Yep. I'm moving from Northamptonshire to Sheffield on the 17th, as I'm going to the University of Sheffield. I found this site through typing 'tattoo parlour sheffield' into the google search bar, I've read through a few topics but I thought I'd register and post for a bit before I move up there.

Anyway, I'm going to be staying in halls for my first year, Tapton, on Crookes Road. What can you tell me about that area of Sheffield? How close/easy is it to get in to the city centre from there?

Oh, and any info about great tattoo/piercing places would also be appreciated ;)

Welcome to the Forum! :wave:

Very easy to get into town from the Halls - bus stop just across the road and 52 bus is the most frequent in Sheffield - about 10/15 mins to town.

Hope you enjoy your time here!

Hi Kat!

Tapton hall is about 20-30 mins walk from the city centre I think.. its in a nice area of sheffield.. you've got broomhill close by which has a somerfield supermarket and lots of other useful shops, some good pubs... its one of the main student areas of sheffield.

For tattoos etc I'd recommend Feline at Hunters Bar. I had my belly pierced there (when I was at sheff university!) and they were great.

Hope you enjoy Sheffield Uni as much as I did.. (I'm one of those students that never left)

Welcome to the forum Kat :wave:

Another vote for Feline for all tattoo matters. They have loads of awards for their work :)

Hi Kat :wave:
I stayed in Tapton for 2 years (and the Uni for four), so if you have any questions about the hall or University don't hesitate to ask.

thanks for all the replies and stuff :) I'm very much looking forward to moving, from what I saw when I went on the open day, it seems like a great city.. much better than where I live now :D

And thanks for the recommendations re tattoo places :)
