The Branding Iron Tattoo Studio is located at 30, Water Street, Skipton.

Rob is the owner and has been open for one year now.

Rob also helps charity organisations with fund raising.

The studio is lovely and relaxing 🙂

SKIPTON MARKET RE-OPENING @skiptonmarket will re- SKIPTON MARKET RE-OPENING @skiptonmarket will re-open on Wednesday 10th June between 10am - 4pm. To ensure both traders and shops on the High Street can comply with social distancing and to ensure the High Street is as safe as possible there will be a full road closure on Skipton High Street between 10am - 4pm. The market stalls will face towards the road and social distancing measures will be in place for each stall. Going forward Skipton Market will now be operating on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays between 10am - 4pm. We are looking forward to welcoming our traders back to our beautiful market town, and we hope local residents can support both our market traders and businesses in town to help keep Skipton thriving! Full risk assessments have been carried out for the market and each individual stall and we would like to ensure everyone that we are making sure the market will be as safe a place as possible. We will be running a consultation in the next few weeks to get residents views on the Market and see what additional stalls and products they would like to see on Skipton Market in the future. It's important to us that we continue to serve our community where possible. We look forward to welcoming you back! . . . . . . . #skipton #skiptonmarket #visitskipton #yorkshire #yorkshiredales #northyorkshire #northyorks #welcometoskipton #craven #independent #shoplocal
@jodenison LOCKDOWN PROJECT Walkers are busier dur @jodenison LOCKDOWN PROJECT Walkers are busier during lockdown but in different ways than usual. Regular customers have continued their support, which they hope will continue. They had to close their café and are now selling more wholesale to other village shops. When lockdown happened, owner Avis Walker felt that many of their customers were frightened to go out, so Walkers teamed up with Stanforths just over the road on Mill Bridge Corner to offer a delivery service, bringing meat and veg boxes, baked goods, eggs and flour to their customers’ doorstep.

@jodenison LOCKDOWN PROJECT The first weekend of @jodenison LOCKDOWN PROJECT The first weekend of lockdown Stanforths was really busy trying to cope with panic buying, mainly of chicken. But owner Paul Shearer realised quickly that they would need to diversify as the passing trade they usually relied upon had gone with lockdown. They already had an online service and a van so offering home delivery was straightforward, teaming up with the other Mill Bridge businesses, Walkers and Wrights Wine and also Class 1 to offer a complete delivery package of meat, bakery, wine and veg to the local community. Now as the weeks have gone on, they have gained new regular customers in the shop, who they are starting to know by name and they want to continue with the home delivery service. Paul is really appreciative of all the local support and cooperation. He feels that people have been putting their differences aside and helping each other out.

@jodenison LOCKDOWN PROJECT Kane Pulford-Roberts s @jodenison LOCKDOWN PROJECT Kane Pulford-Roberts set up The Club House in 2018. It’s a café not exclusively but especially catering for cyclists, where they can bring their bikes inside and hang them safely on racks while enjoying a post ride coffee, snacks and chats. When Covid hit and the café closed Kane began experimenting with his newly acquired coffee roasting qualification. Initially, he roasted small batches of organic or rainforest alliance and fair-trade certified coffee for friends and family, but through word of mouth demand has grown really fast. Kane is still doing small fresh roasts but he is now supplying country-wide, all in biodegradable or recyclable packaging. @theclubhousecoffee . . . . . . . #aopmembersathome #aopmemberswithvision #aopmemberarchive #aopcovid19response #scenefromhome  #independentshops #skipton #yorkshiredales #shoplocal #supportthehighstreet #foodphotograper #community #lifestyle #followshoutoutlikecomment #localheros #covid19 #highstreet #real #honest #skipton #skiptonmarket #welcometoskipton @assocphoto @equallens @f22aop @iskipton @visitskipton @Craven Herald & Pioneer @welcometoyorkshire @yorkshirelifemag @bbcyorkshire @yorkshiretimes @theyorkshirepost @telegraph_argus_bradford @weare_theallies

