The art of tattooing has been around for thousands of years, however, it has only been in the last few decades that it has become a mainstream form of body art. Tattooing is no longer just the preserve of sailors and bikers, and there is now a thriving community of tattoo artists who are pushing the boundaries of art and design. Scotland is no exception to this, and the country boasts a wealth of talented female tattoo artists who are making a name for themselves in the industry.
