Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Significant events
- “In 2024 this resulted in the launch of new state-of-the-art products including the Prime Pen Tattoo Machine.”
- “The Company's subsidiary NBG Europa GmbH had a full year trading in the retail store in Berlin which seeks to further our customer service offering to European customers.”
- “During the period there was an 15% reduction in sales turnover in comparison to the prior period, in part due to changes in consumer behaviour over the past few years.”
- “In 2024, there was a shift in the GBP to EUR exchange rate, which dropped from 1.1600 on January 1 to 1.2030 by December. As a large volume of our sales transactions are invoiced in EUR to European customers, we were affected by this exchange rate fluctuation.”
- “The European Chemicals Agency regulations relating to tattoo pigments and their use within the body art industry. With some initial restrictions being introduced taking effect in 2023, the company along with its main ink manufacturer (which has the same ultimate parent company as ourselves) has launched a range of compliant pigment formulations for its Ink Range.”
