It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dean Shelton on the 5th April following a prolonged illness. Dean died at home as per his wishes with his family around him. The studio meant so much to Dean, as did his customers, many of whom became friends. We would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their custom over the years as well as peoples thoughts and well wishes over recent times. We will post details of the funeral arrangements once they are made.

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've posted any updates on the studio and my health, unfortunately due to a noticeable change in my health I've been left with no option to close the studio, I believe this will be permanent. Honestly it's been amazing to do my job and meet so many good people. Thanks to everyone Dean.

Does anyone fancy a Halloween tattoo, pick one and I'll do you a good price, please don't ask for a quote over the Internet, msg me and call into the studio, I'm only tattooing genuine customers, no tyre kickers 🤣🤣

I'd like to thank everyone for the support and understanding but I have to apologise to anyone who I've not replied to or I've missed your appointment, these last few months I've struggled dealing with my cancer, hopefully this will change again soon and I'll be back to my efficient self 🤣🤣 or I'll get better at lying 😉 thanks again

Looking like traditional work is gaining popularity, timeless art.

I really enjoy doing traditional work, I did the snake today and the plague doctor a few days before, that's almost healed. Dean.

Hi everyone I'm keep getting asked from customers if I'm taking bookings and am i still tattooing,,, the answer is yes to both, sorry if any of my previous messages have been confusing but I thought I'd made it clear I'm not working every day but I am working and I'll answer any questions you may have. Thanks Dean.

Hi guys, I just want to say again I'm only doing bookings for tattoos on fb at the moment, I'm still not out of the woods with my treatment so that's the reason but hopefully soon I'll be able to turn on the shop phone and do walk ins again, thanks for your patience. Dean 💪
