Well guys. 13 years and I'm done. Aneurism and stroke on the 7th of Feb was the surprise I definitely didn't need. Nichole NicDastardly Clairmont flew back that day and has been my rock and superstar. I'll get back to tattooing. But for now my concentration needs to be focused on my health. MD&E is no more. The property has been taken over by the Gilato shop. Super folks, support them if you can. Am I done slinging ink? Far from it. But watch this space. I need to actually walk 1st. Thanks Frodvegas to all that crost the threshold. I'll see you all on the other side.
FINK.

**From Crisis to Comeback: Help Neil Rebuild**

On February 7th, everything changed. A sudden brain hemorrhage left Neil fighting for his life—and now, he’s fighting to rebuild it.

He’s learning to walk again, struggling with memory and vision, and facing a future full of uncertainty. We’ve closed his beloved shop, our home needs urgent repairs, and the road ahead feels overwhelming.

We’re asking for help—to create a safe space for Neil to heal, to cover therapy, care, and the basics we once took for granted.

**Please share, donate if you can, and help us bring Neil back home to hope.**

**A Final Goodbye from Neil’s Wife**

Alright everyone,

As we draw this chapter to a close, I just wanted to take a moment to say a massive thank you to each and every one of you who’s been part of Mad Dogs and Englishmen Tattoo Parlour. Making the decision to close up shop for good wasn’t easy, but with Neil’s health taking priority, we’ve had to make the hard call.

To all the local shop owners and our brilliant clients—thank you for your unwavering support, your trust, and the memories we’ve shared. It’s been an absolute pleasure to have you all along for the ride. We’ve made some cracking friendships throughout the years and those will stay with us forever.

We may be saying our goodbyes, but the love and kindness you’ve all shown will never be forgotten. You’ve made this journey something special, and for that, we’re forever grateful.

So, from the bottom of our hearts—thank you, and take care of yourselves. We’ll always have a soft spot for our local community.

Much love,
Nic

P.S. Hey, let's support local businesses, okay? And older folks, check your blood pressure regularly, get your will, emergency contact info, and power of attorney in order, and if you're the sole breadwinner, sort out your insurance.

MD&E will cease operations by the end of the week. Neil will honor his commitment to either refund deposits or retain them for future rescheduling. Please allow us time to reconcile our accounts. Thank you for your past patronage and understanding during this transition.

TCB & FTW!

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of MD&E on Church Street after 14 fantastic years of slinging ink in Frodsham. Thank you for your custom and allowing Neil to do the work he is so passionate about. This won't be the end of our journey by any means. A comeback special will happen.

MD&E will be closed until further notice. Neil has been admitted to hospital and is in urgent care. If you have an upcoming appointment, please get in touch in a few days and we'll try to work something out. Apologies for the inconvenience. We appreciate your patience.
