British rock band, Pulled Apart by Horses, and Sam label boss at Transgressive Records recently visited the shop – to put an end to a ‘drunken bet’. Lee, drummer for Pulled Apart by Horses agreed to have a portrait of  Sam, tattooed on him if Transgressive Records signed the band. Pulled Apart by Horses got signed and Nick Reid was more than happy to ensure the last part of the deal was signed in ink.

A new (weekend) face at Skunx Tattoo

Hanna

Born and raised in London’s East End, Hannah, our new weekend receptionist loves punk music, politics and football, not necessarily in that order. She also makes a mean cup of tea if you ask nicely. A one-time winner of The Weakest Link, Hannah’s friendly face is one of the first things you’ll see if you pop into the shop at weekends.
