Our Artists: Scars Under The Ink
Searching for the best tattoo shops in Tameside has to offer? This is Symone’s second profile dedicated to scar cover ups. Read more below.
Artist Bio
Welcome! 
I’m Symone, a tattoo artist with 6 years of experience and the proud owner of Ashton Ink Tattoo Studio, one of the most renowned tattoo shops in Tameside. After dedicating over 3 years to learning about scars and specialising in cover-ups, I provide monthly free cover-ups for those in need.
Recognising the gap in available services for scar cover-ups and the discomfort many feel approaching artists, I started this initiative to support my community and enhance my skills. Each cover-up I complete brings me closer to my goal of helping as many people as possible.
With the guidance of journalist @Meganl.bond, I’ll be sharing client experiences through the Under The Ink Podcast, while this profile focuses solely on scar cover-ups. Expect to see before and afters, testimonials, podcast snippets, fundraising events, and education on the psychological impacts of scar tattooing.

Some of Symone's scar cover up feedback
As soon as I saw Symone’s profile online, I knew she was the person I wanted to custom design a tattoo for me. I have wanted my scars covered for years but it was important to me to have them covered by someone I knew I could trust.
The experience itself was great – the most positive tattoo experience I’ve had – so much so that I can’t see myself wanting to have a tattoo done with anyone else. My tattoo healed with zero issues.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Symone for a scar cover-up tattoo, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and results. From the moment I stepped into the studio, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and filled with positive energy. Symone is not only a fantastic artist but also genuinely kind and attentive, making sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. Thanks to Symone’s work, I feel so much more confident, and I’m truly grateful for the entire experience!
