TATTOO STUDIO
ABOUT US
Life Won't Wait is a tattoo and piercing studio in Portsmouth. Owner Joss Wilders took the studio over in 2019 from My Last One owned by the late Steve Willett.
The studio has a team of talented artists who specialise in oriental, dotwork, geometric, traditional and illustrative tattooing. Find out more about the artists here.
We understand getting tattooed can be a daunting experience, especially if it is your first tattoo or you haven't visited the studio before. Therefore, we pride ourselves on making every client feel completely safe, welcome, relaxed and ensure they leave with a positive experience and a beautiful new tattoo. Each step of the process is explained and no question is too silly. The studio has a smaller tattoo room if you would like more privacy whilst you get tattooed. The team are always happy to answer any questions you may have before and after you get your tattoo.

"This was my first time getting a tattoo and I was so so nervous! Denni, who was our tattooist, was MORE THAN AMAZING! I felt so comfortable and safe and he made the environment so relaxing! As someone who is really terrified of needles, it was done with such ease! I’ll 100% be going back. Oh, and of course the final tattoo looks INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you so so much!!"
