Old Trade Tattoo

Old Trade Tattoo is a professional tattoo studio bringing considered, skilled work to the heart of Gloucester. The atmosphere feels rooted in the craft itself — purposeful and welcoming, the kind of place where the work is taken seriously and clients are made to feel at home. Styles like traditional, neo-traditional, and blackwork sit naturally here, reflecting a reverence for tattooing's deeper lineage while leaving room for bold, enduring personal pieces.

Gloucester is one of England's oldest cathedral cities, carrying Roman foundations and medieval character through its streets and docklands. That sense of history runs through the local clientele — people drawn to imagery with weight and meaning, who appreciate craft that lasts. The broader Gloucestershire region, with its market towns and countryside communities, brings a steady mix of visitors alongside locals, all looking for tattooing that honours the tradition of the art form. Old Trade Tattoo sits comfortably within that story.
