Bev wanted to create a studio that was a little different to the traditional image of tattoo studios, namely boarded windows with dingy waiting rooms and big burley type tattooists. Bev had guessed correctly that the number of ladies getting tattoos and piercings would increase and the image of the studio would need to appeal to the clientelle.
The short answer is yes a bit. I always say it doesn't hurt enough to stop you getting it done if you really want it! So you have got to want it. You will hear all sorts of descriptions of how it feels, but every one of us takes to it differently. At best it's ok and at worst it's uncomfortable. Will it Bleed?
1 When you leave the studio your tattoo will have a plastic cover over it, this will keep any blood of your clothes and act as a barrier from any harmful external elements. 5 The first few days the tattoo may feel sensitive. Then the skin will feel tight as the scabs form. They can last 1 to 2 weeks.
At Skins and Needles we have many years combined experience of creating artwork and designing tattoos. Our team is proficient at all styles but also have their own areas of interest that they excel at. Please view the examples of their work in the galleries to get a feel for their style.
We have a selection of designs available in studio but can also work with customers own design ideas to create a custom piece based on what the customer likes and what will work best.We will need to get a clear direction of what we are doing. Therefore It will help if you have a definite idea of what you like or want when it comes to booking in.

I’ve been in today for a portrait of my bearded dragon. Jay did this and it was more than perfect, he admitted he worried about this as never done one before but obviously can turn his hand to anything. Jay you are a true artist, but not sure about the music choice🤣. Thanks guys for a brilliant and friendly morning. Highly recommended 20/10
