If you live in Polesworth and you've been travelling miles to find a decent tattoo artist, I've got great news — you don't have to anymore. I'm Josh Griffiths, tattooist and owner of Beyond The Needle, and I'm based right here in the local area. I've been creating custom pieces for clients from Polesworth, Tamworth, Measham, and all the villages in between.
Why Polesworth Residents Choose Beyond The Needle
Polesworth is a tight-knit community, and word travels fast. That's exactly why Josh puts everything into every tattoo he creates. His reputation is built on repeat clients and personal referrals — people who are proud to show off their ink and happy to tell their friends where they got it done.
We offer:
✓ Fully custom designs — nothing is copied or recycled from other clients.
✓ Free consultations — we'll sit down (in person or via message) and work through your idea together.
✓ Flexible appointments — including some weekend and evening availability.
✓ Honest pricing — clear quotes upfront, no surprises.
What Kind of Tattoos Can You Get in Polesworth?
Living in a smaller community doesn't mean you have to settle for limited options. We cover a full range of tattoo styles:
Fine line florals and botanicals. Black and grey portraiture and realism. Geometric and dotwork designs. Bold traditional tattoos. Script and lettering. Cover-ups and reworks of old tattoos. Memorial and tribute pieces.
Whatever you have in mind, we're confident we can bring it to life.
A Word on Cover-Up Tattoos
One of the most common requests we get from clients in Polesworth and across Tamworth is cover-up work — turning an old tattoo that no longer reflects who you are into something you're genuinely excited about. Cover-ups require careful planning and a skilled hand. We'll always be honest with you about what's achievable and design something that works with your existing ink, not against it.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment with Josh
If it's your first tattoo — or your first time visiting Beyond The Needle — here's what to expect. Josh will welcome you in a clean, calm environment. He'll walk through the design with you and make any final tweaks before starting. You'll be talked through aftercare before you leave, and Josh is always on hand if you have questions during healing.
