Don\u2019t worry, Valkyrie Tattoo Studio aren\u2019t shutting their doors for good – they\u2019re only moving two minutes down the road<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With tattoos on the rise in the UK, Cathays-based Valkyrie<\/a>\u00a0Tattoo Studio\u00a0are moving to a bigger shop on Woodville Road at the beginning of next month.<\/p>\n

Established by Justin Oldham in 2013, the studio houses four tattoo artists who specialise in creating original designs for their customers.<\/p>\n

After years of success in his cramped studio on Crwys Road, Justin decided it was time to move the business to a larger space on Woodville Road. He said: \u201cThe studio is our home. We pretty much spend most of our lives at our work, hence the move really – we want to make things better for ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new studio will be opening on 9 December<\/a> and promises to capture the spirit of Valkyrie with mural painting, a Kat Von D makeup<\/a> stand and (most importantly) candyfloss Prosecco. The event will also feature a burlesque show from Cardiff\u2019s Hourglass Entertainment.<\/p>\n

Gemma Gray, co-founder and production developer for Hourglass Entertainment<\/a>, claims her burlesque <\/a>dancers will bring \u201cthe sultry, the satirical, and the splendour\u201d to Valkyrie\u2019s circus-themed opening on Woodville Road.<\/p>\n
