Collective Tattoo Studio has a long history. It was originally established as Satori Tattoo Studio by Thomas Wells in 2012. In early 2019, the studio moved from just outside Derby city centre to a more central location, and it was renamed Collective in homage to the spirit of collective creation the artists felt while working together. Over the years, Collective has hosted many talented artists. Some have joined us from other locations, but many are homegrown talents, trained right here at the studio. The current team boasts several decades of combined tattoo experience and a profound passion for the craft. Each artist relentlessly pursues perfection in their art, continually inspired and directed by their clients.




We can guarantee our artists will care about your tattoo as much, if not more, than you do!
Our artists are real people who will treat you as a real person, not with a frosty, formal 'customer service' persona. Expect friendly authenticity from the moment you meet them.
Our prices are competitive. Currently, many tattoo artists in the industry charge exorbitant rates. However, you'll find our rates to be among the most reasonable in the city for some of the highest quality work available.
