Tattoos & Body Piercing Edinburgh
Tattoo removal and reduction
Let’s face it, sometimes we have a tattoo that we decide isn’t “Me” anymore or we want to change our ink for something done better.
Tattoos are not permanent.
They can be lightened with a few sessions enabling a new piece to be done on top or completely removed. It just takes time, patience and a laser.
Lightening a tattoo for a cover up may only take a couple of sessions.
Biohacking NFC chip – these small implants use near field communication (NFC) technology, the same as in contact less credit cards or mobile payments. When activated by a reader a few centimeters away, a small amount of data flows between the two devices via electromagnetic waves. The implants are “passive”, meaning they contain information that other devices can read, but cannot read information themselves.
This implant is the first one we have done. The guinea pig is a friend of mine who wanted an NFC chip implanted in his right hand that deactivates the immobiliser on his motorbike.
The procedure is straightforward and the implanted chip has settled and healed very quickly.
Please contact us if you are interested in this procedure.

Day of the Dead Girl Tattoo by Matt Curtis
Ryan; “I really wanted a Sugar Skull tattoo but then my sister mentioned the Sugar Skull Girl. I looked for a couple of months until I found a design that I liked. I showed it to Matt Curtis who completely redesigned it. It doesn’t represent anything I just felt it was a really powerful image”
Within the Western culture, skulls usually depict the dark, macabre and gruesome death. The sugar skulls’ origin (or calaveras de azucar) springs from Mexico. Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) is a Mexican holiday, celebrated on the 1st and 2nd November in connection with the Catholic holidays of All Saint’s Day and All Hollow’s Day. Sugar skulls are made from clay moulded sugar and decorated with feathers coloured beads, foils and icing are often used to decorate the gravestones of the deceased. The symbolism of a sugar skull is rooted in the decoration around the eyes. Flowers are meant to symbolize life, while cob webs symbolize death. Burning candles set inside the eyes are a sign of remembrance.
