Red's Tattoo Parlour Ltd

Red's Tattoo Parlour is a friendly, professional tattoo studio on Colchester High Street, led by award-winning artist Sonya Trusty. The team offers custom tattoo design, cover-up work, black and grey pieces, colour tattoos, body piercing, laser tattoo removal and permanent makeup, serving clients across Colchester, Wivenhoe, Lexden, Stanway, Mersea Island and the surrounding areas. Whether someone arrives with a picture in mind or wants a fully bespoke design, the studio welcomes a chat to talk through ideas before anything is booked.

Every consultation is built around the individual, the chosen placement and how the tattoo will look in the long run. Staff take time to explain what will genuinely work on the skin, offering honest advice on cover-up possibilities or laser fading so clients can plan their next step with confidence. Alongside custom tattooing, the studio provides walk-in body piercing and cosmetic tattooing services. Open Tuesday through Sunday, this Colchester studio combines technical skill with a relaxed, approachable atmosphere for anyone exploring new ink, piercings or tattoo removal.
