About Markings Tattoos
Custom tattoo studio in Hessle, East Yorkshire
Meet Marcus Kingsland
Markings Tattoos was founded by Marcus Kingsland, a passionate tattoo artist whose journey began in 2018. What started as a personal fascination with the art of tattooing quickly evolved into a dedication to creating meaningful, bespoke designs that reflect each client's individuality.
Marcus specialises in black and grey custom tattoo work, drawing inspiration from realism, nature, and the stories his clients bring to the studio. Every piece is designed from scratch — no templates, no shortcuts — just carefully crafted artwork tailored to you.
Our Studio
Located inside Beautique (Beauty and Aesthetics Clinic) at 2 Ferriby Road, Hessle, HU13 0PG, Markings Tattoos offers a private, calm environment that's a world away from the typical high street tattoo shop. Our studio is designed to make you feel comfortable and relaxed from the moment you walk through the door.

That's why we take the time to understand your ideas, offer honest advice, and work with you through every step of the design process.
