NostalgInk is celebrating a major win as their artist and co-owner Fabe (@fabetattoos) takes home the award for Best Small Black and Grey at the UK Tattoo Fest 2025. This marks NostalgInk’s second award win, making the achievement even more special as it was the studio’s first time exhibiting at the festival which took place last weekend at Arena MK in Milton Keynes.
The UK Tattoo Fest brings together over 250 award-winning tattoo artists, making it one of the UK’s most exciting celebrations of tattoo artistry. With some of the best talent in the industry competing, Fabe’s black and grey realism and attention to detail stood out, earning him this prestigious award.
Fabe shared his thoughts about the win, saying:
"It was amazing for myself and the entire team at NostalgInk participating at the UK Tattoo Fest. We brought our A-game and left with a win. I’m ecstatic to have won an award for Best Small Black and Grey, especially amongst other artists who were incredible as well. Brought home the trophy. A win for NostalgInk and a win for Aylesbury."
