Custom tattoos and piercing, designed with precision
Avenixor Tattoo Studio is a modern studio in Waterloo, London, offering custom tattoos, piercing, temporary designs, and commissioned art. Expect a clear consultation, a sterile setup, and an aftercare plan that matches the work.
What we do at Avenixor
Tattooing and piercing look simple from the outside—until you start making decisions that affect how the work sits on skin for years. Our studio focuses on the unglamorous parts that protect results: stencil fit, consistent line weight, controlled packing, and a sensible approach to placement so the piece reads well in motion. For custom tattoos, we treat the consult as a design brief: subject, style references, negative space, and how the piece will age. That’s where most of the quality is decided.
Piercing is handled with the same discipline. Jewellery selection and sizing matter as much as the needle. We talk through irritation risk, realistic healing windows by placement, and what “normal” looks like during the first weeks so clients don’t guess. Temporary tattoos and commissioned artwork are also available for anyone who wants to test scale and placement, build a concept, or commission a standalone illustration.
If you arrive with a fully formed idea, we’ll refine it. If you arrive with a loose mood board, we’ll methodically translate it into something that works on the body and holds up over time.
Custom design that fits the body
We build designs around placement, movement, and readability. Expect reference gathering, a clean stencil plan, and small structural decisions—like line hierarchy and negative space—that keep the tattoo legible as it settles.
- Placement and scale guidance before committing
- Style alignment: fine line, blackwork, realism
- Aftercare instructions matched to the work
Sterile routine and tidy workflow
Our setup prioritises consistent station prep and careful surface control so the focus stays on the work, not the room.
Booking built around time blocks
We plan sessions by complexity and placement. That reduces rushed finishes and helps healing stay predictable.
Piercing with practical aftercare
We cover jewellery fit, cleaning routine, and what to expect during the irritation phase. Healing timelines are discussed in plain language so you can plan around work, sport, and travel.
Temporary tattoos and art
Try a layout before committing, or commission a piece that stands on its own outside the tattoo format.
How booking works
The goal is simple: a clear plan before any work starts. We keep the process light, but specific—concept, placement, time block, and aftercare. You can request a consultation online, call the studio, or visit the Contact page for directions and hours.

Client feedback and recent outcomes
The best feedback is specific: how the stencil fit, whether the session pace felt calm, and how the piece looked after the first clean heal. Below are two short case notes and a few client quotes we’ve collected from direct studio conversations.
Case note: fine line forearm piece
Problem: the client had a detailed reference but wanted it simplified so it wouldn’t blur into a grey patch over time. Approach: we rebuilt the design with a clear line hierarchy, kept breathing room around the focal shapes, and adjusted placement to sit cleanly on the outer forearm. Outcome: the healed piece remained readable, and the client returned for a second session to extend the concept.
Case note: piercing placement check
Problem: the client was unsure about jewellery size and worried about irritation during commuting and headphones use. Approach: we confirmed anatomy suitability, selected a fit that allowed swelling room, and outlined a simple saline routine with clear “do not” rules. Outcome: healing stayed stable, and follow-up notes focused on reducing friction rather than switching products.
“The consult was structured and calm. We agreed on size and placement in minutes, then spent time on line weight so it would age well. Aftercare was clear and practical, and the piece healed exactly as described.”
“I appreciated the hygiene routine being visible and consistent. No theatrics, just a tidy station and clear explanations. The artist adjusted the stencil twice until it sat naturally with how my arm moves.”
“For piercing, the guidance around healing windows and irritation triggers was the most helpful part. The follow-up message clarified what was normal and stopped me from over-cleaning.”
