Hey folks! Some of you may be aware that Wales changed its licensing regs for tattooists last year. We are proud to be a fully licensed, fully insured, DBS checked, IPC registered studio. We’ve been fully registered the entire time. Between us both we have over 14 years experience in the industry.
Your tattoos mean the most to us, we appreciate every single one of you. So thank you for trusting us with your bodies!!
Now the serious part, under no circumstances should anyone be getting tattooed under the age of 18. We check ID’s and we refuse to tattoo anyone who is under the age of 18. No special licenses or insurances allow for this to happen. It is against the law. No parent or guardian can sign a waiver, it’s a straight up no.
Lately we are seeing poorly healed work that is not done by us. We take pride in everything we do, we are artists first and foremost, and to have our work on your body is our pride and joy!
If you are curious about any studios and want to check out a potential tattoo studio in Wales (and beauty salons), to see if they’re compliant, head over to:
www.specialprocedures.co.uk
You will find all reputable artists and studios there, including us.
Check your artist, check their art! Do they do their own flash? Can they paint/draw? Check their healed photos, never agree to anything you’re uncomfortable with.
Big love to you all, we won’t stand for poor practice!
Hayley & Matt
