    A trusted studio in the heart of Dundee

    Metalurgey occupies a central spot on Dock Street in Dundee, just steps from the waterfront and the city’s main shopping and cultural areas. Housed in a modern urban building, the studio is easy to reach on foot and blends into the city’s contemporary streetscape. Inside, the space is clean, well-lit and deliberately uncluttered, with a focus on hygiene and professionalism. The atmosphere is calm and approachable, designed to put clients at ease whether they’re getting their first piercing or a detailed custom tattoo.

    Artistry and services under one roof

    The studio specialises in three core services: bespoke tattooing, professional body piercing, and laser tattoo removal. Tattoo artists work closely with clients to create original designs tailored to individual style and meaning, using modern equipment and techniques. Piercing is performed with high-quality jewellery from trusted brands, and the team provides clear aftercare guidance to support healing. For those looking to remove or cover old tattoos, laser removal is offered with a focus on safety and effectiveness, making Metalurgey a full-service destination for body art.

    A professional, no-nonsense approach

    What sets Metalurgey apart is its emphasis on safety, precision and trust. Everything from the studio layout to the aftercare advice is designed to prioritise client well-being. The team is experienced and transparent, happy to discuss designs, placement, healing times and any concerns in detail. They stock trusted aftercare products and jewellery brands, reinforcing their commitment to quality and long-term results. This practical, professional attitude makes the studio a reliable choice for both simple piercings and complex tattoo projects.

    What to expect during your visit

    Visits are by appointment, so the studio remains calm and focused. When you arrive, you’ll be greeted and taken through the process, whether it’s a consultation, a piercing session or a tattoo appointment. The space is designed to be comfortable but not overly decorative – the focus is on the work, not the decor. After your procedure, you’ll receive clear, written aftercare instructions and ongoing support if any questions arise. The team’s goal is to ensure every client leaves confident in their decision and the care they’ve received.
