Sacred Knot designs each tattoo uniquely for the individual and their interests. Our art is rooted in the ancient and universal tradition of human expression, brought to life on the skin through critical research and an intentional relationship with historic art and the wearer.

Our studio was founded in 2016 by Sean Parry in Llandudno.

North Wales has a deep historical significance for ancient Europe, and is easily accessible to travellers from across the world.

Llandudno has been settled by Vikings, fortified by Iron Age Celts, and was home to Bronze Age and Neolithic artisans. Our mountain peninsula is saturated in stories of the past.

Many people that visit us say that exploring our town and surrounding nature/historical sites is as special as the tattoo experience itself.

We feel privileged to welcome all of you to our home in Llandudno and to share our love for historical art.

15+ Tattoo Artists from across the world visit Sacred Knot each year.
