The studio has been operational in Tilbury for nearly 44 years, making it one of the oldest studios in Essex or England for that matter. I have had it for the last 8 and a half years. It's quite a cosy little studio, but plans are afoot to refurbish the shop next door. This will enable me to get in another tattooist and set up a separate piercing studio. At the moment, tattooing has to stop to cope with any piercings as there is not enough room. The new place should be about 4 times the size.
Progress is quite slow as I can only work on the new studio on Sunday and the odd hour during the week so I will post new photo's as some progress is made.

Progress at last! both on the new studio and on the computer at home, which now appears to be stable and behaving, so if the gods are with me I should be able to take some more pictures soon and update this section.

The new studio opened on December 11th 2004.
