Five specialist tattoo artists under one roof in Worthing. From multi award-winning traditional and large-scale work to micro, anime, ornamental and everything in between. Every tattoo is custom designed specifically for you.
Rick is the driving force behind Broken Puppet Tattoo. A multi award-winning artist with over 20 years of experience and one of the most recognised names in the UK tattoo industry. Known for his signature Traditional X-Ray fusion style, high-impact colour realism and distinctive Gold Drip technique, every piece he creates is built around strong composition and longevity. Beyond the studio he's the creator of the How To Tattoo series, author of the Tattoo Apprentice book, and a YouTube Silver Creator Award holder. Despite the calibre of his work, he's known for being genuinely approachable, especially with first-time clients.
Simon is an award-winning tattoo artist with over 10 years of experience, recognised across the industry for his precision, flow and ability to create work that genuinely becomes part of the body. He took first place in the Decorative category at Brighton Tattoo Convention 2026, the UK's longest running tattoo convention. Particularly celebrated for his ear tattoos, he's established himself as one of the most sought-after artists for this highly technical specialism. His ornamental and black and grey work carries a bold, high-contrast finish that is immediately recognisable as his own.
Zoe brings a completely unique energy to the studio, specialising in anime, gaming and pop culture tattoos that feel authentic rather than just copied. Deeply rooted in nerd culture, from Magic: The Gathering to anime and beyond. She creates pixel tattoos, micro pieces and stipple work that require a level of precision and planning that sets her apart. Her full colour work is bold and character-driven, with a genuine passion for the worlds her clients love. If you want something niche, fandom-based or character-driven done properly, Zoe is the artist for it.
Sarah is a fine line and detailed work specialist with 10 years of experience, known for the kind of precision and care that only comes from someone who takes every piece seriously. Her work spans delicate ornamental elements, vibrant colour pieces and pop culture designs, all executed with a level of control and clarity that makes the finished result genuinely striking. Confident, creative and easy to collaborate with, she's particularly well suited to clients who want a relaxed, supportive experience without compromising on quality. A true perfectionist in the best possible sense.
Chloe trained under Rick Shaw and the Broken Puppet team, and has developed at a pace that marks her out as a natural. Focused on traditional and Japanese tattooing, two of the most technically demanding and enduringly popular styles in the industry. Her motorbike designs in particular are already generating attention well beyond the studio. A dedicated artist who genuinely invests in every piece she creates.
