Tattoo artist Remy at work in the studio
Meet Remy

Real ink, real artists, real skin.

A tattoo artist who fell for fine-line and blackwork after her first stick-and-poke in art school. She breaks down the designs people are saving right now — what makes a sleeve flow, how placement changes a piece, and which styles actually age well — so you walk into the studio knowing exactly what you want.

Every idea on The Tattoo Edit starts the same way: a design that has to look right the day you get it — and still feel like you years down the line.

Explore the ideas
01

Curated, not random

Every roundup is hand-picked around one style or placement — so you're scrolling ideas that actually go together.

02

Built to age well

We favour designs and linework that still look sharp years later — not just trends that blur and fade fast.

03

Specific, not vague

Named styles, motifs, line weight and placement — so you walk into the studio knowing exactly what to ask for.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Do these designs hurt to get?+

Pain depends a lot on placement — ribs, spine and feet sting more than forearms and calves. Each roundup notes which spots tend to be gentler for a first tattoo.

I'm a first-timer. Where should I start?+

Start small and simple. Fine-line and minimalist designs heal fast, sit almost anywhere, and are a low-commitment way to see how your skin takes ink.

How often are new ideas published?+

New design roundups are added every week, style by style and placement by placement. Follow along on Pinterest to catch each one as it lands.

Can I save these ideas to Pinterest?+

Please do — every idea is designed to be pinned. Save the designs you love to your own boards and bring them along to your artist.

New every week

A new design to fall for, every week.
