Amazing experience at Skin creation, I felt very welcome here. I am over the moon with my third tattoo now! What an amazing talented guy John is, and his wife Kate is such a star. I will be returning on the 4/02/26 for another tattoo which I am very excited about.

I cannot thank Kate and John enough. I asked for a consultation for a cover up of a horrendous tattoo. I sent pictures and a few messages. I was asked if I could go in for a consult which I did. As a result, I had a session booked with a solid plan in mind. John went above and beyond whilst Kate took the time to chat to me, organise everything and just be great company. It was the first tattoo experience where I felt relaxed, welcomed and listened to from a creative perspective. The studio is immaculate and spacious with lots of different designs on show. Not to mention the plethora of awards John has won on display. A great experience with kindness and exceptional talent at the forefront of everything that they do

I’ve been going to Skin Creation for a while now, and I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough! From my very first visit, Kate and John were super friendly and made me feel completely at ease — now I genuinely feel like part of the Skin Creation family. 😀🙌 John is a master of his craft and can literally tattoo anything. Their designs are fantastic, and the high colour saturation in their work is honestly the best I’ve seen in Cardiff or even at any tattoo convention. If you’re looking for bold, vibrant tattoos that hold up beautifully over time, Skin Creation is the place to go.
