Welcome...
Welcome to the website of Leigh Oldcorn and the team at Cosmic Tattoo. Cosmic Tattoo has been established in Colchester since 1998,and in that time we've gone from strength to strength, gaining national and international recognition for the quality of our work with numerous awards and magazine features to our credit.
We feel we have everything it takes to turn your dream into reality, from a simple butterfly to a full custom body suit, we want you to have a tattoo that you can be proud of. We have literally thousands of designs to choose from, or maybe you want a tattoo that no-one else has, here at Cosmic Tattoo this isn't a problem, we have the artistry to turn your idea into a work of art. No job is too big or small, and each tattoo receives our total dedication.
We are extremely proud of the work we produce here at Cosmic, and hope you enjoy browsing our photo galleries.The photos are there to show you what we are capable of when looking for a tattoo studio to do your next tattoo.However, please refrain from copying images from the gallery to get a direct copy done, as much of the work featured is one off work, and its naff to rip off someone elses tattoo! Get us to do something original for you, its so much cooler!
Got a tattoo done somewhere else and youre not happy with it? Then pop in and see us,dont worry, maybe we can sort it out or you and save the day!
If you prefer to be tattooed by a female tattooist, its time to book in with Pinky, our resident female artist!
