ABOUT TOUGH TOMATOES

Howdy Partner! I’m Lucie, the Sheriff and ink slinger at Tough Tomatoes.

Tough Tomatoes is an indie tattoo and art brand, with a mission to spread joy through inklusivity.

From my private lil Norwich tattoo studio, I make ink for your skin, and for everything else besides.

Tough tomatoes is the place to go for LGBTQIA, queer friendly tattoos, an inclusive, chilled atmosphere, and most importantly of all, gorgeous tattoos.

Can’t make the distance? Get some of my artwork and merch sent straight to you.

With years of tattooing experience, I’ve made artwork for hundreds of Chuffed Tomatoes. Join the bunch!
