Beth - Hand-poked Tattoos
ARTIST DAYS: FRIDAY
Tattooing at SHY is currently led by Beth - Indigo Forever Tattoos.
Beth’s work is hand-poked and fine-lined, intentional and quietly expressive. She has a strong eye for placement and proportion, creating pieces that feel balanced on the body and considered in scale.
Her style leans towards delicate line work, minimal designs and thoughtful custom pieces that feel personal. Each tattoo begins with a conversation. There is space to explore ideas, refine details and ensure the design feels aligned.
Appointments take place in a calm, private setting within SHY.
Beth manages her own bookings directly. To enquire or book, please contact her via email below.
