“But with the new unit at the Ridings we will now be able to offer more walk-ins, with the increased footfall. As well as offering laser tattoo removal and body piercings."

There will also be a raffle, which will cost £5 to enter, to win a day’s worth of tattooing, with the proceeds going to Wakefield Hospice.

Danny added: “Myself and some of the other tattoo artists will be raffling off a full day of tattooing for free, with a £5 donation to Wakefield Hospice.

"We have raised some money for the charity before and so plan to build on what we’ve done previously.”

The new studio will be found in a unit in the upper mall of The Ridings, next to the Vodafone shop and will be open from 10am to 5pm on the opening day.
