Christmas at Red Point Tattoo
Christmas at Red Point Tattoo is always a special time of year, and we look forward to welcoming clients who want a Christmas tattoo or a festive visit to the studio. The season brings a sense of celebration, creativity and new beginnings, which fits perfectly with the world of tattooing. We stay busy throughout December because many people choose to treat themselves or their loved ones to a new piece. Our studio in North London becomes a warm and friendly space full of art, conversation and seasonal excitement.
Christmas Opening Times
We are closed for Christmas and New Year from the 24th December until the 2nd January.
Christmas Tattoo Ideas for the Festive Season
Many clients arrive in December with ideas inspired by winter and the holidays. We see classic seasonal themes such as snowflakes, robins, holly and evergreen branches. Some people request detailed Christmas tattoos that link to family traditions. Others prefer modern designs that capture the mood of winter through colour or fine line work. We enjoy creating pieces that suit each client’s story because every tattoo tells something unique.
For example, minimalist snowflakes work well as small first tattoos. Larger pieces may explore winter landscapes with bold shading and vibrant colour. Some clients choose lettering inspired by this time of year. Words like peace, hope or family offer a meaningful reminder that stays relevant long after the holidays. We aim to make every Christmas tattoo feel personal and lasting.
Why December Is a Great Time to Get Tattooed
December is an ideal month for a tattoo. Cooler weather makes aftercare easier because skin stays protected under clothing. Many people also take time off work, which helps them heal without daily commuting or hectic schedules. We always recommend following aftercare instructions carefully because proper treatment protects the lines, colour and detail of the work.
Clients who book a Christmas tattoo often see it as a gift to themselves. They may also view it as a positive start to the new year. A tattoo at this time of year can mark a change, a memory or a personal milestone. At Red Point Tattoo, we guide clients through the design and tattoo process so they feel confident and prepared.
Give the Gift of a Tattoo This Christmas
Many people struggle to find Christmas gifts that feel exciting, personal and lasting. A tattoo gift voucher offers a meaningful alternative because it gives someone the chance to choose their own artwork. Our Red Point Tattoo vouchers are available in £50, £80 or £100 amounts and are valid for six months from the date of purchase. They can be used for tattoos or merchandise. We ask buyers to include the name of the chosen artist and the gift recipient in the checkout notes. Vouchers are non-refundable, so recipients can use them at their convenience and plan their experience when they are ready.
Gift vouchers make an excellent surprise because they focus on creativity and self-expression. Many clients tell us that receiving a voucher was the reason they finally booked their first tattoo. Others use them toward larger projects or ongoing pieces. A gift like this supports a meaningful moment rather than something that is forgotten within weeks.
Red Point Tattoo Merchandise for Christmas Giving
Alongside Christmas tattoo appointments and vouchers, we have merchandise that makes excellent gifts. Our limited-run clothing series features unique designs from talented guest artists. These shirts are printed on high-quality Guilden 185gsm Classic heavyweight tees and produced in small batch runs. Because of this, each shirt feels special and collectible.
Enter the OsU Limited Edition T-shirt
The Enter the Osu t-shirt is part of our limited series. It comes in a military green colour and features artwork by Yutaro. The shirt is 100% combed ringspun cotton and printed with care to produce crisp lines and strong contrast. We released only fifty of these shirts, so they appeal to clients who enjoy exclusive merchandise. Many people buy them as gifts because the artwork has a bold look that reflects the tattoo style we love at Red Point Tattoo.
War Machine Limited Edition T-shirt
We also stock the War Machine limited edition t-shirt, designed by Joe Spaven. Like Enter the Osu, this shirt is available in a small run of fifty. It is printed on a sand-coloured Guilden heavyweight tee and made from 100% combed ringspun cotton. The artwork stands out with strong lines and a striking illustrated style. The War Machine shirt suits anyone who enjoys tattoo-inspired artwork and wants something that looks individual rather than mass-produced.
New Collaboration with a Design Lab
We are also excited to release a new t-shirt created in collaboration with the Japanese company A Design Lab. This upcoming design combines traditional influences with contemporary styling. Many clients look forward to these releases because they arrive in small quantities and share a strong artistic vision. The new shirt will also make a unique Christmas gift for tattoo fans, art collectors or anyone who enjoys limited-edition clothing.
The short or long sleeve tees feature three Lucky Charms, with the words “Tattoo” and “London” at the top and “Innovation,” “Red Point,” and “Tradition” at the bottom. The front displays the RPT logo alongside “Red Point” written in Japanese, creating a striking design from every angle. Printed on the Stanley/Stella Unisex Creator 2.0 long sleeve, it is made from 100% organic compact ringspun cotton at 180gsm, ensuring both comfort and quality in every wear.
Make Christmas Special with a Visit to Red Point Tattoo
A Christmas tattoo can become a memorable experience. December has a reflective feel, and people often take time to think about achievements, challenges and next steps. Tattoos connect with that process because they mark things that matter. Clients may choose designs linked to family, art, culture or personal growth. We enjoy taking those ideas and turning them into something permanent.
Visitors to the studio experience a calm atmosphere where artwork is the focus. Our artists take care to guide clients through the process, from refining ideas to planning aftercare. Because December is one of our busiest months, we always recommend booking early. Anyone considering a Christmas tattoo can explore our work and artist profiles.
