If you’re thinking of getting inked, you might choose to have your child’s date of birth or your wedding anniversary on your arm or your shoulder.

Maybe you’ve got a Celtic design with knots and scrolls or a nautical themed tattoo with stars that has grown in popularity over recent years.

In the latest category of our Best of 2023 competition we want to know where in St Helens we should go if we want to get a tattoo.

It might be somewhere you’ve been going for years or a new tattoo artist who has done your latest ink.

So far in our Best of 2023 competition, we’ve searched for St Helens’ Best for Hair, Best for Pies and Best for Nails and then Best for Roast Dinner and Best for Cocktails.

We followed up with Best for Breakfast and Best for Fitness, with the shortlist for the town’s Best for Fish and Chips revealed yesterday, Thursday.

This week, it’s tattoos and we know it will be no easy feat to choose a winner which is why we’ll be handing over the final decision to those who know best – our readers.

HOW IT WORKS:

Each Friday morning we will reveal new categories via our social media pages and ask you who is the best. Nominations will then close each Monday morning at 12pm.

Every Thursday we will publish a shortlist of finalists with voting officially opening.

You will be able to vote in one of three ways:

- By commenting under the relevant post on our St Helens Star Facebook, Twitter or Instagram pages = 1 vote

- By entering via the online article on our St Helens Star website = 2 votes

- By entering via our St Helens Star newspaper = 5 votes

The following Wednesday evening we will announce the winner of that category on social media.

Usual Newsquest competition rules apply.
