Soheyl "the technician" Astangi
Hi there, I'm Soheyl, owner and tattoo artist at Under the Needle London. Art has been my passion for as long as I can remember, and my journey into tattooing began back in 2016. However, my love for the art form goes back even further.
​
From a young age, I found myself drawn to art and photography. It felt like a natural progression for me to delve into the world of tattooing. Over the years, my stylistic journey has evolved, leading me to specialize in realism. I'm constantly pushing myself to explore new techniques and concepts, always striving to elevate the standards of the industry.

Kristina
I’ve been tattooing for over 13 years, specializing in colour realism and surrealism. My goal is to create tattoos that feel both lifelike and otherworldly—blending intricate details with a touch of the unexpected. Every piece I design is personal, meant to tell a story or capture a moment in a way that’s both striking and meaningful.
Beyond tattooing, I’m also a painter. Working on canvas allows me to push my creativity even further, experimenting with colour, texture, and form in ways that inspire my tattoo work. Whether I’m working with ink or paint, my passion is the same—bringing bold, unique visions to life.

Mati
Hi there. I’m Mati, a tattoo artist at Under the Needle London, specialising in Blackwork and Black & Grey Realism. My journey into tattooing began a few years ago through a genuine passion for tattoos and the culture surrounding them. What started as a strong interest quickly became a career that I now dedicate myself to every day.
I didn’t come from a traditional art background, but I was always fascinated by tattooing and the creativity behind it. Since starting my journey, I have worked hard to develop my skills, constantly learning, improving, and refining my craft with every tattoo I create.
My work focuses on bold blackwork, black and grey realism, and custom designs tailored to each client. I enjoy creating tattoos with strong contrast, clean execution, and lasting visual impact, whether it’s a small meaningful piece or a larger custom project.
At Under the Needle London, I strive to provide a professional and welcoming experience while helping clients bring their ideas to life. If you’re looking for custom blackwork or black and grey realism, I’d love to be part of your next tattoo journey.
