IMPORTANT

I have recently been made aware that there is a local tattoo studio opened, saying that he has trained with us.

I just want to make it very clear that we have NO association with any other tattoo studio or the training of any other artist.

He is clearly lying out of his BIG FAT HAIRY ASS!!! and i am NOT impressed.

so now thats cleared up......
Tracie x

A wet week

We have had a flood at the studio.
Think our fishies had a party and didnt clear up !!!!!

We are all ok just rather damp!
This means unfortunatly we cannot open till tuesday next week 21st april.

I am sorry to everyone who had appointments booked for friday or saturday i cannot switch the computor on for your numbers! Please contact us next week and we will do our best to get you back in asap.

A HUGE thank you to KEVLIN and JOE for letting the firemen in and to AARON for the hugs x
Aso thank you to DEAN and DAN loyal customers and friends for helping us fix up the studio again.

strange but true .....

Well, today so far has been a rather odd day...... ive just been to calder vets in dewsbury to tattoo an id number on a pit bull.
Kevlin recieved a call last week whilst i was away from west yorkshire police asking if we would tattoo dogs!! obviously kevlin thought this was a wind up and told him so ! but no it was a genuine call, apparently this pit bull has cleared all tests and is a legal pit bull, and if she didnt get an id tattoo on her leg she would be put to sleep, well those of you who know me know i couldnt let that happen! so off i go this morning to tattoo my first dog! it was sedated but it was a bit nerve wracking! i loved it ....... and im now listed to tattoo for the police should anymore dogs turn up. How cool is that !!? :)

spain

Hi all,
Just to let you know i go away to my dads in spain for a few days, the studio will be open as usual with Kevlin and Danny Boy.

Dan's birthday at the weekend, we bought him a drinking hat..... but found out he's a light weight! more training needed me thinks :) He only managed a pint and half and was all flushed.... so obviously we had to help him out. ( we've had plenty of practise)

So off to sunny ( hopefully ) spain i go, see you when i get back.

keeping busy......

Im glad to say the studio is keeping very busy, which means unfortunatly you have to wait a bit longer for appointments, but thats a good thing surely ? and lets face it, it's worth waiting for !

WARNING !!!!!!!

This week i had a visit from a young man who showed me a tattoo done on his forearm by a

" tattooartist " i use this term loosely !

I can assure you as i assured him.... 2 coats of red will NOT cover this black tattoo!

( believe it or not he was told it would !!!!)

Please check out your tattooist before you go, there are many very good artists in our area make sure you find one !

Anchors

Anchors can go by a variety of names.... surface anchor,transdermal anchor.......

It is jewellery designed for a single point piercing, which means your piercing has only one visable end.

Because of this it allows you to be more creative with piercing placement.

They are installed with one needle and one insertion.

Call into the studio to see ours.... or for more information.
