# Twin Ink
Twin Ink is a bespoke tattoo studio in Leigh run by husband-and-wife team Kathryn and David Swann. Operating by appointment only, they specialise in realism tattoos across black and grey, colour pop, and glitter finishes.
What sets Twin Ink apart is the artists' exceptional background in fine art. Before transitioning to tattooing, Kathryn and David ran a successful portrait business, later launching a hand-painted bridal shoe company that won 'The Best Shoe Designer Worldwide' in the 2013 Wedding Industry Experts Awards. Kathryn also worked as a soft toy designer. This deep foundation in traditional artistry directly translates into their tattoo work, elevating their technical precision and creative vision beyond typical studio offerings.
The studio serves clients seeking custom, narrative tattoos rather than flash designs. Kathryn excels with nature-themed pieces, florals, animals, Gothic designs, and fantasy/sci-fi imagery. David focuses on movie and TV culture, sci-fi, action, fantasy, space themes, and galaxy influences. Both artists thrive on bespoke projects where clients bring concepts and ideas to life.
Their appointment-only model ensures dedicated, personalised attention to each client. Operating Monday to Friday 10am–5.30pm and Saturdays 10am–5.30pm (Sundays by arrangement), Twin Ink attracts discerning clientele who value artistic integrity and custom work over convenience. This is tattooing as fine art, delivered by formally trained artists with proven expertise.
