Ink Asylum —
Tattoo Studio
A bold, immersive brand identity and website for a premium tattoo studio that wanted to own the luxury end of a crowded market.
A bold, immersive brand identity and website for a premium tattoo studio that wanted to own the luxury end of a crowded market.
The tattoo industry is saturated with dark aesthetics, skull imagery, and gothic typography. Ink Asylum's artists were producing work that rivalled studios in London and Berlin — but their brand looked exactly like every other local competitor.
The studio's founder had a clear vision: position Ink Asylum as a fine-art destination, not a tattoo parlour. Clients booking large-scale, high-commitment pieces needed to feel they were investing in art, not just getting a tattoo. The brand and website needed to carry that weight.
The brief: Build an identity and website that attracts international clientele willing to travel for exceptional work — and that commands a premium price without apology.
The repositioning worked beyond expectations. Within two months of launch, the studio was fully booked three months out — and had received inquiries from clients in Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK specifically citing the website as their reason for choosing Ink Asylum over local alternatives.
