New female owned tattoo studio opening in Kings Heath
1st March 2026- A new independent tattoo studio is opening its doors in Kings Heath, bringing a fresh, inclusive and artist-led space to one of Birmingham’s most creative neighbourhoods. Founded by two highly experienced female tattoo artists, Queen of Swords officially opens on Sunday 1st March at 3 Kingsfield Road, Kings Heath, B14 7JN.
With a combined 9+ years of professional experience, the co-founders, Katie Teitge and Leah Adam have built strong reputations within the tattoo industry, working across respected studios across Birmingham. Queen of Swords marks the next step in their careers- a space designed to prioritise artistry, client comfort and representation within an industry that has historically been male-dominated.
Co-Founder Katie said “The aim has always been to create an inclusive, friendly space where both the artist and the client can feel comfortable, inspired, and genuinely enjoy the process. We’ve taken the knowledge we’ve gained through our experience and poured it into building a studio that feels calm, creative, and welcoming to everyone who walks through the door. We’ve worked incredibly hard to bring this space to life, and we can’t wait to officially open our doors and welcome you all.”
Co-Founder Leah added “As a female-owned studio, it has been really important to us to build an environment that feels safe, respectful and empowering- particularly in an industry that hasn’t always made space for that. Opening a female-owned studio in Kings Heath feels exciting and important, and we’re proud to be adding to the area’s independent creative scene.”
To celebrate the opening, Queen of Swords will be hosting an opening party on Sunday 1st March- featuring a flash day, live music from Birmingham’s up and coming metal prodigies Cherry Dead, market stalls, drinks and a chance to meet the artists and learn more about the studio’s ethos.
