Raymond has done full sleeves on both my arms, he has done both complete shoulders, complete back, full chest, sides and mid section and 1 leg (so far).

In total Raymond has done 43 tattoos on my body since 2022. I honestly trust no one else even if they are cheaper. Quality and workmanship over price always.

Raymond's attention to detail is unmatched in my experience and I would recommend Woke Tattoo Studio to anyone wanting to either get their first tattoo, expand on what they have or cover-up a tattoo.

I'm indian and most tattoo artist don't know how to tattoo dark skin and make the ink stick. Raymond was able to do this, as well as still get colour to hold well to my skin type.

Raymond, you are a champion amongst artists my friend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’m absolutely in love with my tattoo! 😍 It came out even better than I imagined. The detail is incredible, the lines are so clean, and everything about it is exactly what I wanted.

The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. I felt comfortable, listened to, and completely confident throughout the process. You can really see the amount of care and talent that went into the work.

I honestly can’t stop looking at it! 😂❤️ I’m so happy with the final result and I’ll definitely be coming back for my next one. Highly recommend!

Skin Tone Guide

Your Skin. Your Colour. Your Tattoo.

Every skin tone interacts with tattoo pigment differently. Choose the tone that looks closest to yours and explore colours, contrast and tattoo styles that can work beautifully with your skin.

Choose the arm closest to your skin tone.

Lighting, screen settings, tanning and natural variation can affect perceived colour.

TATTOOS WITH MEANING

Crafted for Life.

Every tattoo tells a story. Some celebrate new beginnings. Others honour where you come from, who you love, or who you are becoming. At Woke Tattoo Studio, we take the time to understand the meaning before we make the mark.

You will leave with more than a tattoo—you will leave with a piece that feels unmistakably yours.
