This place is by far the friendliest and most welcoming studio I've been in. If you're a bit wimpish like me and get the old butterflies in the stomach before getting inked, the last thing you need is an artist who acts like they're doing a favour to tattoo you. So I arrived there and had a little chat with Paul Humphreys, and luckily got fitted in later that afternoon. The studio's very well decorated with kitsch retro feel, and the place generally as a really good atmosphere. Whilst you're there you can have a look through the slideshows of art work mounted on the walls or have a look through the magazines for some inspiration. I'd already had the outlines of my lilies tattooed on my side and just needed some lines redone and shading added. I'd left it for two years because your ribs are possibly the worst place to get inked pain wise! Luckily Paul made me feel very comfortable and relaxed, and showed awesome dedication by staying open an extra couple of hours to finish off the work. I have no idea if this is routine or not, but either way it was fully appreciated. And what's more is I've ended up with an incredible piece of art work tattooed on me for life!

Impressive website, clean and easy to navigate. The artwork is something else. Even if you are not interested in a tattoo this site is a must to see.
