Real Stories From Tattoo Clients

"I've had tattoos for many years now and felt it was time to get them freshened up a bit. Met Nathan, who is the owner, and Craig, one of the tattooists at the studio. Both gave me very sound advice and a plan to get some of my tats reworked. Craig then showed me around the tattoo area, which again was spotless and comfortable. When he got started, all the safety and hygiene rules were followed very thoroughly and in the end he did a fantastic job, with the tattoo now having vibrant colours and looking new again. As a result, I will be going ahead with more reworks with Utopia in the very near future.”

“The studio is so welcoming and relaxing. 100% recommend.” — Jill

Everything You Want to Know Before Getting Tattooed at Utopia

How do I choose the right tattoo artist at Utopia for my style?

We work with multiple resident and guest tattoo artists in Aberdeen, each with their own unique specialist style. Our artists have diverse experience in fine line, minimal work, Japanese, neo-traditional, Californian traditional, and custom large-scale pieces. If, after going through their profile, you're not sure whether a particular artist is the right fit for you, you can contact them directly for personalised guidance.

Do Utopia tattoo artists create custom tattoos or only flash designs?

Our tattoo artists focus heavily on custom, one-off tattoo projects. When they are not working on tattoo projects, they work as painters, designers, and illustrators, which means your design will be created as a personalised piece rather than a generic design.

I’m getting my first tattoo in Aberdeen, will Utopia help me through the process?

Yes, we will. We have a welcoming studio where you can feel comfortable asking any question. In fact, our team encourages consultations before booking tattoo appointments so that they can give you the best recommendations to suit your style.

Was pierced by the friendly Jordan Smith (instagram-@smithypiercer)! Felt very informed prior to the piercing and had an in depth conversation about which jewellery would be best. Jordan wanted us to have the best healing process and just made our group booking feel super at ease!!

I would like to say a big thank you to Jordan, after recently suffering a Stroke I was unable to put my Tragus hoops back in myself and he kindly assisted me. He understood that something so small could help me feel a bit more "normal" Much appreciated! A pleasure to meet him and a real asset to the shop! Cheers again George

Excellent experience from start to finish. Nathan and Craig provided great advice, a welcoming atmosphere, and outstanding professionalism. The studio was spotless, and the quality of work exceeded my expectations. My refreshed tattoo looks vibrant and better than ever. I'll definitely be returning for more work in the future.
