THE co-owner of a new Flintshire-based tattoo shop has praised the 'warm welcome' the business has received from the community.

Angels and Demons is based on Victoria Square in Holywell.

The business officially opened on November 18 and offers tattoo and piercing services.

It is owned by Abby Towler, who does the piercing, and Kev Roberts, who does the tattooing and previously ran his own studio in New Brighton for over a decade.

Abby said: "We have had a huge warm welcome from the community and the continued support of our previous customers that have followed us here, so have done really well in our first couple of weeks, and no doubt will continue to do so.

"Me and Kev are not from Holywell ourselves, but having friends and family from here I have always felt close and at home in Holywell."

Also on the team is junior tattoo artist Joe Collins, who started out as Kev's apprentice while at another studio previously.

Abby explained that the studio takes its name from its uniquely designed shop.

She said: "The concept on Angels and Demons was that the front part, which is reception and piercings would be the 'Angel' part, which is very light and floral, then going into the tattoo area is the 'Demon' part, which is where the tattooing is done, and is very dark and demonic."

Abby added: "We are so grateful to all our family, friends, and tradesman James Townson, that helped us with the renovations of the shop and getting it ready, and most importantly Holywell for welcoming us with open arms."
