Run by Adam Luckwell, Retro and Ink mixes a distinct hum of ‘come on in’ with an authentic vibe of ‘this is us’. Real and unperformed, Adam and his team seem to have an understated super-power of making you feel quickly comfy in their kooky hive.

In this old building with three floors of ‘different’, complete with creaky floorboards, wooden beams and twisty stairs, you’ll find (among other things) records, clothes, artwork, ouija boards, CDs, candles, shoes, tattoos, donuts, and the occasional cuppa.

Here we meet Adam, Carly and Georgia at Retro and Ink, as they share their views on community, music, tattoos and life.
