Empire Ink

Empire Ink is a tattoo studio in Edinburgh, established in 2017 by internationally awarded tattoo artist Alex Rattray. Building the studio was a labour of love, with every effort made to create a space that reflected the quality of the tattoos produced within it. The result is a dedicated environment where craftsmanship and attention to detail sit at the heart of the studio's identity.

The studio is home to a team of resident artists working from its Edinburgh base, offering clients the chance to explore the individual styles and specialties each artist brings to the space. Empire Ink also maintains an active presence beyond its own walls, taking part in tattoo conventions throughout the year. This combination of a carefully considered studio environment, a roster of skilled resident artists, and ongoing involvement in the wider tattoo community reflects a genuine commitment to quality that has defined the studio since it first opened its doors.
