I have happily used Frontier in the past for both a tattoo and piercings…read more However, recently I booked a tattoo a month in advance only to be called to say that they 'ballsed up' and had double booked the appointment by accident. After stating that I was in the middle of a two-hour drive down to Cardiff for the tattoo, I was told that 'sh** happens'. I appreciate honest mistakes happen, but this sort of response is appalling. I would have appreciated some sort of attempt to rectify the situation that day or at least some genuine empathy. The situation was handled terribly and I would recommend looking elsewhere for a tattoo.

Lee Clements is the artist at work here and in my opinion, the best in Barry…read more As with all artists, whether you like their work or not is entirely subjective but Lee does intricate, custom pieces that are finished to a really high quality. The other mark of a good tattooist is their availability, Lee is always booked weeks, sometimes months in advance but if you want to drop in for a chat he's more than happy to help. I'm trying to get a cover up on my wrist and so far he's been really helpful with suggestions. The shop is clean and the environment relaxed. If you live in the Vale, go here, just make sure you book first...

Green Devil is a fantastic little tattoo shop that has recently opened up on Clifton Street, an…read morearea that is struggling to contend with the drop in trade since the one way system was implemented about a year ago. (For more information about the problems that afflict the street please read my review of Clifton Street). Although only operative for about four months, Green Devil appears to be doing well. The owner, a very talented man of Polish descent, has no way of knowing whether his shop would have been more popular prior to the councils decision to put in the one way system. This is good news! Hopefully a new breed of business will emerge on the street to replace the ones that have gone bust in recent times... I just hope that they are all as creative and well run as this one, which may not be the case... there is always the risk that the street could be run down by only being attractive to the likes of discount stores and charity shops etc... If you want to know how god the tattoos are at Green Devil, just check out the pictures I've uploaded.

Very disappointing. I've been here a bunch of times including when it was in the smaller shop. For…read morea while I had good service, found a barber i liked, and all was good. Then he left shortly after, and i found another I liked, who also left shortly after. Once the shop moved across the road, it has all seemed to down hill. I find the "put your name on the list and wait an hour in the shop" ridiculous. Ive popped in, put my name on the list, said i'll be back in 10 mins, (even though the estimated wait is 30mins-1hour) and the answer is no. When asked why, because "thats just how we do things". The last time i went there, I sat waiting for 1 hour, and 2 barbers both disappeared for lunch while i was sat there, leaving one guy slowly working, with 2 other equally frustrated customers who had been there longer than me. Poor customer service! No communication at all. On top of that, the last 2-3 times ive had the same grumpy, can't-be-bothered, too cool for school guy with no people-skills cut my hair, do a middle of the road job, and walked out £18 poorer for the experience. This place seems to be caught up in the new world of tattooed "cool" barbers, perhaps believing their own hype a little too much without actually providing quality in terms of customer service or work. Perhaps I've just been unlucky the last few times, but every time i leave i feel annoyed with the experience. I'll be looking for alternative places from now on.

I came here accompanying my partner who was getting his haircut and we left overall very happy with…read morethe experience!. ~ NOTES: Aside from tattoos and piercings, the barbers is pretty much male cuts only. Do NOT come here if you're a woman looking to get your hair done, all the barbers are male and they probably have no clue how to do women's hair. ~ Customer Service: Really good and why it gets 5 stars! They were very courteous and shook my partner's hand as he went in. The guys have a "grungy hipster" vibe to them, but they definitely know their hair. My partner is one of those stereotypical men that have no clue how they want it cut so all the direction he gave was - "shorter". I've been with him to salons before where they keep pressing him for more information and he would get stressed out because he genuinely doesn't have a clue, but the guys here were very understanding and probably have experienced a lot of guys who don't know what to say! There was also free WiFi for me as I was waiting! ~ Results: The results were great! My partner's hair looks fantastic and they were definitely thorough with their work. He's very happy with his cut and we ended up leaving a tip for the experience. £18 for a full dry cut isn't too bad at all given the quality. We've paid more at places like Supercuts for poorer results! --- If you're a man in Cardiff looking to get a haircut, Keep The Faith is without a doubt the way to go!

I chose Doc Graham's for my first tattoo a couple of years back because it was the only place I had…read moreheard of. Then I chose it again more recently because it was the first place I'd thought of. It's one of the oldest places but it's probably not the best. I only had a few letters etched on to my wrist the first time but it was quick, clean and pretty cheap (it only cost me £10). On closer inspection the writing was a little wobbly but nothing major. The second visit, I was tattooed by another guy who was far more thorough and even though I had lettering again he printed out different fonts for me to chose from and the tattoo itself is far superior to my first. It is clean and I watched them select a new needle from a sealed pack and put on fresh gloves. For something simplistic this is absolutely fine but if you're choosing something more complex I'm not sure if you'd get exactly what you're after.

My first tattoo here was at the age of 11 years when I was also under the influence of alcohol. The…read moreparlour was a very welcoming environment, with Doc providing encouragement to answer the question of my age verbally and loudly. Are *nods* you *nods* over *nods* 18 *nods* ? I went back for my second tattoo at 13, and then a "coverup" of the first at 15 (when Doc decided to just fill the middle of the tattoo in with outliner ink). Now twenty years on, both were laid too deep into the epidermis, so there is no sharpness at all and my first one looks just like a lovely black blob. Things do not seem to have changed either, as I just read an article in the press about an underage girl being tattooed here too. Verbal agreement of age is not sufficient really!

This city centre shop is the organiser behind the annual Cardiff Tattoo Convention, and as you…read moremight expect it does tattoos and piercings, and sells a wide range of alternative accessories such as plugs and flesh tunnels - and if like me you don't really know what these are, this shop probably isn't for you...just as it's not really for me. However, if you're into body jewellery, they do sell all sorts made of a wide variety of materials, including bone, wood and bamboo, precious stones such as amber and jade, surgical steel, titanium, acrylic and various plastics. Glancing in through the window, they also have smoking apparatus such as rolling papers, pipes and bongs; belt buckles and alternative clothing; and some other jewellery.
