SME News Southern Enterprise Awards 2023 | 22 Tattoos are more than just ink on skin. They’re a part of a person’s identity – a piece of art that they’re going to carry with them for the rest of their lives. As such, individuals should seek out the tattoo artists that understand the impact of their work. Ones who truly care about how their art is going to be portrayed and shown off to the world for years to come. CoCreate is an Essex-based tattoo studio whose artists wholly embody this quality, and we explore how these talented individuals come together to build the foundations of Essex’s most renowned tattoo studio. Getting tattooed is an extremely personal experience. Not only must you be comfortable in a physical sense, but the environment must be welcoming, with individuals who are on the same wavelength as you when it comes to your needs and expectations. CoCreate recognises this, and has gone above and beyond to create one of the most inviting atmospheres for its clients, all whilst upholding a level of quality that’s simply second to none. Comprised of four brilliant artists, each representing unique tattoo styles, CoCreate promises a definitive tattoo experience that far outmatches what other studios within Essex have to offer. Throughout both its Chelmsford and Castle Hedingham studios, CoCreate offers widely different experiences that both still manage to follow the same throughline. Regardless of the studio that a client may elect to visit, each boasts an incredible level of talent that guarantees, not just a gorgeous tattoo, but an enjoyable experience that’ll make them eager to return for more. Whether you’re heavily inked, or are looking to add the very first piece of art to the canvas that is your skin, CoCreate will go above and beyond to ensure that your every need is met. What makes CoCreate truly unique, however, is the differing experiences that it offers between both of its studios. Whilst its Chelmsford location presents an incredibly social and friendly atmosphere that’s filled to the brim with energy and conversation, its low-key, countryside studio in Castle Hedingham allows clients to indulge in a more relaxing environment. Regardless, CoCreate abides by the ethos of taking care of its clients, be it in a physical sense or a more mental manner. Keeping its clients happy, healthy, and having a great time is its priority, and its artist have vowed to stop at nothing to settle any anxieties that a client may have. None of this would be possible, however, without the excellence that is its collection of artists. Mike Philp, Frances McCarthy-Jones, and Lauren Gaskell who make up the roots of the CoCreate name, and it’s their impeccable sense of artistic flair that truly makes them gems within the tattoo industry. Each boasting their own specialty styles, this fantastic four are able to perfectly marry quality art with a friendly atmosphere to shape CoCreate into what it is today. There’s an eye for beauty that transcends the process of tattooing, allowing them to extend their prowess to their surrounding environment. The result is clear – united, these four represent what it means to be a cohesive group of award-winning artists. Of course, it’s no secret that many see tattoos as a huge commitment, and those people would be absolutely right. It’s a piece of art that’s going to permanently occupy your skin, and sometimes it can be difficult to even get the ball rolling on an idea. This is where CoCreate’s artists come in. Depending on a client’s preference, they have four unique styles to choose from, with each artist promising a different outcome from the others under the CoCreate umbrella. Once a client has decided on an artist, said individual will go on to forge a design that incorporates everything that they could possibly want. And, if they aren’t quite sure, that’s where the fun truly begins. Giving a tattoo artist creative freedom is one of the most appealing parts of the process – only then can a client receive a design that is completely unique to them. CoCreate’s artists are masters of taking concepts and adapting them into their chosen styles, allowing them to bring a client’s vision to life with a hint of their own creative flair. CoCreate recognises that there is a tattoo design for everyone, and takes an incredibly personal approach to discover the perfect piece to adorn a person’s canvas. Through rigorous, yet friendly, consultations, CoCreate helps more uncertain clients figure out where to start, and will eventually be able to breathe life into what was once just an idea. CoCreate is on a journey to better the tattoo industry to the best of its ability. No individual should ever have to settle for a subpar tattoo, and CoCreate is at the forefront of trying to elevate the standard of what tattooing should be. The process should invite excitement and encourage creativity, allowing artists to flourish and embrace their own styles, as opposed to mimicking the art of another. This, partnered with quality guidance that lasts from consultation to aftercare, is what makes CoCreate truly special, and its example is definitely one to mirror for any studio trying to find their feet. Whether individuals are seeking Mike’s signature black and grey realism style that’s enriched with geometric patterns and negative space, or are wanting a smaller, dot work piece with stellar line art, CoCreate has the means to provide. With CoCreate, the first step has transitioned from daunting to enticing, allowing clients to truly enjoy every second of their tattoo journey. CoCreate marks what a tattoo studio should aim for, and it’s for this reason that it’s become such a renowned place for individuals to adorn their skin with some of the UK’s most jaw-dropping tattoos.
