I have had a 2 hour slot cancel this morning for this afternoon!

2:00.

Any takers?? First come first served!

Good morning everyone!

I hope you're all keeping well out there.

Just a little heads up.. I know I've been super quiet for so long now. What with another full time job my time is a little stretched, but I am trying to get back to you all as much as I can.
My aim for this year is, sadly, to give up tattooing. It's something that has not been thought about lightly. As you know me, I've considered every likely scenario that will work best... but I can't tattoo forever as my back and hand are now in agony with it.

I have been working a wednesday and will continue to do so until I can no longer.
Ideally, I would like to finish all work off before this.

My diary is full until April now, so I'm not taking bookings at the moment. Covid isn't helping at all!

I hope you can all be understanding and forgiving.. as I'm doing my best!

I miss the shop, more than anything. But if I want to draw in my 40s, I have to do something about it now.

Love you all 💜

Hi all!
Long time since I posted, I know... just thought I'd give you a little update!

I know I haven't got round to replying to everyone yet. I'm currently working month by month so not to overwhelm and inundate myself.... after experiencing a good few 'hic-ups' over the last few months, I think I'm nearly there with it all. (Still need a new power supply... thanks Tom for lending me yours!)

I apologise for being pretty A-WOL with all of this, but thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the patience you guys have given me.
I understand if you don't want to wait around, but for those of you that have, I am eternally grateful.

I do still only work a Wednesday and replying as and when I can in-between two jobs....

Drawings will be done closer to your booking time only, as per.

Thanks guys,
Hope you're all well 💜

🎨 EXCITING NEWS ALERT! 🎨

I am taking my machines out of hibernation!

A good friend of mine at Nuts Barbers/ Jojoz Reiki Magick in Leadgate is letting me rent a chair to get back to tattooing you lovely folk!

I will be working WEDNESDAYS ONLY in there for the time being.
I am opening up my diary from the 21st July.
As I am only open one day a week, I will be asking for a 50% deposit on booking, no exceptions unfortunately!

I am excited to get back to it and see all your lovely faces again 💜

I will get round to replying to your messages as quickly as I can. Thank you all for your patience and loyalty ✌

Hey everyone!
How's it going?
I've received a few messages lately... I'm not ignoring you, I'm just having a few technical difficulties that I'm on working out.
I'll be on replying as soon as I can ✌

It is with a very heavy heart that I write this.. I have made the difficult decision to close down my current shop.
I am not giving up my machine and hoping to rent a chair or such in the future, where we may meet again!
It isn't forever... just not sure when that will be.
I will be keeping this page active to keep you all up to date with things.

I want to thank you all for your support, especially this last year.

Until we meet again, my friends.

Ps. I have messaged everyone I know who has purchased a gift voucher, but if I have not, please PRIVATE message me about any concerns you may have, I will be happy to help all I can.

As many of you would have seen last nights announcement, we are back in a full lockdown until at least mid February. Meaning we will be closed once again for the forseeable.

I have made a list of all who were already booked in, those who are wanting to get in, and those who I assume would want in at some point!
To all of you, I will be in touch about rescheduling appointments... again!
Until then, I won't be making any appointments until I know what will be happening.

Please feel free to message any time, but know, I won't be drawing any tattoos up in prep or booking you in yet, or even tattooing you from my kitchen!

I know you were all so excited to get back in, believe me, I was too. I miss working in my beautiful shop! But the main thing to do now is to KEEP SAFE. Abide by rules and lets kick this virus in the arse so we can get back to work and "normality" as soon as possible.

I am always around if anyone needs a chat about anything at all.

Thank you all for your patience, always.
💜 AJ, MBT

So that's it folks, closed again! So sorry to those of you who were booked in in the upcoming weeks, but we will have to reschedule... again! I will answer messages and make lists and start again!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support throughout this uncertain year. I truly couldn't be here without you all by my side.
Without you guys, the shop is just a building, not my home.

I'm not sure when we will be able to reopen, so once again, I ask for your patience. Who knows what 2021 will bring.

A "Happy New Year" to you all. Keep safe, and keep being awesome.
Much love 💘
AJ, MBT.

That's it folks, we are closed for Christmas!
Thank you to all who made this last month back at work super.
I will be in touch about next years appointments after Christmas and answer all messages that I've had.
Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and I'll (hopefully) see you in the New Year!
Keep safe and be merry! 🎄🍾🥂
