It’s been a while since I’ve done meet the team - so here is Lucy ✨… Hey, I’m Lucy!

Some of you will already know me from Phatt Toad, where I’ve been making coffees and chatting with you all for almost a year now. Being around the studio every day only made me fall even more in love with tattooing, and I’m now spending my Fridays and Saturdays tattooing and learning alongside the amazing team at Violet Rose.

I’m actually Sam and Louise’s sister-in-law, so I’ve been around the family for a long time. It feels really special to now be part of the Violet Rose and Phatt Toad team always learning from such talented artists and amazing people.

Outside of work, music is a huge part of my life. If you know me, you’ll know I’m usually on a dancefloor somewhere. I love the atmosphere, the people, and the chance to completely lose yourself in the music.

I’m also obsessed with my two sausage dogs, Benji and Frank. They couldn’t be more different, but they somehow both manage to run my life.

When I’m not at Phatt Toad, tattooing, or spending time with the dogs, I’m usually wakeboarding, snowboarding, or doing anything that keeps me moving.

I’m really excited to continue my tattoo journey at Violet Rose and can’t wait to show you more of what I’ve been working on. Next time you’re in, come and have a look through some of my designs!

Tomorrow’s menu is looking very serious 👀

Cinnamon rolls 🤍
New size, new flavor, and you completely sold us out today… so they’re back tomorrow, but limited. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

✨ Bueno Brownies – officially replacing our Dubai brownies.
Layered properly… signature brownie base, crispy kanafa wrapped in Bueno sauce, topped with a smooth milk chocolate layer and finished with a Bueno. These are serious.

✨ Salted Caramel Cornflake Brownies – always a sell-out. Chewy, crunchy, sweet-salty perfection. If you know, you know. 🤍 White Chocolate Twix Blondies – rich, buttery blondie base topped with smooth white chocolate and white choc Twix 🤤

🍪 NYC Chip Cookies – the OGs. We say no more.
💚 Pistachio Stuffed Cookies – back again because you keep asking.
🍰 Cake Jars – Bueno & Dubai… both SOLD OUT today, so be quick. First come, first served.

🍋 Lemon Drizzle Cake – not going to lie… earlier it was giving fried egg in photos so we haven’t posted 😂
That’s been fixed for tomorrow. Same flavour, better looks.

🥐 Phatt Sausage Rolls – you’ll never try a sausage roll like it 😏

NEW SPECIALS 🥤
🍓 Strawberry Shortcake (matcha or latte)
🍪 Cookie Butter (matcha or latte)
