Hi! My name's Johnny and I'm here to slap cool pictures on your body to make you look cooler than you already are - which is probably pretty cool since you're here on my website!

I'm an experienced and friendly Tattooer working out of a registered, clean & sterile High Street shop-front studio in Farnborough, Hampshire. Quality work delivered with a smile and good conversation. I specialise in traditional tattoos but I will happily do most styles. 

I  tattoo in the classic manner, with time-proven techniques and inks that have been around a long time and we know are safe and strong and will look good for years to come. I only use the finest quality needles, tubes and ointments available on the market and can proudly guarantee that it is all 100% vegan safe and of the highest quality. All my personal traditional flash is fully custom and hand-painted - tattooing is an ancient craft and I feel deserves the time and dedication to the art to ensure tattoos look their best...from the pencil to the skin, and forever.

I tattoo 5-6 days a week, Monday to Saturday, but answer messages as they come in. Bookings are always on a first-come, first-served basis - but bribes of cool art, vegan cookies or good quality tequila defintely wouldn't hurt your case either haha!

If you want to get in touch to discuss a booking, there is a contact box down at the bottom of this page or you can message me on Instagram for a faster response @swearjartattoos. Booking enquires are answered until 8pm.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Johnny 'SwearJar' Somersett

** Unlike a lot of other tattooers, I do not work on an hourly rate. Once you have told me what, where and how big the tattoo you are wanting is I will give you a range estimate ("£130-£160" for instance) and then the price is fixed unless the design massively deviates or changes size a lot. I find this the fairest way for clients and myself as then there are no hidden surprises.

I do, however, run a flat day-rate of £400-500 depending on the content of the session. This is a 10am-4pm block booking where we can either do one large piece or several smaller ones. The price will be decided before the session while we chat about the plan and then it is set and capped **
