Vagabond Tattoo Studio

Vagabond custom tattoo studio in Hackney London, is born from the collaboration of tattoo artist Paul Hill and graphic designer Rebecca Morris.

The studio’s aesthetic is heavily influenced by Rebecca’s design background, the modern and stripped back decor creates a crisp and clean space, perfect for showcasing the tattoo artists’ work.

Paul’s artwork stems from a background in custom car air-brushing and pin-striping, a creative and skilled art form which allowed him to naturally progress into tattooing. The shop houses a custom built motorbike, a throwback to Paul’s air-brushing days.

From working in busy walk-in studios, Paul has developed a clean and crisp tattoo technique visible in his graphic style. He revels in bolder, moody looking tattoos which re-imagine traditional flash.

 

The shop is also home to tattoo artists: Harry Harvey who excels in traditional and old-school tattooing and Andrew Hulbert who predominately works in an illustrative style with black line work.

 The five-strong team welcome anyone to pop into the shop to discuss tattoo ideas or gallery exhibitions.

Get your tat out – completely random Dolphin fun.

get-your-tat-outTonight, I have finally got round to putting about three months worth of pictures onto my computer. I stumbled across these two photos. From the floor I can deduct that these pictures were taken in the Dolphin. However I have no idea who the photos feature, so if it’s you please get in touch!

Drunken fun in the Dolphin
East London antics in the Dolphin, Hackney

On the same night this photo was taken of me and my friend Keely. If any of you Hackney folk have ever been to the Dolphin you will understand the drunken, glazed look of the eyes and the photos of a random man’s tattoos…see you there on Friday for a Jägerbomb or three?
