Nestled within the historical alleyways of Oswestry, you will find us at BLACK NUMBER ONE. A private tattoo studio and artists space, residing in a 16th century Grade II listed coach house.

Main artist and owner / Nansi Nansi
Apprentice / Anna Robson

Nansi has been tattooing fineline and microrealism since 2017 after a ten year career as an award winning graphic designer. When she isn't travelling internationally for guest appearances or teaching, she can be found working here on various art projects; including graphics, commissioned artwork and tattooing.

Her books are currently open for ideas suiting her own style and progression whilst she prepares for her next big adventure commencing November 2026.

Anna, a southern soul who moved to the area at the end of 2020, has been chasing the dream of tattooing since leaving college back in 2012. After years of bringing designs to life as a freelance graphic designer along with teaching graphics and Photoshop to students of all ages, she’s finally traded in the classroom for the tattoo studio.

There's always something creative going on in our beautiful and historical studio and we welcome you to enquire for more information.
