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.

Though i have never been inked here, i have a tattooist working on me and its best to stick to one,…read moresome of the work i've seen coming from here is the best i've seen come out of Birmingham and i have no doubt the rest of the team are amazing. I mainly see Mikes work and his attention to detail is amazing, if you pop in request a selection of his work to look at and see what i mean. I've heard there can be quite a waiting list here and it'll be worth it, trust me.

I have been meaning to write this review since 20th April 2024!…read more Really wanted my first tattoo to be meaningful and had the perfect idea. Sent through enquires around with different prices but Vivid Ink Birmingham was always my ideal place to look into. I received a speedy response from Laura and we discussed measurements and prices. Laura was so helpful on any questions I have (And there were a lot) After a lengthy weekend of consideration. I decided to go for it. Again with Laura's help and guidance, deposit paid, date booked. I also had a call a day before to confirm the appointment, thought that was a nice touch. I went into vivid ink Birmingham a bag of nerves and was shortly introduced to Denise and we sat down and discussed other options of designs but we both agreed the original design was the best (No pressure at all from Denise, just a helpful guidance on other designs which did look amazing also) We went downstairs and the artwork was commencing, another nice touch. Denise offered me a drink and a lollipop, assume to distract from the pain but none the less, still very grateful. After 2.5 Hours or so, The tattoo was complete and I'm still in shock on how well it looks and ever so grateful to Denise for completing this for me in such a way that I almost cried with Joy. If considering your first or next tattoo I would highly recommend Vivid Ink Birmingham as a go to place. I'm already considering my next one with them!

I contacted vivid ink on Queensway as we wanted to get tattoos of the Birmingham Bull as a symbol of our heritage and trip. Although they are always busy they kindly fit us in at short notice.

The shop is extremely clean and beautiful. Thank you for your awesome service. Heather Danielle Sonja and Tami Seattle,WA

Johnny is a legend! So if you're thinking of getting a tattoo then go to him. Most of the people I…read moreknow who live in Burton and have a tattoo have endless praise for Johnny. He will sometimes open late if he doesn't have time to do your tattoo. And I've heard he will play the drums for you too if you ask nicely enough!

There is nobody in the Tamworth area can touch either of them for the quality of their work. They give good advice and care about their customers.

I've always had 17th Century Japanese tattoo's, which they've taken great pleasure and enthusiasm ensuring it is correct and the best for my shape and my pocket! right down to finer details, such as kimono print, colours, context and so forth.. All in all, 5 stars for service, education/information, care and consideration & high quality workmanship.

For way longer than I can remember, the Oasis complex is where Birmingham's alternative types have…read morecome to buy studded belts, get tattooed or just wonder around looking at stuff. It's a vast complex containing many small businesses, and one of them is a small, neatly presented body piercers by the name of Dolly Rockers. Apart from a selection of body jewellery, and the recent addition of micro dermal implants, Dolly Rockers is all about the piercings. By all accounts, they are extremely good at this - out of the many people I know who have been pierced there, I can't think of one that has a complaint about the service they received - the piercings always heal well, and are executed with minimum amount of pain. Prices are about average for this kind of thing, and the manner of the staff is great. In conclusion, if someone in Birmingham asked me where to go for a good piercing, I'd send them here.

Businesses come and go in the oasis market. However, Dolly Rockers has been around for a good…read morewhile, and has even been expanded over the years. Pricing for piercings is average, and they do offers now and again (although I know there have been a few occasions when offers have apparently ended but are still being advertised which is a bit naughty). In that case it usually comes down to discretion of the piercers. I've had several piercings done here, and for the majority of those I have experienced efficient service from skilled and professional piercers. I would recommend this place for clean, safe piercings performed well with the least amount of discomfort.

I decided to get a tattoo not so long back, I spent a large number of days researching what I…read morewanted an where it was going to be. I found a local tattoo studio in the Telford and Shropshire area Ministry of Ink Tattoo Studio Dawley. I contacted the studio to discuss my tattoo and was asked to visit them for a consultation. So I popped down and by the end of the consultation we had agreed on colour, size and the place that i was going to have my tattoo. Matthew and Deane were most helpful and inventive, with their experience I must say the tattoo design was excellent. As they did late Thursday nights and I had work commitments most that week we agreed to book me in and do it then, I was told to visit the chemist on the same street as the studio for some numbing cream 'which worked a treat, thanks to the guys for advising I used this'. As I wanted to feel what It was like I only used some of the cream and being honest having a tattoo is not all that bad, you get used to the sensation after a minute or so. Within the hour booking I was done, and WOW my tattoo looked great, better than imagined. Using Matt and Deane's advice to use Bepanthen cream it healed a treat. I would recommend Ministry of Ink Tattoo Studio Telford to anyone, my first tattoo is an example of how good they are and with artists like these I intend to return if I ever want more! Thanks both of you.

Friendly staff who make you feel comfortable and are very good at what they do. As a Londoner I have a lot of excellent tattooists on my doorstep, but I travelled up to Coventry to be tattooed by Joanne Baker at Grizzlys. Although it's not been long since she was an apprentice, Joanne is very professional and extremely talented. I know a lot of people who travel for her charming illustrative style and unique watercolour effects. Watercolour has become quite popular but Joanne somehow manages to get her splodges look just like drops of pretty pastel paint - and her colour palette is unusual, so her designs stand out from the crowd. I really can't recommend her highly enough.
