Such a good artist, I've always wanted a tattoo but never had the guts to get one done, as I'm a wuss when it comes to anything involving pain. From the moment I got to the studio Dan made me feel at ease in fact at times during the tattoo he even had me laughing! Love my tattoo and would defiantly recommend Dan! Read Less

In a business that is nowadays sadly riddled with unprofessionalism and mediocrity, Rookstar Tattoo stands out from the crowd like a white filling in a mouthful of rotten teeth. Founded solely by the artistry of Dan Rooke in the humble beginnings of his bedroom (which also served as his studio), Dan worked tirelessly to raise the funds that would eventually secure his current premises in Acomb. In a relatively short space of time Dan has deservedly acquired an elevated reputa...tion and his artistry is widely recognised as some of the finest, not only locally but nationwide. Rookstar Tattoo is somewhat unique and does not compromise on quality, distancing itself from the widely offered and often poorly administered 'flash' tattoos that are typically found in catalogues that adorn many a studio wall. Instead offering a high quality service in which the customer can discuss their ideas with Dan, sometimes having nothing more than a vague notion of what they want to envisage in their tattoo, which he always seems to capture in his unique, custom designs. Due to the enormous popularity Rookstar Tattoo now enjoys there is a lengthy waiting list to be inked by this undoubtedly talented artist but if you want real quality artwork then it is definitely worth the wait.
