Spike at the art is an award winning custom tattoo & body piercing studio owned and run by Mike Hicks and Julia Gray situated in Plympton, Plymouth. With all original artwork and individual designs we strive to provide the best tattoos in the area. We work with out customers over a period of time to create the images they have visualised on their skin. The work carried out is done without hurry or attitude in an ambient chilled out environment.
