As 2025 draws to a close we want to take a minute to thank each and every one of you who has supported us here at 222 Tattoo. 2025 has been a year filled with amazing ink, incredible designs and lush piercings. It has been out absolute pleasure to have you in the chair and see the pure joy on your faces. The studio has been filled with laughs, love and cheer, and for that we are incredibly grateful.
As 2026 creeps up on us, there are some big things coming up. Unfortunately both our head artist and piercer are awaiting surgery, which will have a huge impact on how the studio operates. Our legendary head artist Steve has made the hard decision to relocate in preparation for his medical procedure in order to enable his family to help care for him throughout his intense recovery. He has been waiting a long time for this procedure and the intense recovery process means he will be unable to work for an extended period.
Alongside this, our piercer is also waiting on a date regarding two different chest surgeries. Both of these will have them laid up for a minimum of 5 months per surgery.
Because of these two factors, we have made the heartbreaking decision to temporarily close 222 Tattoo until all our staff are able to get back to full working capacity. We have been incredibly busy recently, especially the last few weeks, but unfortunately we cannot maintain the amount of work you lovely people are requesting once medical treatment begins for two of our staff members. It truly saddens us to close the book on our time at Bridge Street, but we cannot sustain the amount of appointments being booked with two colleagues off for extended periods.
Our final date of 2025 will be 11th of December, so we recommend booking in ASAP to confirm your slot before we close our doors on Bridge Street.
This is not the end of 222 and we will be reopening services at a new location in late 2026, so keep your eyes peeled for updates on our reopening. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here in Aber and we are beyond grateful for all of you who have supported us through our time here. Keep your eye out for our end of year deals as we go through our final month at our current location.
