A message from Ben Doran, proprietor of the River City Tattoo Collective:
Nine years down, countless left.
Where River City Tattoo Collective – Warminster started and where we are now.
Nine years ago today I opened what was my second shop at the time in a tiny little unit in the bottom end of Warminster [ 11a Silver Street].
A few years later, we expanded and moved right up in to the centre of town in a tremendous location and unit [2 Market Place].
I am so very lucky to have such a great town to work in with great community support and to have such an amazing team grafting their backsides off making better lives for themselves and showing the town that you can in fact get great work from the town.
Thank you to all our wonderful clients, you keep the wheels rolling and thank you to all my wonderful staff, you’re some of my greatest friends.
Without you, there is nothing.
Yours sincerely, your local grumpy, coil-welding, scab-vending, foul-mouthed, brass-necked, bike-riding, weight-lifting, knuckle-dragging, eternally grateful and infinitely lucky, Ben Doran.
