Find the DoorDavid is a mental health advocate and works alongside a couple of charities to support his clients where he can. Mental Health Mondays are heavily discounted one-hour sessions — a chance to get tattooed and talk through whatever's on your mind, in a calm, judgement-free space.
David Sheldon
David Sheldon has spent over fourteen years building an award-winning reputation for black & grey realism — though he's just as comfortable across colour, Japanese, neo-traditional and everything in between.
"No tattoo is too big or too small."
A grafter who gets serious work done in a single session, David takes on any design you bring his way and treats every piece as a one-off. Bring a reference, a rough idea, or just a feeling — he'll draw it up and make it yours.
Planning a bigger piece? Pay your way. Split the cost of your tattoo into manageable payments with Klarna, or pay by credit and debit card.
