Dark Gothic Tattoo Shop Logo

I need a striking logo that captures the brooding, gothic personality of my tattoo studio. The overall mood should feel dark and dramatic—think ornate curves, sharp edges, and an atmosphere that instantly tells customers they are walking into a place where bold, permanent art happens.

While the style itself must stay firmly in the gothic realm, I’m flexible about the exact visual focus and colour treatment. You can lean into a pure black-and-grey scheme, weave in deep reds or purples, or even combine the shop name with an evocative symbol such as a skull, dagger, or raven. I’m happy to be guided by what you believe will translate best across signage, merchandise, and social media avatars.

Deliverables
• Primary logo in vector format (AI/SVG)
• High-resolution PNGs with transparent background
• Simplified single-colour version for stamps and merch
• A brief style guide noting fonts and colour codes

Acceptance Criteria
• Clearly readable at small sizes without losing gothic detail
• Works in both full colour and monotone applications
• Supplied files are 100 % vector and layered

Send through a short note on your concept approach and a portfolio sample of similar dark or gothic branding you’ve handled. Looking forward to collaborating on a mark that does our ink justice.
