I decided to get a tattoo not so long back, I spent a large number of days researching what I…read morewanted an where it was going to be. I found a local tattoo studio in the Telford and Shropshire area Ministry of Ink Tattoo Studio Dawley. I contacted the studio to discuss my tattoo and was asked to visit them for a consultation. So I popped down and by the end of the consultation we had agreed on colour, size and the place that i was going to have my tattoo. Matthew and Deane were most helpful and inventive, with their experience I must say the tattoo design was excellent. As they did late Thursday nights and I had work commitments most that week we agreed to book me in and do it then, I was told to visit the chemist on the same street as the studio for some numbing cream 'which worked a treat, thanks to the guys for advising I used this'. As I wanted to feel what It was like I only used some of the cream and being honest having a tattoo is not all that bad, you get used to the sensation after a minute or so. Within the hour booking I was done, and WOW my tattoo looked great, better than imagined. Using Matt and Deane's advice to use Bepanthen cream it healed a treat. I would recommend Ministry of Ink Tattoo Studio Telford to anyone, my first tattoo is an example of how good they are and with artists like these I intend to return if I ever want more! Thanks both of you.

Huge thanks to the staff for making me feel welcome and talking me through my tattoo colours and designs.

She is knowledgeable and will always offer advise as to what you require or how to make something look better. But she will not force her ideas on to you.

If anyone was thinking of having work done for the first time, or just adding to existing work, I can think of no better place than Bodyart Studios to have it done.

It was opened in the summer of 2006 by Chris Hatton, a tattoo artist with a considerable reputation for his custom tattoos. His objectives were clear; he wanted to "create a hygienic, friendly tattoo shop that prides itself on good customer care and a very high standard of work". There is no doubting that he has realised his aims. The majority of tattoos performed at Physical Graffiti are custom designed to meet the client's own specifications, but there's also a variety of flash in the shop to provide inspiration. (It is also possible to buy flash either from the shop or by mail order from the website). They also provide a fully licensed laser tattoo removal service that is and performed by highly trained staff. The treatment procedure and all other information can be found in the laser removal section of the website. There's also a quirky side to the business that I really like. They stock a range of tattoo related merchandise which includes t-shirts, bags, wallets and purses as well as custom painted shoes featuring tattoo related designs. They will also create shoes to your personal specifications. How good is that!?!

I downloaded a picture of the design I wanted ( an ancient symbol for the God Asclepius, if you were interested) and was dead-set on having this tattooed onto the nape of my neck. I went into Holey Skin, a bit nervous to enter this unchartered territory, and asked Doc Croc how much a tattoo of this design and size would cost. Looking back now, I know I wasn't in my right frame of mind and am glad I didn't go through with it. However, I know that if I really was serious about getting a tattoo then I would definitely come back here. The place was spotlessly clean and all the staff were happy to allay my fears and give me advice on the procedures.
