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.

Simple story, this place butchered me…read more 2007, tattoo to the left of my stomach (sore area) an apprentice did the worst job you can imagine, but not only that he was dragging the needle across my skin causing me to bleed a lot more than need be. the tattoo its self had to be finished by someone else at another studio because i never wanted to step foot in there again, the back room where the tattooing was done was small and by far the worst studio i've ever been in. Though this was years ago and standards may of changed now (i really hope they have) i can't let that slide. JUST LIKE YOU LET THAT NEEDLE SLIDE ACROSS MY STOMCH. Amateur. Anyway i'm still hearing bad things about that studio even to this day si theres a million better places around so just avoid this one.

I think this place is one of the best locally simple because iv never had a problem with anything ,…read moreI mean I'm to young for tattoos but iv had 3 piercings from here and I haven't had a single problem my dad has has 4 tattoos from here and he wants more , he says he wouldn't go anywhere else my mom has had one and my grandad and they haven't had a problem, the lads there are nice , they are helpful and just genuine but I would recommend black art studios to anyone :) x

Birmingham has more than it's fair share of tattooists with big media profiles. It also has a good…read moreselection of lesser known tattooists quietly churning out excellent work, week in, week out. Spider is one of those in the latter category. I don't have any work from Spider myself but I know plenty of people who have. I have also watched him tattoo. The work he does is of a high quality - I've seen great script he has produced as well as ultra smooth black and grey work and photorealism . Prices are cheap for the quality of work, and he is good with his customers, an important quality when you are practising an art as intimate as tattooing. If you're looking for ink you could a hel of a lot worse than going to Spider, but be warned - he is usually booked up quite a while in advance, so a spur of the moment tattoo might not be possible.

Dawnii is awesome. Super friendly and welcoming, with a warm personality that puts you right at…read moreease. There's no air of pretension about her, and her work is brilliant - so vibrant and full of colour! My other half had a full sleeve done by Dawnii - started when she was still working at Modern Body Art, but finished once she moved into her own place. Painted Lady has a very different feel to MBA - homely, and quirky with ornate walls and taxidermy and curiosities abound on shelves and hung on walls, but just as hygienic and clean as MBA is. If you manage to get an appointment with her, you won't be disappointed in her work.. and if you're going with a friend to have some work done, she has a really intriguing range of books on shelves dotted around the space that you can browse whilst she decorates the person you're with!

Painted Lady Tattoo is the brainchild of tattoo artist extraodinaire Dawnii Fontana. Dawnii founded…read morePLT and runs the studio in between tattooing in her trademark feminine, old school style both at PLT and conventions. Great as Dawnii's work is, it is also extremely difficult to get hold of - apparently she opens her books twice a year and within a day has bookings for the next six months. However, other tattooists do work at the shop, all providing great work. For instance,Clare Goldilox works there, who is well known for her hand poked and machine tattoos that focus on natural forms in all their glory, and a regular flow of guest artists from all over the country make appearances at the shop. The decor is pleasingly eccentric, with a busy look taking in taxidermy, antiques and many of Dawnii's artworks which fits the uniquenss of the tattoos. Put simply, whether tattooed by Dawnii or one of the other tattooists that work at the shop, you'll get a great tattoo. With rumours of a second studio in the works, these painted ladies will be in business for a very long time to come.
