The artist
Hi, I'm Dara
I'm a tattoo artist based in Birmingham, UK, working across blackwork, fine line, illustrative and lettering. I take on custom pieces of all sizes — from first tattoos to long-term projects.
Every design is drawn for one person and one body. Book in, tell me the idea, and we'll shape it together before a needle touches skin. Clean, licensed, single-use setup every time.
Books are currently open. Send an enquiry below or a DM on Instagram to get started.
What I do
Styles
Blackwork
Bold black, solid fills, high contrast. Ornamental and graphic pieces that age well.
Fine line
Delicate single-needle line work — florals, script, small symbolic tattoos.
Illustrative
Drawn like an illustration: linework, stippled shading, storybook detail.
Lettering
Custom script and type — quotes, names, dates, one-off hand-drawn wordmarks.

FAQ
How do I book?
Fill in the enquiry form below with your idea, rough size and placement, and a couple of reference images if you have them. I'll reply by email or Instagram DM with availability, a rough price and next steps.
How do I know I'm talking to the real you?
Scam accounts have copied this brand on Instagram and TikTok before. The only genuine contact points are this website (cryordiebaby.com) and @cryordiebabytattoo on both Instagram and TikTok. I will never ask you to pay by bank transfer, gift card, cryptocurrency or a "friends & family" payment, and I never ask for money just to "confirm" or "unlock" a booking. If anyone claiming to be me does that, it's a scammer — don't pay, and message me here.
Is there a deposit?
Yes — a deposit is required to hold your appointment and comes off the final price of the tattoo. Deposits are non-refundable but can be moved once if you give enough notice. You'll be told the exact amount and the one legitimate way to pay it when your date is offered — and it is never by bank transfer. (Placeholder — confirm your exact deposit amount, terms and payment method.)
How much will it cost?
Small pieces are charged at a set minimum; larger work is priced by the session or by the piece. I'll always give you an estimate before you commit. (Placeholder — add your day rate / minimum.)
Do you tattoo under-18s?
No. You must be 18 or over and bring a valid photo ID to your appointment, no exceptions.
Where is the studio?
I work from a private studio in Birmingham, UK. The full address and directions are sent once your appointment is confirmed. (Placeholder — add studio name / area.)
How should I prepare and look after it?
Come well-rested, fed and hydrated, wear comfortable clothes that give access to the area, and don't drink alcohol the night before. Full aftercare instructions are given on the day and sent to you in writing.
