The prices are good too, £70 an hour for tattoos and around £20 for a piercing. This shop has a very good, long reputation. I have been going there for years and have never heard anything bad about them at all. This shop has been there for 15 years and is built on its excellent reputation, unlike other tattoo shops that have been around the area this shop has managed to stay open and has a vety loyal customer base. They are open from 11am to 7pm and are closed on Tuesadays and Wednesdays. On saturdays they offer a first come first served service so you can have your tattoo the same day. This is good as they tend to be quite busy at times.

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 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.

I got my first piercing there when i was 14 I got my nose pierced and Verna was really kind and helpful. I went back a couple of years later to my second lobe, industrial and a flat piercing, and I got looked after when I had a bit of trouble during one of the piercings. 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.

Had all custom work done and the guys who work there are trained in freehand and are great at artwork so they can sketch things out for you and come up with a design. Definitely highly recommended, they're all very friendly, have their own styles and don't look down on you if you're not covered in tattoos top to bottom. You have to show ID, sign a sheet agreeting to be tattooed and afterwards get given comprehensive tattoo advice. You can buy aftercare cream, t-shirts with the studio's logo and the artwork on the walls. If they really like how your tattoo came out, they'll take a photo of it and put it up on their website.
