The staff down at the Fish Salon in Soho has always loved a bit of ink. Many of our clients are also big fans of tattoos to complement a rocking cut. So, what’s a better place than Soho to put needle to skin?

We have listed six of our faves - each of them offering different styles from old skool to new skool.

As you probably know, good tattooists, like good hairdressers, get pretty booked up so check availability beforehand.

If you fancy one of our Fish style tips to complement some vintage ink, then go and check out ‘The McGregor’ in our ‘Get the Look’ section.
