Diamond Jacks: 30 Years of London Tattoo Legend

Our Journey: From Soho to Covent Garden

The Beginning (1996): Diamond Jacks was established in the legendary Walkers Court, Soho, by Ian Kaye.

The Darryl Gates Era (2003): After apprenticing under Ian Kaye, Darryl Gates took over the studio, bringing his passion for lowbrow Americana and Traditional Japanese styles to the forefront.

The Anniversary (2026): We are now celebrating our 30th Anniversary by moving to our new private sanctuary in historic Covent Garden.

Why Diamond Jacks is World-Famous

Expert Artists: Our team, led by Darryl Gates and George, has decades of experience in classic, bold tattooing.

Custom Mastery: We specialize in one-of-a-kind designs—from classic eagles and roses to intricate Asian styles—specifically devised for longevity.

A Professional Sanctuary: We were the first licensed studio in Westminster (1985) and continue to lead with the highest safety and hygiene standards.

A Relaxed Vibe: Our studio is a destination for locals and world travelers seeking an authentic, friendly, and “extremely cool” old-school experience.
