Welcome to Great Bear Tattoo
–
We are a modern custom tattoo studio, located in Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire. Owned and operated by Callan Leavesley and his team, prioritising hygiene, customer service and high-quality tattoos. We also house an art gallery and creative space that periodically hosts art workshops and events, run by local creatives and ourselves.
We have original artwork, fine art prints, clothing and accessories available created by the studio team as well as artists from the local area, which can be purchased in-store. Our creative events are also the perfect opportunity to discover talented artists and makers.
Find us on Facebook and Instagram to follow our updates, tattoos and artwork.
★ Just a little notice for all customers ★
For tattooing, we operate predominately as a private studio, as we have found that this works best for our clients and us on a day-to-day basis, which means all tattoo work and consultations are by appointment only.
To discuss a tattoo we kindly ask you to contact us online first, and we can then advise whether a consultation at the studio is needed, or whether we are able to organise an appointment for the tattoo online.
For all enquiries, you can contact us via email, Facebook, Instagram or our Contact Form.
When enquiring about a tattoo, please include as much information as possible, including a brief description of your ideas, placement on the body, overall size, and attach any reference images you have seen that you like. We will work with you to create a custom design so your ideas do not need to be final, but providing as much information as possible will help us give a much faster and more efficient response.
We aim to respond to everyone as fast as possible, however, we do at times have high volumes of enquiries, so please allow 2-3 working days for our reply.
(Please note: our receptionist Tracy works Tuesday-Friday only, for any urgent enquiries you can call the studio on 01782 838500 during working hours, or leave a message).
Big love from us all at Great Bear Tattoo.
