Silk Touch Tattoos Welcome to Silk Touch Tattoos. I am a Fine Line Tattoo Artist based in a private home studio in Colchester, Essex.

I offer a personalised, holistic service in a calm, cosy environment. My name is Shannon, and I'm a Fine Line Tattoo Artist based in a private 1:1 home studio in Colchester. I specialise in Fine Line Tattoos, which means delicate designs that are executed with precision and care. The calm, minimalist space has been built to make every client feel comfortable and confident. Whether it’s your first tattoo or an addition to your collection, I take pride in delivering clean, detailed, and beautifully balanced work that feels as personal as it looks.

They always say it’s the things you don’t do that you end up regretting the most. I know I’m not the only one that believes in this 🤍

✨ Life is too short to keep putting off the little things that make you happy and it’s certainly too short to have regrets.

✨ Your tattoos don’t need to mean something to anyone else. They don’t even need to mean anything to you! If you like it and it makes you happy, that’s all that matters.

🎀 A little piece of your heart, forever with you.

✨ There’s nothing more special than carrying a little reminder of the people who mean the most to you, wherever you go. 🤍

WE’RE OPEN ✨

Had such a lovely time being back in the studio - didn’t realise how much I’d missed it. Being a Mum is the best job in the world, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy the little break.
We kicked off the day with the sweetest little sparkles. Simple, delicate and feminine 🤍 ✨

🕰️ I now have limited availability left for October - drop me a DM with your enquiries to grab the last slots left!

✨ WELCOME!

After gaining some new followers I thought it’d be a good time to re-introduce myself so you get to know the face behind it all (sorry! 🤪)

🤍 I’m Shannon, wife of 5 years and Mum of now 2 beautiful boys. I’ve worked in the NHS for over 12 years, and am currently in my 5th year of university studying gynae ultrasound. I’m incredibly lucky to genuinely love my job 💙

🤍 But… I’ve always had a passion for drawing, painting and body art, so took the leap to train in fine line tattooing. I opened Silk Touch Tattoos just under a year ago and have since loved every minute.

🤍 I have met the most incredible souls and love to hear the stories behind the tattoo, whether it be a deep rooted personal message, or because you love coffee and bee keeping (see relevant tattoo on the grid 😅)

🤍 After a short break I’m super excited for the studio to be up and running again. My diary officially opens on the 27/9/26 for October and November bookings.

✨ So… drop me a message if you’re ready to pay a visit 🤍

💭 The saying ‘there’s never a right time’ doesn’t stand any relevance when it comes to tattoos.

Instead, there’s always a right time.
✨ There is always a right time to decorate your body.
✨ There is always a right time to do what makes you happy.
✨ There is always a right time to do something just for you.

Now what are you waiting for?

Books open 27/9/26.
DMs open to discuss and bring your vision to life ✨

🤍 Consider this your sign to get the tattoo.
That tattoo you’ve been thinking about for years, but keep finding excuses…

🤍 “I’ll get it when I feel more confident.”
But what if the tattoo isn’t something you need to wait until you feel confident for?
What if it’s part of the reason you become more confident?

🤍Maybe you’ve been waiting for the “right time”.
But there will always be a reason to wait.
Work.
Money.
A wedding.
Sometimes you just need to bite the bullet!

🤍“What if I regret it?”
You’ve probably spent months — maybe years — thinking about it.
Saving inspiration.
Changing the placement.
Imagining how it would look.
If you keep coming back to the same idea…
maybe it means something to you.

🤍“I don’t think I could pull it off.”
You don’t need to look a certain way to have beautiful tattoos.
You don’t need to have the “perfect” body.
You don’t need to be a certain age.
You don’t need anyone else’s permission.

🤍 Your body is yours.
Your tattoo doesn’t need to make sense to anyone else.
It can be delicate.
Meaningful.
Minimal.
Completely for you.
You’re allowed to take up space and decorate the body you’re in.

🤍 And you don’t have to know exactly what you want.
That’s what I’m here for.
We can talk through your ideas, meaning, placement and style together — and create something that feels like you.
No pressure.
No judgement.
Just a tattoo designed around you.

🤍 So consider this your sign!
🤍 DMs open to discuss your designs.
🤍 Books re-opening soon 💫

📍Cornwall

🌸🌊 Freshly healed and off for its first adventure.

☀️ There’s something special about seeing a piece fully settled into the skin, especially with a backdrop like the Cornish coast. — I can’t wait to create more pieces like this.
Booked currently closed but waiting lists available.
