Read More About Us
We only use the best equipment and ink from UK suppliers which ensures everything is date checked and in line with UK Health and Hygiene standards. Vegan ink which is kind to the environment is also an option with us here at Skins and Needles. Alongside multiple environmental health visits you can be rest assured you are getting the safest tattoo from us.
We have a mixed skill set within the studio with all our artists specialising in their own style. Unlike other studios who may attempt other styles to please their customers, we don’t. We are passionate about picking the right artist for the job regardless of financial needs and are able to provide finance so you dont have to compromise your design. We aim to please our customers first and foremost and we will not undertake a job we don’t think will look amazing. We also aim to please our artists by finding them the right client so it’s a win win.
