Some stills of yesterday roses video 🌹⏱️🌹

Apologies for the radio silence, I’m currently still enjoying some R&R out of the country for a few more days.

I will be back in the country early next week, and back in the studio from Tuesday onwards. I still have spaces left in October for bookings, so as usual just drop me a message to book in and I will reply once I am back on U.K. soil.

Thanks again to everyone for being patient with my replies, and I will speak to you soon - Dan ✌🏻

Someone in here sounds like an owl… 🦉

Shaun was kind enough to send me a healed shot of this Spean Memorial piece for the Royal Marines I did for him a while back. Always an honour to do these kinds of pieces on servicemen and veterans 🫡

Seems I need to re post this again…

LETS CLEAR THIS UP

Recently myself and my colleagues at the studio have been getting asked the following question quite a lot, so I wanted to take a moment to clarify the answer. The questions is….

Would you/ can you tattoo an *insert age younger than 18* with parental consent?

The answer is no. Simple.

According to the ‘tattooing of minors act 1969’ it shall be an offence to tattoo a person under the age of eighteen. So that basically means that even with parental consent, if you are under the age of 18, you can’t, and won’t get tattooed, without exception.

It has come to my attention in recent months that there are tattoo studios, and kitchen tattooers in this country that “with parental consent” are willing to tattoo people under the age of 18.
So just to clarify even further… THIS IS ILLEGAL!

If an artist or studio is willing to tattoo someone under the age of 18, you have to ask yourself why? As mentioned, it is against the law even with parental consent. Any artist or studio that is willing to break the law for the sake of a few quid clearly doesn’t value their time, work or reputation, or possibly because they just don’t have a good one to begin with so are happy to break the law for the sake of a booking and some money.

So with all that being said, below are a few examples of acceptable and not acceptable forms of identification I will/ won’t accept should you be asked by me to prove your age:

-ACCEPTABLE-
Valid Passport
Driving license
HM armed forces ID

-NOT ACCEPTABLE-
Birth certificate
Any other ID card not listed above
A photo of any of the above
A sibling or mates ID
A letter from your parents
Your parents telling me in person
Your parents telling me over the phone
The fact you already have a tattoo
A beard
A photo of you in a nightclub
Car keys
A motorcycle helmet
A loyalty card for somewhere
Promising me you’re old enough
A temper tantrum when you get refused
Flattery
Tears
The list goes on….

Bottom line guys, if you’re not 18, or if you can’t prove you’re 18, you’re not getting tattooed. And please bare in mind that if you make a booking with me online and you are unable to prove your age on the day if you’re asked, I will keep your deposit, so bring ID with you.

Hope you’re all having a wonderful week, and look forward to seeing some of you soon (those of you over 18 😉)

Probably the wrong day to re post this as the weather is awful, but as summer approaches, it’s wise to take note 👀
