iv heard rumours that steve from steves tatoos is dead can anyone confirm or is it lies thanks

Yes he is so sad i knew his son neil (ex bf) really really sad time r.i.p will be sadly missed and lived forever xxx

is this the steve that had the shop in town for many years (he did move from the original shop some years ago but stayed in town) or i think theres a steve in new ferry

I think it's ellesmere port.

shops closed and sign in window today

It IS the Steves in New Ferry, after reading this I had a quick look (only a few doors down) and the shop is closed with a sign in the window explaining what has happened.

A sad loss of a great talent and well respected man.

No way that's not good :-( I'm miss him like,I had great laugh with him everytime he did more work on me! Most of my ink has come from Steves in new ferry :-(

Yes as has been confirmed this very very sad rumour is true. Steve was a true and funny genuine nice guy. He was an amazing tattooist and he helped my friend be the tattooist she is today.
Out of interest what was put in the window of the shop?

The point is, he didn't live forever. I guess you meant "loved"; it's worth checking what you've written before you post.

thanks guys all my tattoos were from steve we were good friends he sadly missed thoughts go out to his family sad loss of such a nice person RIP Steve mate

notice in the window says something along the lines of;
"sorry for the short notice closure, unfortunately Steve has passed away from a sudden heart attack"

Rip, cracking bloke, I had a few cars off him

No way
He done my last tattoo about 3 months ago !
Will have a look on his website now

Wow, cracking bloke, done my 1st two tattoo's, lovely fella feel sorry for family.

I've just had a look and carnt see anything ?
Very sad

A new sign has gone up in the window.

Basically it's thanking all customers and saying that the shop will not be reopening.

I'm sure all of our thoughts are for his family now.
