I run the longest established, registered professional Tattoo Studio in the East Durham, with over 40 years experience.
There are two award winning resident tattoo artists:- Eddie Hardiman and his daughter in law Beverley Hardiman - who has been fully trained by Eddie for over 10 years and she is very competent in her own right.
The studio offers a very friendly welcome, to customers both old and new. With many thousands of designs from around the world by legendary tattoo artists, covering all styles and subjects.
Both Eddie and Bev can both offer true custom tattooing as they are both accomplished artists, so whether you are planning a full bodysuit, or a one - off tattoo designed especially for you, you are in the right place.
You can browse at your leisure, without any pressure , you can ask any questions without the fear of attitude, as our shop manager:- Trudy is always available, if need be she can consult the artists on your behalf and arrange a free consultation with the artist of your choice, she will then arrange an appointment to suit your needs. Don't expect to be tattooed the same day, as the studio is very popular and always busy.
Eddie runs the studio by an appointment only system which is beneficial to the customer, this saves customers sitting hours in the studio, only to be told " Sorry, we are finished for the day ". You're guaranteed to be tattooed with an appiontment.
We work to very strict codes of conduct, which are up and above those laid down by H.M. Government, which means all customers benefit from having their own equipment:- i.e. needles, colour, gloves, transfer, razor, creams, waste bag, tissues, table and chair coverings - all of which are gauranteed sterile.
Both of our artists are truly passionate and committed to tattooing, they won't just bullshit you, for you to part with your money, they will discuss your ideas's with you, and give you sound advice based on experience. Both artists can refuse anyone without giving reasons - they wont just do anything for the cash. Its their good reputations that are at stake and that won't be compromised.
We are registered with H.M. Government, Public Health Authority, A.P.T.A., E.T.A.F., T.C.G.B., E.T.A.A., T.C.J., F.S.B. , etc.
