What Is a Custom Tattoo?

A custom tattoo is a completely bespoke piece of artwork created specifically for you. Rather than choosing a design from a flash sheet, your tattoo is designed around your ideas, inspiration, placement and personal style.

Some clients arrive with a detailed vision, while others simply know the feeling or meaning they want to capture. Either way, Jenny works closely with you to create a tattoo that feels unique and personal.

Whether you're looking for a meaningful first tattoo, a large statement piece or something to commemorate an important moment, every design is approached with creativity, honesty and attention to detail.

Bring Your Ideas to Life

This is a basic text element.

You don't need to be an artist or have a finished drawing before booking.

Jenny encourages clients to bring:

  • Reference images
  • Pinterest inspiration
  • Sketches
  • Symbols or meaningful objects
  • Children's drawings
  • Existing artwork
  • AI-generated concepts
  • Multiple ideas you'd like combined into one design

These references help build a clear understanding of the style you're looking for before creating your bespoke artwork.

A Wide Range of Tattoo Styles

Jenny has 17 years of tattooing experience and works across a wide variety of styles, allowing the design to be led by the client rather than restricted to one particular speciality.

Tattoo styles available include:

  • Fine line
  • Floral
  • Script and lettering
  • Traditional
  • Neo-traditional
  • Japanese
  • Geometric
  • Ornamental
  • Portrait
  • Polynesian
  • Memorial tattoos
  • Custom illustrative designs

Why Choose Turquoise Blue Tattoo?

Choosing a tattoo artist is about more than technical skill. It's about finding someone who listens, understands your ideas and creates a tattoo you'll be proud to wear for years to come.

Every tattoo begins with listening. Jenny takes the time to understand what you genuinely want and will never pressure you into choosing something that doesn't feel right for you. If a particular design, size or placement isn't likely to heal or age well, she'll always explain why and recommend a better alternative. Her goal is to create tattoos that not only look great on the day but continue to age as well as possible over time.

  • 17 years of tattooing experience
  • A private, relaxed and welcoming studio
