Which of these 10 tattoo places is the best in Wirral to get inked?

WHEN it comes to getting inked, what’s your favourite design?

A small heart or cross, a significant date or name, or maybe you’d opt for something bigger like a lion or tiger.

How about a Celtic design with knots and scrolls or a nautical themed tattoo with stars that has grown in popularity in recent years.

So far in our Best of 2024 competition, we’ve searched for Wirral’s best in nine categories.

We’ve looked at hair, nails and fitness as well as pies, roast dinner and fish and chips, with awards for breakfast, cocktails and beer gardens.

This week, it’s tattoos and we know it will be no easy feat to choose a winner which is why we’ll be handing over the final decision to those who know best – our readers.
