A NEW tattoo shop has hit Taunton's East Reach boasting award-winning tattoo artists with a wealth of experience inside.
If you’ve decided on your first tattoo or want to add to your body art collection, one of the toughest decisions is where to get it done, well now there is one extra in Taunton.
Woody's Tattoo Studio has opened up in Taunton replacing Rockstar Tattoo.
Owned by talented tattoo artist Jamie Wood, better known as Woody, the new shop is in safe hands as Woody has been working at Rockstar Tattoo for over eight years.
Woody agreed to terms with the former owner of Rockstar Tattoo before taking over in August of last year.
However, it was only until today that Woody truly made the business feel like his own.
Speaking after its opening, Woody said: "This is the proudest day of my life!!!
"It's officially Woody's!!!
"I can't thank the people who got me here enough. Thank you all for the continued custom, love, and support."
Speaking about their experience with Woody, one customer, named Amanda, had a great experience with the artist and left a review about the Taunton artist.
Amanda got a tattoo with Woody at Rockstar Tattoo, the former business in operation where Woodys now resides.
Amanda said: "Very happy with the service I received here. Lovely airy room and plenty of seating.
"Woody was a great artist and executed my design beautifully.
"One happy chick!"
You can find Woody's Tattoo Studio next to Dreamcuts Barbers at 1 East Reach, Taunton, TA1 3EN.
Woody has plans for the future of his namesake business and has been humble about the business growth since he took over the reins.
The tattoo artist is growing his business online, with customers able to enquire about booking via Instagram and Facebook.
Woody confirmed that he is hoping to continue his success with his "talented" team into the new year and further.
Woody said: "We've got a solid team here and the former owner (of Rockstar Tattoo) is joining me to continue with the business.
"I've been here for eight years and I'm so happy to be taking over and having a business to call my very own.
"I've owned the place (Woody's Tattoo Studio) since August 2023 so it's been over a year now, but with the new sign and different interior, it finally feels like my own place.
"As of today (October 29) we are open for business, so come in and pop by."
