r/Liverpool

I just moved to Liverpool and wondering if there are any tattoo artists/parlours you’d recommend for someone autistic? I struggle with the small talk that is usually expected when getting a tattoo and always find it overwhelming. Any recommendations would be great.

Since summer is around the corner, where are the best places near Liverpool to just chill, tan, and enjoy the weather when the sun actually comes out? Looking for good beaches, pools, resorts, or even hidden gems outside the city. Don’t mind driving a bit if it’s worth it.

Hi all, I know when the wrestling came to Liverpool last year some people were able to have pictures taken with the wrestlers somewhere around the arena. Did anyone here see them, or does anyone know the best place around the arena where we might see them?

We did look at doing a meet and greet package for our son, but my god, they are expensive. Any help would be appreciated.

Visited the Dovedale Towers today after it’s been done up - I know everyone likes to hate on RG and his pubs, but I think they’ve done a great job with the place.

It has kept a lot of the original feel but looks 10x nicer, will be nicer for the Penny Lane tourists, and feels more like the ‘modern’ Liverpool.

Every time I’d been in there before the sale it was full of cokeheads getting off their face on a quiet midweek night, hopefully now they have more of a general appeal and can challenge the other pubs in the area.

Would be good to know what others think!

Liverpool house prices have gone up again, with the average now around £182k

I know people still call Liverpool “cheap”, but cheap for who exactly?

For someone moving from London or down south, maybe it still looks like a bargain. But for local people trying to save a deposit, get a mortgage, and not rely on family money, £182k is still a massive ask.

Even a normal terraced house is now around £172k on average. That doesn’t feel cheap when wages haven’t exactly shot up.

Feels like Liverpool is slowly becoming one of those places where everyone says it’s affordable, but the actual people who live here are getting priced out bit by bit.

Am I being dramatic, or is buying in Liverpool getting harder than people admit?

Is there a place to really socialise in this city that I'm missing? (Without being drunk or High)

I'm coming out from a kind of long relantioship and yeah, long story short I don't have much chance to engage in social activities.

It's probably me as well but I'm struggling a little to make new friends which is something very new for me as I always had many people around.

Ps. I'm 42 😅

Thanks !

What are some major spots for Skateboarding in and outside of town?

I'm a skateboard photographer & I go the waterfront quite a lot but want to find some new areas.

Heard of one near Everton but don't know too much about it

How do we all use heavy?

I think it's in a bit of a unique position, as it can be used as a positive or negative connotation.

Get a mad meal in = heavy scran that la

Your mate's hamster spontaneously combusts = heavy that la

What do we reckon?

Hey guys, I know this is in Wigan, not Liverpool exactly but it’s got to be worth a shot as so many Liverpudlians have probably been to the Wigan roller rink at some point.

The Wigan Roller Rink has been forced to close by August 2026. 🛼‼️ Wigan is just outside of Liverpool.

Skating rinks are closing all over the UK - we lost the IWF in Liverpool in January this year, Manchester’s Skate World two years ago and now the famous Wigan rink is set to close in August 2026. But it is more than that. We are losing community spaces of all kinds, to developers who are greedy for money.

This community space is truly special and unique - independently owned/ran, the friendliest people, a DJ with live music, a skate shop, AND it’s the biggest wooden floor rink in the UK. It is accessible, inclusive and a great way to make new friends and stay active.

No where in the UK (or outside of London anyway) is there anything like the Wigan roller rink to skate.

But now the developers (the Heaton Group) are forcing the owners to close and leave the property. In the initial plans there was an agreement to save the floor and relocate the space elsewhere in Wigan, but now the developers have gone back on that due to ‘budget’ and are bulldozing the lot to make way for yet more gentrified apartments and housing.

It is a treasured piece of Wigan culture and history and must be saved, or at least relocated!

Please, please help us in saving the rink. I’ve attached a link to a petition to sign if you can spare a moment.

Thanks so much for reading. All support is greatly appreciated. 🛼
