New tattoo studio in Falmouth set to open this autumn

Located in the heart of Falmouth harbour, adjacent to the Maritime Museum, the new studio will showcase local, national, and international artists. In doing so, it hopes to provide a boost to the local arts scene, as both local enthusiasts and tattoo tourists alike visit this wonderful part of Cornwall.

Recognising the need for a more approachable space for tattoo lovers, especially newcomers and individuals with a limited tattoo collection, Stories & Ink is seeking to "revolutionise" the industry's often intimidating image. 

The studio aims to create a safe and inclusive environment for all people to express themselves through the art of tattooing. With more of a spa-like atmosphere than a traditional tattoo studio, it aims to cater for the growing demand for an immersive and tranquil tattooing experience.

Stories & Ink Studio, Falmouth, manager, Matilda Lacey, says: "We're thrilled to be joining the top tattoo shops in the SW. Our studio provides a welcoming and comforting experience to all clients who step through our door.

"Our close-knit team of three female artists, each offering their unique styles, will take good care of first-time rodeo and tattoo veteran appointments alike. Stay tuned for upcoming events at our beautiful Falmouth location.’"

Stories & Ink founder, Stu Jolley, says: "As a business owner I was drawn to Falmouth because of its almost California-like lifestyle, which fosters creativity and encourages artists to thrive. By establishing this studio, Stories & Ink aims to create a mecca for tattoo enthusiasts, allowing people to hang out, get tattooed and grab a coffee from the space.

"The studio's dedicated team of skilled and talented artists are committed to creating exceptional tattoos that tell the unique stories of each client."
