Couple bring new tattoo studio from Greece to Stourbridge

Yahoo18-03-2025

A COUPLE have opened a new tattoo studio in Stourbridge which they hope will remove 'negative stereotypes surrounding' tattoos.
Peter Dittrich and his wife, Margarita Nikolova officially open the doors to Golden Olive Tattoo Studio on Saturday (March 15).
The couple, who moved to Woolaston in 2024 with their daughter, spent two months renovating the unit at Winwood Court, transforming it into a 'light and modern' studio.
Ms Nikolova has a decade of experience as a tattoo artist (Image: Peter Dittrich) Mr Dittrich said: 'We wanted to offer a clean, minimalistic and quality studio that is welcoming to customers and be gone with any kind of intimidating or negative stereotypes surrounding tattoo studios.
'Margarita is a tattoo artist with over 10 years of experience and is ready to take centre stage in her own studio.'
Golden Olive held an opening event welcoming the local community with free glitter tattoos for children and refreshments for everyone to enjoy.
Mr Dittrich added: 'It was a family orientated day, to welcome the local community into our new store and also to thank them for all the amazing support we have received.
'The local community and adjacent businesses have all been full of support.'
The couple met on the Greek island of Kos in 2017, opening their first tattoo studio in the bustling tourist village of Kardamena.
To celebrate the opening, the studio offered free glitter tattoos for little ones (Image: Peter Dittrich) In March 2020, as lockdown took its toll on the tourism industry, they returned to Mr Dittrich's hometown of Bearwood with their daughter before settling in Stourbridge.
As well as offering tattoos at their new studio, the couple also specialise in laser tattoo removal, having a medical-grade Active Q-switch laser on site.
Mr Dittrich, who previously worked as a primary school teacher, said the future looks exciting and is looking forward to what lies ahead for the Golden Olive.
He said: 'The opening day was fantastic - full of positivity.
'We're looking forward to the journey ahead.'

Nintendo reveals record-breaking sales of Switch 2 as fans hunt for restocks

Nintendo has announced record-breaking sales for its new Switch 2, as fans clamour to find retailers restocking the new gaming console. The company revealed on Wednesday that 3.5 million units had been sold in the first four days since its launch on June 5. This marks the "highest global sales level" for any of its hardware within this initial sales window. The Switch 2 is the successor to the original Switch, which was released eight years ago. Gamers worldwide have eagerly awaited an upgrade, and the release saw long lines outside stores as fans rushed to purchase the new console. The initial preorder period, held less than two months prior, sold out rapidly, demonstrating the high demand for the product. It's now been over a week since the Nintendo Switch 2 launched, and stock is still disappearing fast across the world. Fans have been eager to purchase the new console and are regularly using restock websites to find retailers with Switch 2 in stock. Nintendo hopes the Switch 2 will revitalise sales, incorporating a larger screen, new games, and enhanced social features designed to attract new players to online gaming. Nintendo has said it expects to sell 15 million Switch 2 consoles for the fiscal year through March 2026. The 3.5 million sold in the first four days includes the Nintendo Switch 2's Mario Kart World Bundle, as well as the Switch 2's Japanese-language and multi-language systems sold in Japan. The Switch 2's baseline price of $449.99 is significantly higher than the original Switch's $299 price tag. While new bells and whistles may account for a sizeable portion of that hike, experts have previously noted that new tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump are also a contributor. Evaluating the impact of these import taxes also led Nintendo to delay its April pre-orders by several weeks. Sign in to access your portfolio
