Well, After searching for a new artist and shop for nearly a year, a family member got a piercing here, at the same... time I saw a flash piece of Joeys. Today I sat down for my first day session with Lee and over the moon is an understatement. Lee did the design of the tattoo completely how I wanted and watching him do the shading from memory just guaranteed the piece will be unique to me. One more session to go, but 5/5 for Skinz, Lee, Joey & Emma.read more

Lee has been amazing, I had a really terrible foot tattoo & he’s managed to cover it up. I now love my new addition & I... only wish I’d of seen Lee sooner. I visited again today to have some more shading done, it hurt like hell & I think I called him every name under the sun but he made me feel so at ease so soon enough I was happily laid there without a care in the world. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a tattoo & I’m on planning my next! Thanks Lee!read more

George Horbury
2019-01-15T23:01:41+0000
I have been tattooed by Kyeran a couple of times and would honestly recommend his services to anyone who wants a dope... tattoo. His work is out of this world and I am so happy I am able to walk around with it on my skin. He’s a chatty guy with a great sense of humour and makes the tattoo experience feel welcoming and enjoyable. I have also had the pleasure of meeting Caroline who has tattooed both my girlfriend and my mother. She’s fantastic and her work is unbelievable. I am sad he has left Hull but as a loyal client, and with the quality of the tattoos Kyeran is able to deliver, I will definitely be travelling to get my work done. To any first time tattooees or experienced hardened tattoo vets, I would 1000% recommended both these guys for your tattoo needs!read more
