# Art La Vey Private Tattoo Studio
Art La Vey is an appointment-only, private tattoo studio in Stanley, County Durham, operated by Paul and Faye LaVey. The studio specialises in bespoke tattoo design and execution across colour realism, black and grey work, and blackwork styles, serving clients seeking custom, high-quality body art in an intimate setting.
Paul LaVey brings multi-award-winning expertise recognised across the UK and India, with particular distinction as a Lucasfilm Ltd-licensed artist following work at Star Wars Celebration London. He holds one of only two European licenses for official Halloween franchise designs. His professional standing is reinforced through partnerships with industry leaders including Tatsoul, Critical Tattoo Supply, and Eternal Ink, plus positions within the BarberDTS Pro Team and Ink Fusion Empire.
Faye LaVey, the other European Halloween franchise licensee, specialises in black and grey portraiture and blackwork, drawing on her background as a realistic portrait artist. Together, they offer over 20 years of combined experience.
The studio stands apart through its official licensing for iconic franchises—Halloween and Star Wars—enabling clients to obtain officially recognised designs unavailable elsewhere. The private, family-run environment provides a relaxed, professional atmosphere contrasting with typical studio settings. Their award-winning artistry, specialisation in detailed realism and precision blackwork, combined with access to exclusive licensed designs, positions Art La Vey for clientele seeking both exceptional technical skill and unique, authenticated creative work.
