I compare his tattooing to the likes of tattoos done by professional tattoo artists in Los Angeles and Miami. I have never gotten a tattoo in England because most tattoos I see on the British do not look very professional. I was taken by surprise when I saw Kevin's work, and I immediately knew he was the man to tattoo my wedding ring onto my ring finger. I gave Kevin very little information about myself and left him alone on his creative intelligence. I am so glad that I did because he drew the most beautiful design. Two hearts intertwined with the first letter of my husband's name in between the two hearts. The tattoo design was beautiful and the tattoo itself very beautiful. I have four years of work I have been saving to get done in the States because I don't trust anyone to tattoo my body here in the UK, but I have found this jewel in Beck Row who I trust and who does amazing work. I will be coming to Kevin again soon with the rest of the bits I want on my body. He charges £50 a hour which is really good because of the high grade work and professionalism of his craft. I couldn't be happier. The facility is clean. Everything was very hygienic. He even offers piercings and tattoo removals by laser. You can also find him on Face Book and send him a message to schedule your tattoo, piercing or tattoo removal. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Inkslingers-tattoo-studio/514386291967787 Best to find Inkslingers, he is near Yappies and the Chinese Restaurant on the right you will see a gravel drive way with a small black sign that reads Tattoos.

Probably the greatest Tattoo Shop on Earth! I just popped in…read morehere one day an a whim. I had some old rubbish tattoos that I had done as a youngster that I wished to be covered over with fresh ink. I couldn't have chosen more wisely. Gordon Shepherd the Manager/owner of the Top Gun Empire is a real expert at covering up old tattoos. His skills are second to none,its as if he could cover black with white!! He is a good sport too, he enjoys a good old laugh whilst he skilfully works, but he never deviates from doing a professional job. The shops other main tattooist is Tori Austin she is brilliant too, her line work is amazing and she can freehand some unbelievable creations. The atmosphere in this shop is cosy and almost family like, they go out of there way to make you feel comfortable and relaxed, they understand that a tattoo is for some a nerve racking experience and really do go the extra mile for any of their customers. I would never use any other tattooist (and I am a fussy sod) Long live Top Gun Tattoo and all who get inked in her!

I found Kilburn Tattoo from an article rating the best tattoo shops in London. I completed the…read moreonline form and sent them pictures of what I wanted for my tattoo. They said that Elle would be available to do the tattoo. It is a very detailed tattoo and she was not scared of it but excited by the tattoo. When I arrived to Kilburn I was quickly greeted and completed an online waiver. Elle introduced herself and showed me the art that she created. She put a lot of time and creativity in preparing to tattoo me. We agreed on a size and location and then got to work. I was beyond impressed with Elle's talent. My tattoo is amazing!! Elle has a light touch and in incredibly detailed in her tattooing. I was able to watch a few other tattoo artist while I was there and they were also incredibly talented. If you looking for a place to get your first or next tattoo then give Kilburn a call.

I came here on the 29th of October in 2013, I know this because I got the date tattoo'd on my body,…read moreBUT I would've probably remembered it anyway because of the g money experience I had there. So I hopped on a plane to London one day on my own because I heard Drake say something about YOLO on the radio and I'm an impressionable teen. My hotel was a walk away from this tattoo studio so I thought "AYYYYY my dad hates tattoos let's get it started hot" and walked in wanting to get my first tattoo at a foreign place in commemoration of the day. Should've probably thought what I wanted to get through more, but spontaneity is a beast of burden in that way and as a result I had no idea what I wanted to get as an image to go with the date. Two wonderful, wonderful, chill as hell, beauties by the name of Mike & Anna (I THINK. I SUCK BALLS AT NAMES) were working and Mike sort of just went back and forth with me on what I wanted. Which I was really grateful for because it meant my tattoo would have more of a relation to the artist as well. We settled on a Poppy (nothing to do with remembrance day or anything I'm just a dumb tourist that saw it everywhere when I landed) and simple print date because I'm also a dumb hipster that likes minimalistic shit. Also holy shit I didn't even have an appointment and they were still like come on in! ANYWAY, I asked Mike to put it at a discrete location in case I needed to hide it from my parents or my workplace so it's on my side next to my left breast. The poppy's like my third nipple lol. I even got away with going completely naked to a bathhouse in Japan where tattoos are a no no, so size and placement get a 10/10 For a first tattoo it was like a weird tickle, it never hurt, but Mike kept asking if I was okay anyway through out the whole thing. So rad! And Anna & Mike were so easy to talk to, easy going, honest, and even made me a damn list of places to see during my stay. I don't remember how long it took because time flew by. Anna even gave me a contact in case I needed a locals help cause she felt bad for me and seriously y'all were nice x 1000. I wish I could've met the others that worked here, because if these two were anything to go by, the other artists are probably a blast too. My tattoo is so clean and well done, can't believe I lucked out on walking in here for my first one. Next time I stop by London I'll be sure to bring gifts and get another. In the end, the tattoo doesn't just remind me of the trip, but it reminds me of the really brilliant time I had in Lauren's studio with two awesome tattoo artists. So much more worth it.

Also I highly recommend this place because their aftercare was amazing, when I was having problems they were happy for me to pop in and check over if everything was ok. Overall they have lovely staff, they don't rush through things and they have great aftercare.
