A tattoo studio which serves a VIP client roster including Sam Smith, Declan Rice and Kobie Mainoo has chosen a site in Manchester for its first location outside of London.
The team behind The London Social will open The Manchester Social on Saturday 5 April.
The London Social, will bring its tattoo artistry to 9 South King Street, taking up 2,200 sq ft over ground floor, basement, and lower basement. It will provide a convenient location for existing regulars such as Luke Shaw and Mason Mount.
Miles Langford, founder of The London Social, said: "Opening our first location outside of London is a huge step in our business journey but Manchester seemed like the obvious choice.

"A key selling point for me was the building and its location. King Street is known for being the epicentre of luxury in Manchester so it was a no brainer for us to make the decision on where we would fit in best."
"An indescribable amount of hard work has gone into making this store one of our best yet, all whilst maintaining its Manchester foundations, and we can't wait for Manchester to get the experience that our London clients love so well."
The unit was previously occupied by Lacey Fine Art.
Holly Whitcomb, associate director at DTZ Investors, said: "We're incredibly excited to welcome such an exclusive brand like The London Social to King Street.
"King Street is known for being the go-to place for luxury retail and leisure and the addition of The Manchester Social will help to diversify the offering on the street, aligning with our ambitions to be a go-to destination in Manchester city centre.
"From its VIP feel, to star-studded clientele, we're looking forward to seeing footfall soar on the street."
