Not a great shop at all. I booked an appointment at 12pm and didn't get seen until 1pm with no…read moreapology, got two flash tattoos. The first was fine but the artist went ti smoke afterwards and left the tattoo unwrapped and dripping with blood for over 15 minutes and still didn't wrap it on returning. She then rushed my second tattoo resulting in very wobbly lines and a tattoo that doesn't really look professional so I'm going elsewhere to get it fixed. The artist also used dry paper towel to wipe the needle between colours and I witnessed her picking bits of stuck paper towel from the needle while she was doing my tattoo. I emailed the shop to complain about this and explained I would like a refund or at least some of my money back towards getting the tattoos fixed but they have chosen to ignore me. I would never visit this shop ever again. The experience was horrible.

Between myself and my girlfriend we have had about 8 or 9 piercings done at this place. The lady…read morewho does them is very friendly and the equipment she uses is always new out of a packet and cleaned thoroughly. The shop itself is also very clean and has a hygiene certificate for both tattooists and piercers, and rightly so. I myself have not been in for a tattoo but there are pictures all over the walls and some look pretty amazing. Also, not being a tattoo kinda person, I'm not really sure if its cheap or not (prices ranging from £10 for a letter to over £500+ for the huge ones that cover pretty much the whole of your body). Piercings on the other hand are very cheap. £7 for ears, £15 for the likes of tongue, lip, nipple etc. I find that other places will charge you about £20 just for getting your ear pierced! Overall would definitely recommend this place for piercings, but as I said, I wouldn't know about tattoos so you would have to go check it out.

Love this place, great receptionists and great artists. Very…read morehappy with my first ink and currently looking to book in again. Great customer care and care sheets. Variety of skin care products and drinks inside. You can call or pop in at any time to arrange stuff and I'm sure you will receive the best help, advice or reassurance. My only issue which isn't on the studio itself is I wish some of the artists were a bit quicker with replies.

My partner had a tattoo done here a couple of years back (of my name) and its fantastic. His lines are clean and the shop is clean too. I will be going back here for my next tattoo guaranteed. The only problem I find is the opening times, Im not actually sure when he's open lol.

The style and the end product was great. The lines were that thin that he did the outline and the shading all in one go! Mark was easy to talk to, utter professional and will definitely be using his services again. Thanks again

Yes, yes, yes, yes!…read more I got my third tattoo here, and it's where I plan to get my next bigg'un, Alexandra and Violet are lovely to boot, and both seriously know their stuff, head up the stairs through the doors into the delightfully gothic little studio, purple and sterile, smells clean without overpowering chemical smells. Slideshows of past work and designs flicking around on the screens, with a playlist that echoes the impeccable alternative tastes of the owners. Alexandra is the resident inker, and Violet the piercer, they both know their stuff, Alex having done quite an extensive art history degree to back up her drawings. I wanted a small piece to commemorate getting through a stint of ill health and operations, getting a dot work acorn on my ankle, the dot work here in particular is divine, but alex can lend herself to so so many styles. No issues, no bleeding out, and healed like an absolute dream, still clear and lovely months on, definitely no putting the ink in the wrong depths here. I'm yet to have a piercing here, mostly because I keep wimping out of one i've been considering for some time, but I know a lot of people with ink and piercings from here, never mind the two instagram accounts you can follow, and I have never seen a problem. They've been quick to help properly on coverups and ill-done piercings from other places too. They also sell high end high quality body jewellery such as anatometal, industrial strength etc and decent natural healing stuff like hustler butter. Go here, book here, get it done!
