2014-2024 Flowinkstudio & Custom Cult.

Lainey Bee was proud owner of Flowinkstudio, later renamed to Custom Cult. As this is such a big part of her career we wanted to show you some pictures of this beautiful studio. She had the studio for 10 years!

Flowinkstudio was created by Lainey Bee in 2014 in the Nijmegen center, the Netherlands. What started as a small private studio had grown into a beautiful 2000 square feet(200m2) with 4 large private studios and tattoo artists from all over the world! A studio which stand for personal guidance, a professional approach and artists who design unique and personal tattoos.   

Flowinkstudio turned into a Tattoo Collective; Custom Cult

In 2020 we all got hit by the corona virus. We couldn't tattoo for 2,5 months in the first lockdown and the whole world stood still. It gave time to think and plan the next move! Since Lainey's international career was buzzing and she was gone for half of the year she came up with a new exciting path to take! She build this studio to work with others to share the love for the artform of tattooing and grow by sharing knowledge. For this reason she approached another studio and asked them to join forces!

It was a positive boost we all needed to come out of this crisis even stronger! This calls for a new name! Lainey renames her studio;
CUSTOM CULT -Tattoo Collective –
Custom; because we want to design a unique piece of art for you, based on your wishes.
Cult; a small, but very active subculture of people who are fans of a certain artistic expression.

We had some turbulent years during the Corona crisis in which we were allowed to work occasionally due to lockdowns and curfews. The collaboration was born from an ideal which unfortunately did not last because of too great a difference in work ethic. The other studio decided to quit her business and Lainey moved on to working with artists that fit her ideals better. 2022 Custom Cult is no longer a collaboration between 2 studios, but a collaboration between fantastic artists.

The Future is shining bright! Lainey has handpicked over 25 artists specialized in 20+ tattoostyles who, with love for their profession, there clients and art form, can't wait to design your next custom tattoo!

When you enter you immediately see the first 2 rooms separated by a glass wall. Downstairs are 2 more rooms. Every space is decorated the same. 

Luxurious comfortable tattoo chairs, lots of light, open space and lots of plants. ( You almost imagine yourself in a tropical jungle ).

Every studio is a private room meaning that there is only one or two artists per studio. If you like total privacy we can close the curtains of the glass walls. If you like to watch what happens in the rest of the studio, they will remain open. There is a tv in each studio so if your more comfortable watching tv, just let us know. 

Everything to ensure a good 'vibe' within our studio. After all, it is all about the 'flow'. The mental state in which a person fully engages in his/her activities; the optimal state of experience. We work creatively, positively and thoughtfully. The experience of the customer (and the artist) is an important part of a beautiful tattoo! Did you spot Lainey Bee's creation? The Stinger Storage, for that extra flow 🙂

2024 The END of the studio

After almost a decade of having a studio, Lainey and Robert decide it's time for the next big move! They made the leap to the U.S. in 2023! Initially, they thought about splitting the year and going back and forth between continents. But after a year of that, they realized it's a bit too much. After a lot of thinking, there's no other choice!

They love America so much that they won't be reopening the studio in the new year, 2024. They're opting for adventure! It's bittersweet, but they're also pumped for this new chapter as they bid farewell to Custom Cult.

In 2024, Lainey will mainly be working in America, hitting up places like Las Vegas, Austin, Texas, and Honolulu! And don't worry, she hasn't forgotten her Dutch and European clients – she'll still be popping over to Europe for guest spots and conventions regularly!
