A Local Studio That Takes Pride in Every Piece

Jesters Ink Tattoo & Laser has been part of Pemberton since 2007, and we’ve built our name on doing things properly — from the first chat and design choices, right through to the finished tattoo and aftercare advice. Whether you’re coming in for a small first piece or something bigger and bespoke, you’ll get straight-up guidance, honest expectations, and work that’s done with care.

Tattooing is carried out by Anthony Tickle, known for strong black & grey / shade work, alongside colour tattoos, lettering, sports badges and custom designs. We also offer piercings, laser tattoo removal, and SPMU removal, all from our clean, professional studio in Wigan.

We’re fully health registered, hygiene is non-negotiable, and we only use single-use, pre-packed, pre-sterilised needles and tubes, opened in front of you for peace of mind. If you’re ready to talk ideas, bring your inspiration in — we’ll help shape it into something you’ll be proud to wear for life.
