OUR PROCESS: ‘BY DESIGN’
Many of the styles we create, come from actual architectural lettering around London.
Much loved and observed, we photograph or trace, then conserved in final drawings and Auto-Cad, in-house and completely bespoke.

Our designs are garnered from hundreds of projects, spanning 3 decades.

Rekindled as per the hand of the original artists and kept in our font archive.

The Studio has since been re-painted and not written by us and personally I’m not a big fane of the 1920s font for the new place but hey this Case History covers the first shop version we made.

This project started up and ran for some 8 weeks, a churn of 125 emails, going through an incredible range of edits till finally going up in truly awesome style!
5 Blenheim Crescent has become the Tattoo groove shack over night and on the official opening day there was a tail back up the street of eager tattoo fans and clients alike.
They surged into the shop and the guys cranked up and started tattooing like crazy…
By the end of the first afternoon dozens of tats had been inked or started, I’d completed a photo shoot with Flamingo magazine and 2 gilded panels, 2 glass gilded panels, one wall emblem, one numeral…
It was time to PaRtY!!!
Congratulations to Becky Morgan who shaped a great shop…
Chillin’ with the duo… finally it’s all open…
The quality of the logo drawings was stunning… straight out of the Miami Ink studio and into my printer the sketch was then faithfully reproduced in 24ct gold leaf.
