Skilled and passionate tattooists in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Simon "Cookie" Cooke

Hi there, I'm Simon Cooke, or as I'm known to most, ‘Cookie’. I'm a self-taught tattoo artist who likes to specialise in full colour work. I can do black and grey tattoos too, but it's not my preference. In my time as a tattoo artist, I have won over 40 awards both here in the UK and internationally in Europe and the USA.

I love doing large-scale colour work in most styles including realistic, illustration, graphic and surrealism. Colour is definitely my thing!

I was also featured on TV a couple of years ago on a show called ‘Tattoo Artist of the Year’ which was shown on E4. I made it all the way to the final out of 10 competing artists.

I love to work at and visit tattoo conventions as they bring me inspiration to do more cool stuff!

Nick Cammillare

Hi, I’m Nick and I have been working here at The Ink Spot for around 5 years. I have roughly 11 years of tattooing experience.

I prefer to work on multicolour ‘new skool’ styles but can work in any style including grey shade and Japanese designs. I love pop culture style artwork such as old comic book images and retro 80s tv shows like Teenage Mutant ninja Turtles, ThunderCats etc.

Vikki Cooke

Hi, I’m Vikki and although I’m not an artist, I am responsible for the day-to-day running of the shop.

You will all talk to me at some point as I take all the calls for appointments and control the diaries for our artists.

I will do my best to make sure all of our clients get the appointments that they require. I will always try to squeeze people in!