@dmbutchers @jodenison LOCKDOWN PROJECT Adam Proc @dmbutchers @jodenison LOCKDOWN PROJECT Adam Proctor and Alex Woolmore have worked for Drake and Macefield for 16 years and 10 years. They have been much busier in lockdown with lots of new and younger customers. On the first weekend with all the panic buying happening they sold one month’s worth of beef in two days. They started offering a home delivery service for their older customers so they wouldn’t have to go out. Surprisingly, while their regulars wouldn’t stay away, it's been the younger generation that has embraced the on-line shop, but for different reasons. When the panic buying first drove the new, younger customers into the shop, it was a new way of shopping for them.  They were used to buying their meat pre-packaged in the supermarkets and seemed to be uncomfortable not quite knowing what to order or how much. The online service has lowered that hurdle and Adam and Alex are hopeful that many of their new customers will stay with them in the future past lockdown. . . . . . . . . . . . . #aopmembersathome #aopmemberswithvision #aopmemberarchive #aopcovid19response #scenefromhome  #independentshops #skipton #yorkshiredales #shoplocal #supportthehighstreet #foodphotograper #community #lifestyle #followshoutoutlikecomment #localheros #covid19 #highstreet @assocphoto @equallens @f22aop @iskipton @visitskipton @Craven Herald & Pioneer @welcometoyorkshire @yorkshirelifemag @bbcyorkshire @yorkshiretimes @theyorkshirepost @telegraph_argus_bradford @weare_theallies
@elsworthkitchen @jodenison LOCKDOWN PROJECT Bruc @elsworthkitchen @jodenison LOCKDOWN PROJECT Bruce and Rebecca Elsworth of Elsworth Kitchen run a restaurant where they champion local and seasonal food. To be able to react to what produce is freshly available, their set-menu changes every week. When lockdown closed restaurants they started running a home delivery service supplying their usual full multi-course menu to their customers at home every Friday evening, enlisting the help of friends and family as delivery drivers. It was an instant success. The word spread and families began to meet their friends on Zoom for their Elsworth Kitchen meals, sharing the experience. Rearranging their business model has been difficult, many a late night was filled with printing bags and sticking stickers on lids. But it has been worth the effort, Bruce and Rebecca are getting a lot of positive feedback from their regular customers, who look forward to their Elsworth meal each week. They say they feel very lucky to be so well supported by the local community. @elsworthkitchen . . . . . . . . . #aopmembersathome #aopmemberswithvision #aopmemberarchive #aopcovid19response #scenefromhome  #independentshops #skipton #yorkshiredales #shoplocal #supportthehighstreet #foodphotograper #community #lifestyle #followshoutoutlikecomment #localheros #covid19 #highstreet @assocphoto @equallens @f22aop @iskipton @visitskipton @Craven Herald & Pioneer @welcometoyorkshire @yorkshirelifemag @bbcyorkshire @yorkshiretimes @theyorkshirepost @telegraph_argus_bradford @weare_theallies
@growlingshrew @jodenison LOCKDOWN PROJECT Kev a @growlingshrew @jodenison LOCKDOWN PROJECT Kev and Michelle Mitchell set up the Growling Shrew in 2018. It’s an off-licence bottle shop selling beers, ciders and gins from small artisan breweries, cideries and distilleries. Apart from tins and bottles, they have 4 different styles and strengths of draught beer on offer for refill in special refill bottles, called growlers. Due to a special system these keep fresh for 60 days. When lockdown hit Kev and Michelle closed the shop initially, but upon feedback from their customers started a delivery service.  As there is no online shop, their regular customers, who know the stock well, ring up for specific orders. Kev and Michelle also introduced the mystery pack, where the customer gives a style and budget and receives a varied crate of beers. They also had requests for exactly the same mystery packs to go out to various groups of friends who then had Zoom beer tasting evenings. On a Friday morning they go out collecting the empty growler bottles from customer doorsteps and then re deliver the filled bottles. He prides himself in knowing most of his clients personally, so much so, that he stocks his shop according to their preferences. Kev and Michelle are very thankful for the support from the local community. And it seems this is also true the other way around, recently one customer thanked them for ‘keeping Skipton well oiled’ during lockdown. @growlingshrew . . . . . . . . . #aopmembersathome #aopmemberswithvision #aopmemberarchive #aopcovid19response #scenefromhome  #independentshops #skipton #yorkshiredales #shoplocal #supportthehighstreet #foodphotograper #community #lifestyle #followshoutoutlikecomment #localheros #covid19 #highstreet #real #honest @assocphoto @equallens @f22aop @iskipton @visitskipton @Craven Herald & Pioneer @welcometoyorkshire @yorkshirelifemag @bbcyorkshire @yorkshiretimes @theyorkshirepost @telegraph_argus_bradford @weare_theallies
