At Skins & Needles, we're entering the most exciting chapter in our journey.

Founded in 2011, we've grown into one of the North East's most recognised tattoo studios, building a reputation for exceptional artists, outstanding customer experience, and a loyal client base across multiple locations. Now, we're taking the next step.

We're relocating our Middlesbrough headquarters to Gibson House—a landmark building that will become the largest dedicated tattoo and piercing destination in the region. This significant investment reflects our commitment to the future of the industry and our ambition to create an environment where both artists and clients experience something truly exceptional.

Designed with artists in mind, our new studio will offer spacious workstations, premium facilities, a professional atmosphere, and the support of an experienced management and front-of-house team. We believe talented artists should spend their time creating incredible tattoos, while we focus on bringing clients through the door and delivering an outstanding customer experience from the moment they enquire.

Whether you're an established artist looking for a long-term studio to call home or a travelling artist searching for a professional guest spot, Skins & Needles offers the opportunity to be part of something bigger. Our studios attract a diverse and loyal clientele, supported by dedicated marketing, an established brand, and a business that continues to invest in growth.

As we begin this exciting new chapter at Gibson House, we're looking for ambitious, passionate artists who want to grow with us. If you're ready to work in one of the North East's most exciting tattoo studios, we'd love to hear from you.

We regularly host guest artists from across the UK and around the world. If you're travelling or looking for a short-term placement, our studios provide a professional and welcoming environment with a strong client base. All guest artists must hold the appropriate right to work in the UK.

We’re always looking for talented and passionate artists to join our team long-term. As a resident artist at Skins & Needles, you’ll work within a supportive creative environment alongside a team of highly skilled professionals.

Established 2011 – over 14 years’ experience and leaders in our industry, at Skins & Needles you can be confident you are in safe and knowledgeable hands when getting your tattoo.
