The Old Marine Arts Group, a tattoo studio situated on Colney Hatch Lane in Colindale, has reached its second anniversary of operation. Since opening in September 2024, the business has completed approximately 500 tattoo sessions.
The studio serves a wide age demographic, with clients ranging from 18 to 83 years old.

Service Adjustments and New Offerings
Initially, Old Marine Arts Group provided both tattooing and piercing services. However, the business discontinued its piercing service last year due to challenges in recruiting suitably experienced piercers. In response to numerous inquiries about learning the craft, the studio introduced a monthly half-day introductory tattooing course. This course is led by resident tattoo artist and co-owner TomCatTatt.
The studio has also hosted guest artists, including Shane Kealy, who has a background in illustration and animation and has been tattooing in London since 2021. Current promotional offers include mini tattoos at £50 each, with discounts for multiple tattoos on the same person.
