How To Tattoo A Traditional Glittery Colour Tattoo with Keely Glitters

We recently had the pleasure of visiting Keely Glitters at Valentine’s Tattoo Studio in Leamington Spa, where she gave us a behind-the-scenes look at how she creates one of her signature traditional glittery colour tattoos. Known for her vibrant, playful designs, Keely's iconic glitter effect adds a magical sparkle that sets her work apart.

As we watched her in action, Keely shared valuable insights into achieving her signature glitter finish—layering three complementary colours in a dot pattern, followed by carefully placed white dots to create a shimmering, light-catching effect.

She also offered practical advice for handling twitchy clients, as well as words of wisdom for newer artists: experiment with different mediums like pencil and acrylics to develop your artistic range, and most importantly, stay true to your style—because eventually, others will love it too.
