I would like to say an immence thank you to Paul for the fantastic work he has done on my back Indian scene tattoo over the past 18 months, I am absolutely over the moon. My idea came from a Teeshirt that I had bought in Spain and just went on from there with Paul's expert ideas and input. I regard Paul as a true professional who takes great pride in his work, he has great attributes in that he is able to listen, is patient and has great vision and honesty in what will work and look best. I will be definetely back

Hi Paul, We just wanted to say thanks for the fab tattoos you did for us last weekend. This is the first time we both went to Paul, having seen his amazing work on his website. I got a pawprint design with angel wings and arabic writing in tribute to my cat whilst Billy had an amazing portrait of her on his calf. So pleased with the results, Paul puts great care and precision into his work and is very skilled. Will definitely be back for more work in the future!

Paul has just completed my first tattoo, a biblical design on full upper arm. His help with the design was invaluable and gave an honest opinion. Paul made me feel at ease and level of detail he achieves is simply outstanding, it’s clear to see why he is so widely recommended and respected. Sitting for four hours for your first tattoo is no mean feat but the experience was really good, this is due to Paul and how he goes about his work. I could not be more pleased with the result and I’m looking forward to visiting Paul again for a consultation on a second design to match the first. Whether this is your first or tenth tattoo, I can’t recommend Paul enough, he has a waiting list but as they say, something’s are worth waiting for. Thanks Paul
