Skins & Needles tattoo & piercing studio in short

Skins & Needles tattoo & piercing studio is a small Stirchley studio working from Beckbury Drive with a clear phone contact and published hours across five days. Our judgement is that it suits straightforward local work: tattoos and piercings close to home without crossing town. If you live nearby and want a small studio rather than a high-street shop, Skins & Needles fits that brief.

Customers rate Skins & Needles at just under five stars on Google from several dozen reviews, a tidy local record for a small studio. Beyond that listing there is little to lean on: no business website, no company record, no registration statement, no insurance details and no prices. It sits outside the ranked table for the registration gap.

Questions about Skins & Needles tattoo & piercing studio

Is Skins & Needles any good?

On the reviews, yes locally: just under five stars on Google, with a clear phone contact and published hours. It is unranked in our September round for a missing registration statement, not for bad feedback. Read the full review, then call to discuss your design.

Is Skins & Needles registered with the council?

No registration statement appears on the pages checked, so none could be sourced. The council requires tattoo and piercing operators and premises to register but publishes no searchable register. Ask to see the registration certificate in the studio, and get the answer with insurance proof in writing.

How much does Skins & Needles charge?

It publishes no prices, rates or terms on the pages checked. That means your quote does the talking: call with the design, size and placement and ask for a figure. Confirm the deposit terms and what the price covers in writing before you agree anything.

Where does Skins & Needles work?

The studio works from Beckbury Drive in Stirchley, serving Telford. There is no business website, so contact runs by phone and message. Call with your postcode and design idea to check it suits you, and ask for opening hours and the registration certificate on the same call.

How is Skins & Needles ranked?

It is not in the ranked table: no registration statement appears on the pages checked, so the registration requirement fails. Several other researched studios sit outside it for the same reason. Read the full review, and only book if the missing paperwork does not trouble you.
