As you may know the government gave the go ahead for tattoo shops to re-open from the 13th of July. What a relief that was!

The worrying thing is that doing a quick google search shows 10 out of top 16 tattoo shops in and around Soho still haven’t re-opened their doors for business ten days later!   Black Garden Tattoo , Diamond Jacks Tattoo Parlour , Tattoo Shop By Dan Gold , Wildfire Tattoo Collective , One by one , Bananajims , 33 Marshall Street , Tattoo concept store , Natasha Rachel Tattoos and Evaldas Gulbinas all marked as temporarily closed still!

It’s true to say some may not have updated their google profile but it’s unlikely that applies to a significant number. If you are reading this and know for a fact that some are incorrectly marked as closed, please let the tattoo shop know, it could potentially be damaging their business further.

Maybe some have a different re-opening strategy but undoubtedly , and of course sadly , some won’t be re-opening at all.
