Look who’s back.

Due to popular demand, we’re very pleased to say that Hayley Parkin is back tattooing after a well deserved break. Hayley will now be in the studio on Tuesday and Thursday only. Spaces are limited, and Hayley will be tattooing select pieces, but we’re hoping we can keep everyone who wants to be tattooed by her happy. You’re free to come into the studio at any time to talk about making an appointment with her, though obviously the best day to do so is Tuesday and Thursday.

No I.D., no Tattoo

Recently, we’ve been experiencing a large number of underage people trying to book in with us. Because of that, we’d like to start this week with a helpful reminder: if you are under 21, you will need to show us some ID. A form of ID is a drivers licence or a passport- not a college card or a bus pass. Tattooing someone under the age of 18 is illegal, and you’re definitely not worth losing a licence over.

Now we’ve taken care of business, here’s some work from us. As always, click on the images to see more work.

New Opening Times, and a Guest Spot from Alec Benjamin.

Firstly, some studio news: from now on, the studio will be open from Tuesday-Saturday every week. Right now, we are so busy at the studio that no one has any time to carry on with their own projects or even draw at the minute, so these two days a week are necessary.

Also, we’re very happy to say that, as well as Blake Heppell joining us next month we also have Alec Benjamin coming over in July. He’s a really great tattooer, and if you’ve seen his work even once you’ll want in on this. Alec will be with us from the 3rd of July to the 7th. If you would like to book in with Alec for this, please either contact us in the usual ways or message Alec here.

Hayley Has a Day Free, and Blake is Coming Back!

Next month, Blake Heppell will be coming back to the studio for a while. He left the shop last year to go home to Australia but, as much as we try, we can’t keep him away! He’ll back around the 5th of June, but his space may be limited. To avoid any disappointment, we’d recommend booking in as soon as you can. To see Blake’s work and drop him a line, please see his Facebook page here.

Also, Hayley has a very rare day free on the 17th. Space with Hayley is always extremely limited, so if you’ve been waiting for an opportunity to be tattooed by Hayley, here’s a good chance to get in before anyone else. Drop us a line in the usual way (or even better, come into the studio!) to book in. Don’t sit and wait to be disappointed later, book in now to get the spot.

Here is some of the work from this week. As always, click on each image to see more from this week.

Space Filling Quickly!

At the moment, space at the studio is really filling up. We’d love to tattoo you all so please make sure you book in advance to avoid any disappointment. We’ll still have walk in opportunities as long as you get there early on the day, but for everything else… well, take a look, this is next month’s calendar for Ian:

Three Floors of Good, Honest Tattooing

Ian got a little snap-happy last week around the studio, so we have some pictures of inside to show you guys. If you’ve never visited the shop before, you may be surprised to know that behind the single door on Nun Street lies three large floors of tattooing. Every tattooer here has their own private room, and we have a huge reception area where you can have a sit down and look through our work. Here are a few photos:

Collaborative Prints Soon.

Firstly, some blog news: we’ve cleaned up the ‘Category’ section in the right hand column, so looking through older posts is now a little easier. Also, we now have a page which shows the best ways to see more work from the guys and keep up to date. Click here to see that, or click on ‘See More Work’ at the top.

Back to the studio: Ian and Hayley are both currently working on a collaboration piece. It will be cool, and full colour prints will be available when it’s done. For now, here is a peek, from Ian:
