Our Story

Black Galleon Tattoo is a proudly independent, licensed studio located in the heart of historic King’s Lynn. Since opening its doors in early 2014, the bricks and mortar may have changed a few times but the spirit hasn’t.

The studio has earned a strong local reputation for high-quality, artistic tattooing and a genuine commitment to client care.

Founded by artist Mike Harper, who has been tattooing professionally since 2005, Black Galleon is rooted in a dedication to bold, clean, and timeless work. Every piece is approached with precision, creativity, and deep respect for the history of the craft.

The studio offers a calm, professional, inclusive, and hygienic environment—welcoming both first-time clients and seasoned collectors alike. From initial consultation to aftercare, the focus is always on providing a comfortable and personal experience.

Today, Black Galleon Tattoo continues to evolve, offering not only custom tattooing but also laser tattoo removal through Legacy Laser. Whether you're looking to remove a tattoo completely or prepare the area for a future cover-up, you'll be supported and looked after every step of the way.
