How to Plan a Tattoo Day Trip to Folkestone

Folkestone Kent Itinerary for Tattoos, Food & Exploring

Planning a tattoo day trip to Folkestone, Kent - including an appointment at Sacred Seers Tattoo Studio, plus great places to eat, shop and explore? Here’s your ultimate itinerary!

Book & Prepare

Book ahead and send over your tattoo ideas. Josh and the team love having time to sketch up something bespoke for you. On the day, wear loose clothing and bring snacks and water to keep yourself comfortable during the session.

The studio is tucked away in Sandgate, a quiet spot just a short stroll from the beach, making it a relaxed place to get tattooed.

Lunch by the Sea

Once your session wraps up, head towards Folkestone’s harbour or stay local in Sandgate. Places like Little Rock Folkestone or Brewing Brothers Beachside offer great views over the Channel and an easy-going menu - ideal if you want to sit down, refuel and take it slow after your tattoo.

Explore the Creative Quarter

With fresh ink wrapped up safely, wander over to Folkestone’s Creative Quarter, full of independent shops, galleries and colourful streets. The Harbour Arm is perfect for a gentle walk, coffee in hand, with sea views and local food stalls dotted along the way. If you’d rather stay closer to the studio, Sandgate’s High Street has antiques and little boutiques worth browsing.

End the Day with a Sunset Stroll

Before heading home, catch the sunset along The Leas promenade or back down on the beach. The sea air and golden light make the perfect end to your Folkestone tattoo trip.
