Its frosted windows give little indication of what\u2019s inside, though a steady rotation of heavily inked figures passing in and out of its doors might offer a clue. This is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newlanguage_\/\">New <\/a><\/span><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newlanguage_\/\">Language<\/a>, a different kind of studio within the tattoo scene, challenging the closed apprenticeship structures and male-dominated culture that have traditionally characterised the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Established in 2017 by Morgan Myers, New Language was originally a home for artists working between tattooing and other artistic mediums. When Myers left the UK in 2024, the studio entered a new chapter, with resident artists Lisa Vigorelli, Em Finucane and Za\u00fc Good stepping in to continue the project collectively. \u201cWe wanted to work in a space that is affordable, can run itself and support our artists\u2013not just in their tattooing, but in other practices as well,\u201d says Finucane. Today, the studio is home to 11 resident artists, each with their own approach to tattooing, from hand-poked illustrative designs to fonts inspired by Celtic scripts, textures drawn from everyday materials and playful, childlike sketches. While their styles vary, the collective shares a similar approach to the environment they have built. \u201cWe\u2019re a sober space and mostly queer-run,\u201d says Good. \u201cThis informs our shared values and creates a space in which we feel comfortable working and bringing our clients.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"44717da5-12d5-407a-83cf-b4c800bbe194\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1350\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/4\/1454176.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.53\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DC293_PE2_NewLanguageTattoo_011\" class=\"img\" height=\"880\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1350\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/4\/1454176.jpg\" width=\"1350\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Photography Isabel MacCarthy<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>The studio is part of a new global tattoo scene, where artist-run spaces are moving away from the traditional tattoo parlour hierarchy in favour of more DIY and inclusive models. The shift became particularly visible in 2024, when several of London\u2019s beloved underground studios lost their spaces. \u201cThis created a vacuum, where we needed spaces to work in outside of the traditional tattoo sphere to keep the scene alive,\u201d says Finucane. It\u2019s from this wider global scene that guest artists come to work at New Language, tattooing for days at a <\/span><span>time. Often, they go on to host one another in their own studios, an arrangement that \u201cexpands the feeling of the studio across cities and countries, and connects us with <\/span><span>other artists who share the same ethos\u201d, says Finucane. This culture of exchange is common on the scene; follow enough tattoo artists online, and you\u2019ll find an informal e<\/span><span>conomy built on trades\u2013a tattoo for a painting, sculpture, or simply one tattoo for another. <\/span><span>The approach has its challenges, but it\u2019s one the studio is committed to. \u201cWe want to keep this community going,\u201d says Vigorelli, \u201cto have a space that allows people to focus on their <\/span><span>work, trade with their friends and develop their practice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Models @ceasgenko, @keanurobo, @mmnotreally,

scribbles of graffiti. Its frosted windows give little indication of what\u2019s inside, though a steady rotation of heavily inked figures passing in and out of its doors might offer a clue. This is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newlanguage_\/\">New <\/a><\/span><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newlanguage_\/\">Language<\/a>, a different kind of studio within the tattoo scene, challenging the closed apprenticeship structures and male-dominated culture that have traditionally characterised the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Established in 2017 by Morgan Myers, New Language was originally a home for artists working between tattooing and other artistic mediums. When Myers left the UK in 2024, the studio entered a new chapter, with resident artists Lisa Vigorelli, Em Finucane and Za\u00fc Good stepping in to continue the project collectively. \u201cWe wanted to work in a space that is affordable, can run itself and support our artists\u2013not just in their tattooing, but in other practices as well,\u201d says Finucane. Today, the studio is home to 11 resident artists, each with their own approach to tattooing, from hand-poked illustrative designs to fonts inspired by Celtic scripts, textures drawn from everyday materials and playful, childlike sketches. While their styles vary, the collective shares a similar approach to the environment they have built. \u201cWe\u2019re a sober space and mostly queer-run,\u201d says Good. \u201cThis informs our shared values and creates a space in which we feel comfortable working and bringing our clients.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"44717da5-12d5-407a-83cf-b4c800bbe194\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1350\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/4\/1454176.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.53\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DC293_PE2_NewLanguageTattoo_011\" class=\"img\" height=\"880\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1350\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/4\/1454176.jpg\" width=\"1350\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Photography Isabel MacCarthy<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>The studio is part of a new global tattoo scene, where artist-run spaces are moving away from the traditional tattoo parlour hierarchy in favour of more DIY and inclusive models. The shift became particularly visible in 2024, when several of London\u2019s beloved underground studios lost their spaces. \u201cThis created a vacuum, where we needed spaces to work in outside of the traditional tattoo sphere to keep the scene alive,\u201d says Finucane. It\u2019s from this wider global scene that guest artists come to work at New Language, tattooing for days at a <\/span><span>time. Often, they go on to host one another in their own studios, an arrangement that \u201cexpands the feeling of the studio across cities and countries, and connects us with <\/span><span>other artists who share the same ethos\u201d, says Finucane. This culture of exchange is common on the scene; follow enough tattoo artists online, and you\u2019ll find an informal e<\/span><span>conomy built on trades\u2013a tattoo for a painting, sculpture, or simply one tattoo for another. <\/span><span>The approach has its challenges, but it\u2019s one the studio is committed to. \u201cWe want to keep this community going,\u201d says Vigorelli, \u201cto have a space that allows people to focus on their <\/span><span>work, trade with their friends and develop their practice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Models @ceasgenko, @keanurobo, @mmnotreally, @mossy333_, @poke.zero, @sesxyitalianbabe,<br data-start=\"120\" data-end=\"123\">@spookybooky, @streetmicrowave, @4___play, photographic assistants Christopher Low, Sofia Verger<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/beauty\/article\/70977\/1\/whitechapel-new-language-east-london-new-school-tattoo-collective&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/981\/0-651-981-654\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/4\/1454167.jpg&#8221;] Photography Isabel MacCarthy DateInMeta\u00a0 18,\u00a0 2026 Beauty \/ The Autumn 2026 Issue Get to know New Language, East London\u2019s new-school tattoo collective The Whitechapel tattoo studio has embraced new ways of inking to imagine a more inclusive future for the art form September\u00a0 18,\u00a0 2026 BeautyThe Autumn 2026 Issue September\u00a0 18,\u00a0 2026 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,76],"class_list":["post-2151017","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-dazeddigital-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2151017","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2151017"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2151017\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2151017"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2151017"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2151017"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
