2024 Edition
This year has ben a wild ride for us and everything tattoo related!! Here’s what has happened in the last year and a peak at what’s to come in 2025!...
Welcome to our yearly recap of all things Enigma Studio’s and our tattoo community!
In this newsletter we’ve put together the best bits of the last year and are giving you guys a behind the scenes for 2025, which will be even better than this, absolute banger of a year!
None of this could be possible without your support and following, so from the bottom of our hearts, Thank you!
We truly feel blessed by how many of you are involved with this wonderful community we have created. Whether it's been at weddings, festivals or right here in our epic studio HQ we thank you all for the constant recommendations and amazing feedback!

Just Tattoo of us!
Just in time for valentine’s day, we dropped our ‘Just Tatt-2 of us’ experience. Couples and besties came in and choose a design for each other, blindfolded, until the big end reveal!
Although it was not for the faint hearted, this experience turned out to be absolutely. heart warming as so many couples got involved and everyone chose meaningful and beautiful ideas for their partners!
We are thinking we should repeat this all year round!
Krush FM
This year we had the chance to have our own podcast on Krush FM, in which we got to talk about all things Enigmatic, festivals, weddings studios and tattoos in general! We spoke to you guys live on air and answered all of your questions and queries. Sharing our quirky, funny and random stories live on the radio and it was so much fun!
Festivals
2024's Festival season was absolutely bonkers! We got the chance to tattoo you at sooo many Pride festivals as well as Secret Garden Party, Volksfest and Zo’s personal favourite (because of the duck loaded fries she ate every night) Dubs in the Middle!
Next year you can expect to see us again at Cheltenham 7's, anything Pride or Volkswagen, along with a few new appearances.... and.... you heard it here first- we have a BRAND NEW FESTIVAL STUDIO SET UP!!!!!
Weddings
WOW, this year’s weddings have been crazy! And we count our blessings every time we get to be apart of a happy couple’s big day and help create memories that last a lifetime.
From small intimate weddings, to massive 4 day celebrations with surprise apperances from Ed Sheeran (yes that really happened) we really do love getting to celebrate your love and adoration for each other in our favourite way.. Tattoooooosssss!!
Congratulations to all our newly weds!
New Team Members
This year, we got to say welcome to some pretty cool people (If I do say so myself ... Yes I am writing this about myself- Jess x
You may know me as the girl that answers your messages, but if you didn’t know I am also a pretty cool piercer too!
And then we have Sam, he is our tattoo apprentice. Sam has created some awesome pieces so far and is eager to create more next year! He is also a kickass DJ in his spare time!
The launch of EPA
2024 enabled us to launch the Enigma Piercing Academy (EPA) to help kick start the careers of piercers all over the country.
With all included certifications as well as training equipment, hands on training in the studio and referral discounts to our favourite suppliers, exclusive to EPA, to kick start your own piercing buisness once graduating the course. If you’d like to be a part of EPA just drop us a message now!
Permanent Jewellery
If you don’t follow us on social media (what are you doing?!) you will have seen thanks to Jess, we have just launched our permanent jewellery range!
Permanent jewellery are pieces that are welded directly together so, don’t close with your standard jewellery chain, hence making them by all intents and purposes permanent to the wearer.
Ear Curations
2024 was the year we got to introduce full ear curations/styling to Enigma HQ, and it went down a storm!
Ear curation is the art of expressing yourself fully by creating a whole ‘outfit’ for your ear! With the help of Jess our curation expert you can now find what piercings fit your anatomy perfectly and also style them in a cohesive way that truly shows your personality! whether you want elegance, industrial or minimalist Jess has a way, to get it spot on for you.
Team Highlights:
Steph
“This year has been about Growth. Growth of our business and brand, growth of our amazing team and above all personal growth of you, the clients. I see this in personal transformations and confidence gains with every new tattoo project completed. whether that is to signify a change in life or a new era of you.... keep shining guys!”
Alex

“We are at the end of another year already?!
I genuinely don’t think I could pick my favourite part of year, the festivals are great fun but so is getting to create special pieces in the studio so I don’t think I can pick just one highlight”
Zoe
(@zo.piskie)
“2024 has been full of so many great memories! getting to create such beautiful and meaningful artwork everyday for you all is probably one of my favourite parts of the work I get to do.
That and the amazing food at the festivals... especially the duck loaded fries.”
Jess
(@jess.enigma_)
“I haven’t been part of the team long, but since starting here it has been a blast.
I have been able to add some sparkle to so many of you whether thats through a new piercing, a full ear curation or even our new permanent jewellery! I have loved every minute of my short time here so far... I cant wait to see what next year has to offer”
Sam
(@rustitats)
“Like Jess, I haven’t been here long, but since starting my apprenticeship here I am so excited for festival season next year!
Getting to put my creative side to work everyday and being trusted by so many of you to bring your ideas to life has truly been a blessing and I couldn’t ask for a better job.”
Goodbyes :(
Whilst we had some exciting new team members join us this year, we also had some sad
goodbyes.
Many of you will remember Mollie and Amy, our sassy receptionist and our kickass piercer.
They will be missed whilst they pursue the next stages of their new careers.
