Check out the health and safety inspection certificates and read the guestbooks. Dave Turner clearly knows what he's doing and tells you all sorts of stories before getting the ink. You realise that he's trying to make you relax and the stories go on and on probably because it was my first time. He is clearly well experienced with 44 years behind him in the business and puts safety first. The magic cream is available but I braved it since the cream makes it take longer to heal. My tattoo healed perfectly and still looks amazing today. I will be going back here.

I've had all of my piercing's done here; ear lobes, eyebrow, and industrial…read more Two of three failed. The ear lobes both succeeded [which I'd expect since it's the simple piercing to execute]. The eyebrow failure: it was performed by the owner, Nicole - she mistargeted the insertion points (too wide apart) so the bar ended up being too short: this caused inordinate swelling and pressure leading me to take it out after a week of deliberating. I got a refund and an offer to have it replaced for free, which was respectable customer service. I didn't get it replaced. Eyebrow Solution: I think she knew that she'd performed a poor placement of the eyebrow piercing as soon as she performed it but wishfully justified the placement - in that wasn't that far from perfect and it should still work out. I think she should have admitted failure right away upon noticing her placement was poor and offered to re-do it as soon as it had healed; tallying it up to having made a mistake by eying the placement holes rather than using a ruler or measuring device. The industrial failure: I kept it in for a year with issues all throughout. This was performed by Seb, the main guy there. The issues, I found, were largely my fault due to sleeping on the side where the piercing was placed - Seb did make it clear I should avoid this by using an aeroplane pillow for side sleeping but this proved, in practice, impractical. The biggest issues came a lot when I began to develop keloid scars on both sides of the industrial inserts. Seb did attempt some reasonable-sounding troubleshooting: I was told to massage the scars in the shower for some weeks for a few minutes each time in an attempt for this to press them away - I tried this and it failed. Then, after going back I was given two small bars to replace the long industrial bar; I was given washers on each end of each bar in an attempt to squash/massage out the scars naturally. This also failed. In turn, I eventually took both bars out because the scars were expanding in size rather than shrinking. I must now [inconveniently] get them removed by a surgeon of sorts, which is an issue I'm currently solving. I must add, I have heard these keloid type scars are due to a genetic predisposition (although I haven't verified this). Industrial solution: A solution would have been to remove it immediately as the scars showed development and call it a failure at that point, but Seb must not have much data to pull from with Keloid scars - I suspect the idea the scars could be pushed down to be a fallacy and he hadn't seen any evidence. They're scars, I don't think [like most scar tissue] that it goes away easily. I could be wrong though, he may have found success with other clients with this technique.

After a short initial appointment to diagnose the issues, the following appointments were booked in and were completed in a professional manner.

I would absolutely recommend this practice, the text reminder service is also a life saver, and all of the staff are friendly and helpful.

They offer sedation for those who require it. There is plenty of parking at the front of the surgery, although this is shared with some other shops, but I have never not been able to find a space.

I eventually booked an appointment with Richard as the pain became unbearable. The team at Guidepost have transformed how I feel about going to the Dentist this has taken alot of paitience and understanding from Richard and Holly. Due to the poor state of my teeth I required some "scary" dental procedures but I had nothing to worry about. I have felt no pain and the pre and post aftercare was amazing. I cannot recommend this dental practice enough. In December I get married and I never thought I would be able to smile confidentally on my day. However, due to Richard and his amazing dentistry this is going to be a dream come true. From the fantastic receptionist Emma who kindly reminds me when I have an appointment to the support staff around Richard inparticular Holly who knew when I needed a hand to hold and lastly to the fantastic way Richard has put confidence back into the way I feel about going to the dentist. I would highly reccommend this friendly, family led dentist to anyone who wants an amazing service and an amazing smile. Sarah Shirley
