Phantom Ink

Birdy cover up started today, cheers Cheryl!

Pocket watches and roses, old favourites from YJ. Healed lines, fresh shading.

Flowers, birdies and swirls, YJ

Today YJ has mostly been clowning around....

Hello there Phantomites. The studio was closed over the weekend and a fair few emails and calls were missed, with Young Joe (me) being off ill with some nasty infection in my mouth! Not to worry, I'm on the mend now and should be getting back to everyone regarding your appointments. See you all soon!

The Phantom will be closed tomorrow! No messages will be replied to till Sunday at the earliest. Have a good weekend (y)

So I have put in the first installment for this calf piece, some jazzy oriental dragon blade thing. Now what do you think I will be adding in next?

Couple of hours into colouring this big ol freehand, funky as hell dragon... Plenty to go yet.

Cute sleepy kitty!

Because Football!!!! YJ

Good morning Phantomites! Cheeky wip shot of this Ganesha piece from YJ. We hope you all make the most of the sun.... And maybe call down the studio to book your next piece (;

The start of little rework, a little cover up and a lot of extension. YJ

One big ol Angel for Leigh, as always had a lot of fun with this.

One finished pretty flowery dotty design! Would love to do more floral pieces this sort of scale (: YJ

Lambs, Lions, you get the idea, just a little to add to this, but it's almost there. All custom, YJ

Hey Phantomites, YJ here! I'll be away from the studio all next week, I won't be replying to messages, so there. I have faith the other guys will get back to you in a timely fashion! As a last post for a few days, here we have the mock up for the front windows

Funky stuff!

Little different in the way of approach and styling for me, but I had good fun getting the lines down with this today. YJ

The shop tattoo in lincoln is the only shop i go to for a tattoo i trust them 100% and considering i have 16 i know what i am talking about. I always get told my tattoos are feminine and beautifully presented and Joey talking to his clients through out the work helps focus the client away from the pain. Anyone whom thinks a tattoo will not hurt you are defintely wrong so should not get one done. However all of mine have meaning so you just get on with it as they say no pain no gain. I would recommend this shop to anyone wanting a tattoo 100%

Super happy with my tattoo, great studio with amazing artists.

Started my cover up tattoo here yesterday, never been tattooed by a more friendly person, so easy to chat to and so lovely. Can’t wait to go back to get it finished off!

Myself, my wife, my Brother and Two of my Daughter’s have been tattooed here, by both Joes. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Top lads, great tattoos and a clean working practice/shop.

My regular tattoo shop. YJ does amazing work and currently in process if getting another very unique tattoo done. Always feel relaxed here and the atmosphere creating by the guys is very chilled.

Loving my tattoo, hard to finish someone else’s work but done a fab job

Known for many years and have had fabulous ink work from them over the years too .. great atmosphere and very welcoming and friendly .. can't wait to get on with my big cover up on my leg :) <3 Amz

Just had my tattoo on my foot re done didn't hurt half as bad as last time. Thank you so much, young Joe for the work and for making me feel at ease through out. Xx

I travelled from bedfordshire ( IN THE SNOW PEOPLE I TELL YOU!!!) to have another tattoo done by the amazing DAVE. Absolutely love it!!! Awesome conversation about growing up northern...free coffee and an awesome tattoo all in 4 hours. Would highly recommend!!!

I had a big tattoo done yesturday with big Joe very professional and 100% satisfied with my result will recommend this guy absolutely....thanks Joe (hope I have the name right) � it's amazing I will post a photo

I can't recommend this place enough! Had our tattoos today with OJ - joey. He was so professional but also very friendly. Will definitely be going back! Thankyou again two very happy customers �

Had most of my tats done here, so has my husband and daughter. All my kids have had their piercings done as well. Great friendly people who always have time to chat and give advice. Always recommend them when people ask us where to go.

Had a tattoo and piercing done within this last week. Fab on both accounts!

Great tattoos, Great customer service and great prices, Adrian (Old Joe) is just a top lad and he puts a lot of effort into what he does I would highly recommend this tattoo shop and I honestly think it’s the best in lincoln.



I will 100% be going back to get the rest of my sleeve done and all other tattoos I want in the future will be done here.



Again just a great shop deserves a 5 Star review because it’s a 5 Star place.

Got some old tattoos on my fingers redone, and got some new ones added to my fingers and thumb, and I couldn't of found a better artist or studio to go to, the work is incredible and I felt really relaxed, I'd highly recommend this place to anyone, I'll definitely be going back

Did me a neck piece saying rip nan, was amazing. I love it so does my family and that’s all that matters! Thanks a lot brother

Deffo have alot more work done here great staff and great tattoo artists

Been thinking about getting a tattoo done for about 40 years decided to go for it before I got too old.

Had a tribal arm band done by senior Joe, and it turned out 100% how I expected it to be, this guy is totally professional and he’s proud of what he does and he takes his time, extremely pleased, plotting the next tattoo.. Thanks Joe

After years of daily headaches and weekly migraines I decided to have the Daith piercing !

Nearly 4 weeks later and not one migraine and only 2 slight headaches that went very fast!

Best thing I ever did! Thank you guys for all your help!
