Skins & Needles
Matthew Salvin began his entrepreneurial journey at just 17, opening a small barbershop in the Inshops at Middlesbrough’s Hill Street Centre. That modest start grew into Salvins Barbers, a regional brand with 10 successful locations. In 2011, he launched Skins and Needles — now one of the UK’s most respected creative studio brands — offering tattooing, piercing, barbering, and beauty services across multiple locations including Middlesbrough, Durham, Ingleby Barwick, and York.
Over the years, Matthew has bought, built, and sold multiple businesses — each one sharpening his strategy and expanding his reach. Today, his business group includes tattoo studios, barbershops, hair salons, training academies, and a growing property portfolio.
He now creates employment for around 100 people, and has had a hand in shaping the careers of hundreds more — through direct mentorship, training programmes, and by providing real career paths in creative and personal care industries. His work has earned numerous awards, including “Barbershop of the Year” and “Entrepreneur of the Year,” and his businesses continue to thrive through both creative innovation and commercial strategy.
From a single rented unit at 17 to owning multiple high-performing businesses and properties, Matthew Salvin has built more than a brand — he’s built a platform for others to succeed.
