Free tattoos for Londoners

SOUTH CITY MARKET, a South London tattoo studio is celebrating its first birthday by inking Londoners for FREE on the 27th October in what is being dubbed as London’s first-ever free flash day.

Ricky Williams, owner of the New Cross based studio usually charges over £150 per hour and has a waiting list over two years.

Ricky will be joined by his team of fellow artists who specialise in black and grey tattoos. Artists include Luke Ashely, Loz Mclean, Peter Laeviv and Jessica Rubbish. You can find the full line up of artists below.

South City Market first opened its doors in 2018. The studio has quickly become a firm favourite amongst celebrity’s and the public alike.

Over the past few years, an exciting new world of contemporary tattooing has entered the scene. Gone are the days when ink was reserved for sailors and bikers. Now tattooing is considered an art form and South City Market is leading the way.

Ricky Williams, owner of South City market said: “For our first birthday we wanted to give something back to our amazing and loyal followers and customers. This whole year has been so great and we couldn’t have done it without the continued support and love from our wonderful client base.

“We’ll be opening our doors for the whole day and all tattoos will be completely free of charge. Our artists will have made up extensive pre-drawn flash sheets for people to choose from and there’ll be many different styles available.

“Come down, celebrate with us, enjoy the space and leave with a new tattoo! Many of our artists are fully booked for years, so this might be your last chance to get tattooed by them for a while.”
