The Human Canvas

I love this place! The initial appearance of the studio is beautiful. The reception area is very welcoming and friendly, yet elegantly gothic at the same time. Martin’s (the tattooist) artwork is lining the walls and every piece is as stunning as the next, showing his talents are just as amazing off the skin as on. Martine is the wife of Martin and handles the reception desk. She also does semi-​pemament make up and as far as I’m aware, ear piercing. I was welcomed with such a warm attitude. So pleasant, professional and the type of person you could go in just to have a chat with. We’ve all experienced going into a tattoo parlour and being greeted by some stuck up git that gives the impression he doesn’t have time to help you with piecing together your ideas (we’re not all artists)! But I went here with a rough guideline and Martin helped me make it perfect. He gave ideas and advice so I wound up with a tattoo I’ll be happy to show off for the rest of my life. I’m getting it finished pretty soon and can’t wait to go back. He did the same for my partner and we couldn’t be happier! He’s a great guy to talk to and makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed. He has examples of his work on Facebook so would strongly recommend checking him out. Prices are also affordable so all in all, quality work and better prices than most. It’s a no-​brainer really.
