A new tattoo and piercing studio has opened in Sudbury, turning the owners dreams in a "true life reality."
Under the Skin opened its doors in the Suffolk town on March 11, and offers tattoos, body piercings and aesthetic treatments such as lip filler and wrinkle filler.
They will also offer lashes at a later date.
The business has been set up by friends Jenna-Lee Fourie-Cook, 32, and Rochelle King, 33, who met over 10 years ago when Jenna-Lee went to Rochelle for her first tattoo.
Jenna-Lee's husband Oli Cook has also been involved in getting the space ready, having completely renovated the space.
Jenna-Lee said: "We are both beyond excited about being able to make our dreams a true life reality.
Once the decision to actually open the studio had been made it seemed to just happen so quickly.
"It has been a very daunting idea for us both but we truly believe that this is the right thing to do and we can't wait to welcome everyone."
The pair have run independent businesses for some time, building up a client base, but this is the first time the duo have combined and owned their own studio.
"We wanted to create a bespoke experience for our clients, a clean, calm, friendly studio that is laid back and welcoming.
"For both of us, we also wanted to show our children that you really can achieve your dreams if you work hard and put your mind to it.
"We would both like to thank all of our customers old and new for continuing to support and trust us, and for following us into this new venture."
Under the Skin is now open in North Street, Sudbury, and is open Monday to Friday 9.30 - 2.30, and Saturday by appointment only.
