ABOUT STEVEN


Steven Graham has always had a natural pull toward art. From a young age, he found a real passion for still life drawing and photography, leaving school with his highest grades in art and continuing to create in his spare time whenever he could.

Determined to turn that passion into a career, Steven tried to enter the tattoo industry through the traditional routes. When opportunities didn’t come easily, he took matters into his own hands and began teaching himself, building his skills through persistence, discipline and years of dedication.

That determination led him to work in some incredible studios across the United Kingdom while also travelling and working alongside talented artists around the world. Along the way, he was also featured on Channel 5’s Get Your Tatts Out: Kavos Ink adding another memorable chapter to his journey.

Today, after meeting his wife and building a life together, Steven’s focus has shifted toward creating something more meaningful... a private studio experience where clients can feel comfortable, relaxed and fully looked after. A calm environment where every session receives his full attention, experience and care.

For Steven, tattooing has never just been about the artwork. It’s about trust, connection and giving people an experience they’ll remember for the right reasons. Here, you’re not treated like just another client, you’re welcomed like family.

Judge on Healed Work

The real test of any realism piece isn't the day it's finished, it's how it looks months and years later. Healed results are shown throughout the portfolio.

"No industry conventions, no competition trophies. The work and the healed results are the only credentials that matter here."

STUDIO LOCATION


A Private Studio, Purpose-Built for Focus The studio is based in East Kilbride, within easy reach of Glasgow and the wider Central Belt — chosen specifically for the calm, private setting a serious realism project deserves, away from the noise of a high-street studio. Clients travel from Glasgow and across Scotland for sessions here.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make an appointment?

Please fill in the form on the contact page and i will reach out to get more specific with your application to be tattooed.

How long do I keep a fresh tattoo covered?

I advise to only keep it covered for an hour. after this time remove any cling film or bandage and wash the new tattoo with unscented antibacterial soap. Your skin needs to breathe so please dont over use after care.

To get the best results, make sure you're well rested and have eaten before the tattoo session. Avoid alcohol or blood thinners the day before, moisturise the area that is getting tattooed and skip any lotions or oils. wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the area being tattooed.

Yes, I ask for a commitment upfront. this will come off the overall price on the day and allows me to secure your desired date
