derby since 2006, working in realism, colour, black and grey, illustrative, and fine line styles, with cover-ups and redesigns a regular part of the mix.
Where clients travel from
Based in Sinfin on the south side of Derby, the studio is a short drive from the city centre with parking nearby on Wordsworth Avenue and good transport links across south Derbyshire.
Custom-only, appointment-only
If you're searching for a walk-in tattoo shop in Derbyshire, it's worth knowing the studio works differently. Every piece is designed ahead of time, so sessions are booked rather than turned up to. It keeps the space calm, the hygiene controlled, and the artwork tailored to you — especially valuable if you're travelling in from elsewhere in the county.
The best first step is a short consultation, in person or by email, to talk through your idea, placement, and size before anything is booked.
Frequently asked questions
