Welcome to Good Times Tattoo – Hackney Central's Premier Tattoo Studio

Founded in 2009 by renowned tattoo artist Nikole Lowe, Good Times Tattoo began its journey in the heart of Shoreditch before relocating to Hackney Central in 2022. With over three decades of tattooing experience and a passion for artistic expression, Nikole envisioned a studio that felt more like a creative sanctuary than a typical tattoo shop.

Good Times is home to a diverse team of world-class tattoo artists who share a commitment to craftsmanship, originality, and inclusivity. Whether you're seeking custom Japanese-style tattoos, fine line tattooing, or a bold, colourful sleeve, our artists work closely with each client to create meaningful, high-quality pieces in a calm, welcoming environment.

Inspired by her time on the hit TV series London Ink, Nikole opened Good Times to offer more than just tattoos. Today, the studio also provides Laser Tattoo Removal and Cryotherapy services using state-of-the-art technology,  perfect for those looking to refresh, remove, or rejuvenate.

In addition to tattooing, Good Times doubles as a creative gallery space, showcasing original artwork, prints, and unique pieces by our resident artists – all available for purchase.

Come visit us in East London and experience the Good Times difference – where creativity, community, and exceptional tattooing come together.
