I am a fully qualified, licensed & insured Artistic & Medical Tattooist in Holmfirth West Yorkshire. I specialise in creating realistic permanent 3D Nipple Tattoos which won’t fade away or require constant top-ups, unlike cosmetic or NHS nipple tattoos. You can view my 3D Nipple Tattoo Gallery here.
My dedicated 3D Nipple Tattoo site with much more information is here…
Holmfirth is a picturesque little town, just outside Huddersfield. Its an ideal location for a tattoo studio as it is centrally located between Sheffield, Leeds and Manchester and easily reached from Cheshire, Liverpool, Bradford, the Midlands, Lincolnshire, North Yorkshire, The Lake District, Cumbria and surrounding areas. My Tattoo Studio is located 5 minutes outside Holmfirth Town Centre in a quiet village with ample parking. No need to battle busy inner city traffic.
Probably best known as the location for the vintage comedy “Last of The Summer Wine”, the countryside around Holmfirth is beautiful and perfect for walking. The town itself has many nice shops, pubs and restaurants. Many clients, if coming from a long distance, book into one of the local hotels and make a mini-break of their visit. The establishments below come recommended by locals and clients who have visited.
Places to stay
The Bridge Inn
Recently refurbished so nice and fresh. Centrally located. Beer garden area outside the front to sit and have a drink on a sunny day and watch the world go by.
The Huntsman
Nice pub and accommodation and food. A little further away [10-15 minutes to my studio] Can get a bit wild in winter as its up on the moor but stunning views and cosy fires with armchairs.
Red Lion Pub – Jackson Bridge
Just down the road from my studio. Basic local pub with simple but nice food, good accommodation, atmosphere and a fine range of beers. Nice landlords. Highly recommended by clients who stayed there.
The Old Brewhouse Air B&B
Run by my lovely friend Jez and a really nice little self contained accommodation. It is up a very steep hill though if you have any trouble walking but perfectly located for both Holmfirth town centre and my Studio.
