    Established in 1996 as a professional body-piercing studio, Absolution built its reputation on a combination of a hygienic approach, modern fit-out and professional and personable staff.

    In 2004 the studio extended its services to include tattooing.

    Absolution is dedicated to the clean and artistic application of tattoos and body jewellery. The space also doubles as a contemporary art gallery featuring revolving exhibitions. Visit Absolution’s website for the latest exhibition.

    Owner Naith Morrow says: “The studio is designed to be inviting and provides exhibition space for both hanging art and sculpture. Body jewellery is presented on plinths to reinforce the concept that body adornment and art are cohesive.

    “We use only the highest-quality products available, sourcing brands that are internationally recognised. Our relevant experience, combined with the conscientious approach we take to raising industry standards, all add up to setting us apart from other studios.”
