# The Rookery Tattoo Studio
The Rookery Tattoo Studio is a professional tattoo studio located in Galashiels, Scottish Borders, dedicated to creating high-quality, bespoke body art. The studio serves clients throughout the Scottish Borders and beyond who are seeking meaningful, timeless tattoos created by experienced artists with distinct artistic styles.
The studio distinguishes itself through its collaborative approach to design. Rather than simply executing pre-drawn designs, each of the six resident artists works directly with clients to develop personalised pieces that reflect both the client's vision and the artist's professional expertise. This partnership ensures that every tattoo is unique and carefully considered. Clients are encouraged to select an artist whose style aligns with their aesthetic preferences, whether they favour realism, traditional work, or contemporary designs.
The team comprises Kelly Cormack, Johanne Hastie, Megan Dewar, Alan Ross, Alex Brown, and another artist, each maintaining their own Instagram portfolios showcasing their distinctive approaches. This diversity means clients can find an artist suited to their specific requirements and artistic sensibilities.
Operating Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 6pm, with Saturday hours extending to "Tequila time," the studio maintains a welcoming atmosphere whilst demonstrating professionalism in its craft. The Rookery positions itself as creating "timeless tattoos that will travel with you through life"—emphasising permanence, quality, and thoughtful design over trend-chasing.
