Dr David Wood

Hi, my name is David, and I'm the senior partner here at Quintessence.

I have been tattooing here in Aldershot for 22 years starting in 1989 after leaving the Army. I have an amazing wife Lisa who supports me in everything I do.

My interests lie in motorsport and I'm a total petrol head. I used to do a lot of boxing, but I'm getting too old for all that now. I still weight train every day, and sitting around 18 stone.

I have 2 business partners, Gordon who has been with me for over 12 years now, who not only is a great talented tattooist but is a great friend also.

And then ther's Steve, who has been with us for just over 4 years now, he's the youngest here, and is always reminding us of that fact.

I used to be a nurse (RGN part 12 UKCC register) and now I'm a Doctor (honestly), I hold a PhD.

I will take on any style of tattooing, but prefer the "black & grey style" as I feel you can put more depth to these. If I had a choice I would like to specialise in "real life" designs, like animals. I'm leaning away from the tribal style as I have done so much of this.

 
Please take some time to browse our site and have a look at the legislation section, which might clear up some issues.
