Richard The Boss:
Inspiration:
I've always had a love for art and especially body art. I was very fortunate at the age of 21 in the year 1981 to meet "the Don" Ed Hardy and to be tattooed by him and was blown away with his techniques and the changes he made to almost everything in the tattoo industry. The image below is the tattoo he did for me freehanded in 20 minutes. As you can see the tattoo is still in good shape mainly because he chose a good part of skin which is on my inner forearm and hence kept out of sunlight. From that moment on I always had this dream of becoming a tattooist and thanks to him I fulfilled my dream.

The Facts:
I have been tattooing and piercing for 10 years and love every minute of it, running the business is the hard part. I can honestly say I just love to tattoo anything from a simple outline of a star upwards as long as I am busy putting ink into skin, very few people are fortunate enough to be as happy in their work as I am. It's very rewarding to see people's faces when you have finished the tattoo and they look at it for the first time, I guess I get most satisfaction from making people happy and giving them professional advice. The example below gave me great pleasure to put a smile on this customers face. It was supposed to be a cover up but he made a big mistake of having this tattoo done whilst on holiday thinking he was going to get a good tattoo at a cheap price. It goes to show that you should check out the quality of the work thoroughly before considering marking your skin. It has not turned out to be a cheap tattoo. There are no such things as cheap tattoos. In Adrenalin we aim to give top quality work at a very fair price. This job was so rewarding to see the customers face when the tattoo was finished and now he is able to take his T-shirt off again!! Being a successful business we are VAT registered, so our prices for tattoos and piercings are inclusive of VAT.

She is so reassuring to all customers and highly knowledgeable about the piercing industry and techniques. Nat just loves work, she hates having days off and is a pure workaholic, she has various tattoos in different places on her body so she knows what goes where and can give very good advice to customers on tattoos, piercings or tattoo piercing combinations. She is the main stay of Adrenalin with all her customer relation skills and her knowledge on a PC. Most of the piercings you can view on the piercing gallery are done by Nat including the Elephants Trunk which you will find on the genital piercing gallery

Alice:
Alice has been part of the Adrenalin team for 4 years. After completing her art degree she knew where her future was and her goal in life was to tattoo. After a very short time she picked up the basics of assisting customers with designs and was also trained to pierce by Nat, she took to both trades like a duck to water and worked very hard to get to where she is today. Below is a photo of her very 1st tattoo, impressed?? The study of art, listening and practising has certainly paid off here.
Again, Alice can put any customer at ease and is totally devoted to teamwork and I’m sure she enjoys coming to work here every day!!

After years of trying various trades he finally managed to achieve his goal by entering into the tattoo industry. Neil enjoys all aspects of tattooing but his real passion lies in traditional Japanese work anywhere any size on the body. Neil is capable of tattooing anything and just loves to be busy working in an industry that he loves as we all do. Happy days!!
