Skins & Needles – The North’s Premier Ink, Beauty & Grooming Collective

​

With studios in Middlesbrough, Durham, Ingleby, and York, Skins & Needles has grown from barbering roots into a full lifestyle destination. Bringing together tattoo artistry, piercings, barbering, hairdressing, aesthetics, and laser treatments, it offers clients a creative, professional, and welcoming space.

Their award-winning tattoo studios feature resident and guest artists from across the UK and beyond, covering styles from hyper-realism and neo-traditional to black & grey, colour, and cover-ups. Sessions start at £70/hour, with walk-ins available. Laser removal and advanced aesthetics—including fillers and anti-wrinkle treatments—are delivered by expert technicians, while body piercing remains a core service with strict hygiene and curated jewellery.

Beyond treatments, Skins & Needles fosters community and self-expression, with a barbering academy, café-diner, and a vision rooted in artistry and aspiration. Today, it stands as the North’s leading collective for style, grooming, and body art.
