A tattoo artist will be transforming his studio into a magical Christmas grotto for local families. O'Neill's Tattoo Studio will be given a festive makeover with a tree, decorations, presents and projectors beaming snowflakes onto the walls.
Santa Claus will be putting in an appearance at the one-day only event on Monday December 19 at the studio at Tudor Court in Bulwell. The shop will be closed for the whole day so it can be decked out in style. But outside is already a winter wonderland, with a giant inflatable Santa and Snowman, garlands and colourful lights.
Owner Stephen O'Neill, 43, has paid for everything out of his own money and isn't making any profit out of the event. He said: "I have wanted to do a Santa's grotto for years but with Covid and the rising cost of living it's been difficult. But this is the year to do it."
