Anna Garvey. Expressive custom tattooing.
Hailing from ancient middle England, I bring influences from the beautiful natural world around me in to tattoos made with love and care, and attention.
Every person is unique, and the art on their skin should reflect the inner person. Taking time to listen to the ideas of each client, and working with them to create something unique and beautiful that will last a lifetime is just the beginning of the adventure together...
I began working in a tattoo studio at just 16 years old, completed a long traditional apprenticeship, and since 2008 have traveled the world, opened my own successful studio in 2010, and tattooed and worked alongside many wonderful people.
I now run a private studio in Nottingham city centre, specialising in post-mastectomy and scar cover tattooing.

TESTIMONIALS
Rate: Excellent
Like best: I found Anna having searched for a watercolour specialist, and chose her because of her obvious talent as an artist. My design process was complex because I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted and there was a cover-up element to contend with too, but Anna guided me skilfully through all my concerns. On the day of my appointment I was only 50% sure I’d actually get my tattoo done as I was still not convinced on the design, but after Anna spent 15mins drawing on my skin with a pen, I was sold. How did she know exactly what I wanted when I didn’t even know that myself?! She really listens, and cares about the reasons behind her clients’ choices. She understands the journey. She’s great at interpreting vague ideas into actual suggestions, and honing in on what really is important to the client. And as for the art, well. A person who can draw a horse that really looks like a horse, freehand on a person’s wrist, UPSIDE DOWN (the horse faces me so for her it was upside down!) well that’s skill as far as I’m concerned. The outlines are crisp and yet also subtle where they need to be, the watercolour element is beautiful, the colour selection just perfect. I could not be happier with either my choice of tattooist or the art she has given me. Thank you Anna, you can never know how important your work is to me. Thank you.

I absolutely love my new tattoo. It’s even better than I could have imagined! I was feeling nervous about getting it done and Anna was great at putting my nerves to rest. Particularly love the use of colour. Thank you so much Anna! :-)

Anna was very friendly, and made me feel relaxed and confident to get a tattoo done with her. I spoke to her, and had an online consultation to discuss what I wanted my tattoo to look like. I loved the design she did for me. It was just the thing I wanted, and I liked the colours. The tattoo took all day, and the studio is private, you can take a break whenever you need one. Anna was professional and made sure the tattoo was perfect. I really like it, and would highly recommend her. I would definitely go back if I decided to have another tattoo.
WOULD RECOMMEND
Yes
ANYTHING TO ADD
I would highly recommend Anna for post surgery scar tattoos. She has experience and knowledge and really made me feel confident in going ahead with it, and looking at my tattoo instead of my scar makes me feel happy!
