Happy Anniversary to Caz and Su. We are blessed to call you friends and hope your day is as beautiful are you both are.

We promise that our love and admiration for you is more than just cranberry stuffed sausage rolls and cheesy pastries. It’s the happiness in your auras, and the sparkle that surrounds you that got us hooked from the very beginning.

Have a wonderful day.

❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜

We need more playlist help…

We’ve done women’s names, and we don’t think anything can beat the sheer volume of songs that we collectively came up with. Great job btw!

So let’s go with colours and numbers this time around. This can be a song title, lyric or artist name suggestion. No cheating by searching. All songs will be added to the playlist which we will of course share with you.

Have fun with it and as usual, drop us a DM with any tattoo or piercing enquiries.

A little look at some of what’s been happening for Nic in the studio over the past week. 🖤

Matthew, Laura and super-regular Ryan have all been keeping her busy. Between the tattoos, there’s been chatting, laughing, oversharing and basic therapy all round. 😂

That’s one of her favourite parts of what she does. Making epic tattoos, but also spending her days with brilliant people, hearing their stories and watching friendships grow along the way.

There’s also been a handful of piercings happening in the studio, because apparently she’s incapable of letting the week pass without adding a little more chaos. 😂

And amongst all of that, we had a pretty special moment last Sunday… we won Best Tattoo Artist at the Best of Welsh Business Awards! 🏆

It still feels a bit surreal, and it genuinely means so much to us as a studio. A massive thank you to everyone who supports us, books with us, recommends us, likes, comments and follows along with what we do. We really wouldn’t be here without you. ❤️

And finally, a little booking reminder…

Nic is now booking into mid April next year. So if you’ve been thinking about getting booked in, please don’t leave it until the last minute — future you will thank you. Promise

We’ve taken the day to let this one sink in. 🥹

Last night, we had the absolute pleasure of accepting the Best Tattoo Artist award at the Best of Welsh Business Awards. 🏆

Of course, we applied together and we work incredibly closely, so this win belongs to every single person who makes our studio what it is. ❤️

We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built together, and this award feels like recognition of all the hard work, creativity and support that goes on behind the scenes every day.

We genuinely can’t thank our clients enough for their continued support. Our studio is home to an incredible tattoo community, and the people who walk through our doors are a huge part of what makes it what it is.

It was also extra special to share the room with so many friends who were celebrating their own business successes. We’ve never cheered so much for other people! 🥹

To everyone who won, and everyone who didn’t, we’re so proud to watch you all out there achieving greatness. 🥂

And finally, thank you. Not just for the votes, but for the continuous custom, online support and recommendations that keep our little corner of the tattoo world thriving.

We shamelessly stole his team photo because it was too good not to. 😂 And, as if that wasn’t enough, he picked up an award in the same category too!

Honestly… we’re a bit of a dream team. 🖤

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 🏆✨

We have a spare ticket for the Best of Welsh Business Awards tomorrow (Sunday) night! 🥂

Fancy getting dressed up, eating a 3-course meal, drinking something lovely and clapping enthusiastically at people you may or may not know? 😂

If you think you can cope with us for a whole evening and fancy joining the chaos, drop us a message!

Between us and our friends, we’ve got 2 tables of 10, so we’re genuinely intrigued to see who fancies coming along and making a night of it. 👀

📍 The Village Hotel, Cardiff
👗 Dress fancy
🍽️ 3 courses
👏 Lots of clapping
🥂 Questionable levels of sophistication

You’ve likely seen Nic’s updates on her large project client Ryan, but we promise she still works on other clients too.

Here’s a few from the past week.

Daniel came in for his first tattoo with Ryan this week

The tattoo carries a big personal meaning and for a first timer he smashed it, pushing through the last hour and whites with gritted teeth!

Look forward to seeing you for your next one 🤘🏻
