The artist

Meet Krish

Divine Arts is run by Krish (Anandan Krishna), a tattoo artist who brought his craft from Trivandrum, Kerala to a studio on Turner Road in Walthamstow. His hand shows in the fine detail: clean line work, deep black-and-grey shading and lettering in Latin and Malayalam script.

Regulars describe the same thing again and again: a careful, professional artist with a calm energy, honest pricing, and a clean, hygienic space. First tattoo or your tenth, you get his full attention from the first sketch to the last wipe.

Before you book

Good to know

How do I book a tattoo?
Message Krish on WhatsApp or call the studio with your idea, rough size and placement, and a reference photo if you have one. He'll talk it through, agree a design and price, and book you a time.
How much does a tattoo cost?
Every tattoo is priced individually by design, size, detail and placement, so the fairest way is to send your idea and get a quote back before anything is booked. Reviewers consistently mention fair, reasonable pricing for the quality of work.
Do you do fine line, lettering and cover-ups?
Yes. Krish works across black-and-grey realism, fine line, colour, lettering in Latin and Malayalam script, and larger pieces. Cover-ups and reworks can be discussed when you send a photo of the existing tattoo.
Do you do piercings too?
Yes, ear and body piercings are done in the studio in a clean, calm setting, with help on placement, jewellery sizing and aftercare. Reviewers have brought first-timers and children for ear piercings.
What are the studio hours?
Monday 11:00 to 22:00, Tuesday to Friday 19:30 to 23:00, Sunday 12:30 to 21:00, closed Saturday. Appointments are recommended, so message ahead rather than turning up.
Is there an age limit or ID needed?
In the UK you must be 18 or over to be tattooed, with photo ID. Please confirm any age and ID requirements for piercings with the studio when you book.
