A Nottinghamshire couple have opened a business in their town centre where everyone is welcome. Rebel Base officially opened its doors on Victoria Street, Newark on Wednesday, 22 February, and operates as a tattoo shop, coffee lounge, nail bar and art shop.
Owners Mickey Buff, 30, and Stuart Bell, 41, aim to make the business a "welcoming safe space for absolutely anyone." Explaining what made them want to open the business, Mickey explained: "We had a tattoo shop in Tuxford, and we live in Newark so we moved it to Newark because it made sense.
"I've always worked in cafes and stuff like that and nails, and we only got married in August, so we have kind of merged our professions. We just really wanted it to be someone that people can come, whether they are having a tattoo or not, and just hang out as that's the vibe we've gone for, it feels more like a living room in the front.
