I have had 5 tattoos from Body Art Studio and every one of them is of the highest quality. The…read moremanager of the shop is Sam, she is by far one of the most talented tattoo artist's I have had the pleasure of meeting. She is knowledgeable and will always offer advise as to what you require or how to make something look better. But she will not force her ideas on to you. I find its always good to get a second opinion on work before its too late. The price's are very reasonable and the premises are very bright and clean. If anyone was thinking of having work done for the first time, or just adding to existing work, I can think of no better place than Bodyart Studios to have it done.

As with a number of tattoo specialist you can expect to have a consultation, the artist will draw up some designs and resize the sketches to create you design, you will then be booked in for a session or more depending on the level of detail in the art. Physical Graffiti also has a shop on Richard street on the 5point junction where city road meets Albany road. This parlour has a white sterile look like a doctors surgery with very comfortable black leather chairs to relax in while you wait.

It was opened in the summer of 2006 by Chris Hatton, a tattoo artist with a considerable reputation for his custom tattoos. His objectives were clear; he wanted to "create a hygienic, friendly tattoo shop that prides itself on good customer care and a very high standard of work". There is no doubting that he has realised his aims. The majority of tattoos performed at Physical Graffiti are custom designed to meet the client's own specifications, but there's also a variety of flash in the shop to provide inspiration. (It is also possible to buy flash either from the shop or by mail order from the website). They also provide a fully licensed laser tattoo removal service that is and performed by highly trained staff. The treatment procedure and all other information can be found in the laser removal section of the website. There's also a quirky side to the business that I really like. They stock a range of tattoo related merchandise which includes t-shirts, bags, wallets and purses as well as custom painted shoes featuring tattoo related designs. They will also create shoes to your personal specifications. How good is that!?!

Their shop is located just opposite Iceland, opening times tend to be from 10-6 on most days. Inside, the shop is simply decorated with a desk and a couch at the front and a piercing and tattoo area at the back, both are separated with a black glossy wall reaching to your hips. I went in last week to get a double helix piercing and honestly, they were so helpful, the piercer i had made the two dots on my ear and was very calm when I kept changing my mind. She made sure to show me that the needles (they don't work with guns AT ALL) and the earrings were all brand new, the piercing procedure was straight forward, with it hurting more when the jewellery went in than the needle, all in all it was great, I received a sheet on piercing aftercare which I already knew but it was nice to be provided with the information, she made sure to let me know that I can come back in anytime if I need help and I could also call as well. They are fantastic and I would definitely consider going back there for any other piercings. At £15 each, it was a bargain, would recommend them to anyone I know
