Hi Paul, Thankyou so much for my two new tattoos, after a bad experience elsewhere, you were recommended to me and I only wish I had known about you sooner so I could have come to you in the first place. You have transformed them into tattoos I now love and I can't wait to come back and see you so that you can work your magic again.

Paul did an amazing cover-up piece for me last year, but I've only just got round to signing the guestbook! I absolutely love my tattoo which is a beautiful owl in a night sky and you'd never know it was cover-up. I've had loads of really positive comments from other people too... always nice to get compliments! Thanks Paul... finances permitting, I'll be back for more this year!

Hi Paul, you did my first tattoo many years ago, i was helping you out in another shop (taking calls ect)and we talked about tattoo's because i didn't like them. You Answered all my question’s which they was many of them and you shown me the room where you do the tattooing and the equipment and I was impressed (very impressed), so I asked about a tattoo on my Toe and with a cocktail stick you wrote my name Sue and added a little daisy to it. Well that was the start of my love for tattoos and then you did a bigger tattoo on my lower back. I love my tattoos....thank you Paul xxx Hope you are fine and things are going good for you? Thanks again Paul love Susie xxx
