Questions about Skins & Needles tattoo & piercing studio
Is Skins & Needles any good?
On the evidence, yes for piercing, tattooing or permanent make-up in Stirchley: it holds 4.7 from 52 Google reviews, and its phone, address and hours agree across two directories. The gaps are paperwork: no insurance detail, no prices and no stated council registration. Read the full review and its sources, then ring the published number about your piercing.
Is Skins & Needles registered with the council?
Council registration can't be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked. Telford & Wrekin requires every piercing operator and premises to register, so ask the studio how it is registered and look for the certificate on display. You can also contact the council to confirm the name is on the roll. Settle this before you agree anything.
What does Skins & Needles charge?
No prices, rates or VAT terms are published. That means your quote does the talking: name the exact piercing and the jewellery you have in mind, and ask for the full price with the metal named. Confirm whether aftercare and any check-up sit inside the fee. Get the agreed figure before the needle comes out.
How is Skins & Needles ranked?
It carries no score in this round: only the one studio that met all three basic requirements was assessed, and this studio sits in the researched-but-not-assessed group for want of stated council registration. Its customer record is healthy all the same. If you run the studio, use the Claim a listing route to send the missing detail for the next round.
Which areas does Skins & Needles cover?
The studio works from Beckbury Drive in Stirchley, and its listed area covers Telford. That suits Stirchley and the south of the borough, with five opening days on the listings. If you travel from Wellington or the north, weigh the journey against the three-service format. Ring the published number about your piercing before you travel.
How do I get a quote from Skins & Needles?
No prices sit on the listings checked, so the call does the talking. Ring the published studio number and name the exact piercing with the jewellery you have in mind. Ask for the full price with the metal named, and whether aftercare and any check-up sit inside the fee. Get the agreed figure before the needle comes out.
What do the reviews say about Skins & Needles?
The held Google record reads 4.7 from 52 reviews, a healthy headline from a modest base. The held evidence gives the headline without quoted client detail, so read a spread of recent reviews yourself, looking for visits like the one you plan. Treat the rating as solid, and the missing paperwork as a separate question.
How does Skins & Needles compare with the others in this round?
It carries no score for want of stated council registration, sitting mid-pack on rating and volume alike in this round. The assessed studio, Hello Beautiful, wins on paperwork with stated registration, stated cover and published prices. Our judgement is that this is the steady-listings-against-paperwork choice. Read both cards before you decide.
