Resident artist to join new studio in Stevenage

We are premium fine line and microrealism tattoo studio based in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. We are a new studio, that is growing rapidly and we are after a new artist to join the team. This is a very relaxed studio vibe, our whole ethos is to be customer first and give them the best experience where they feel comfortable, not initimidated, and in a safe place to get their meaningful tattoos. We will only have a max of two artists in the space as we feel that gives off a more relaxed and private vibe, but we also have a laser removal room that will eventually do laser/hair removal and maybe SMPU. It's a very homely feel studio and people always comment on how calm and homely it feels, so thats the vibe we're after. We say we specialise in fine line and microrealism, but were open to other styles that fit that sort of delicate and meaningful vibe too. We have a nice waiting area and areas you can sit and design or have consultations with your clients etc. We just want a sort of family feel here :)
