The place itself is super nice, it's one of the coolest looking tattoo places I've ever been in, and the people there are generally really nice. The girl who tattooed me was awesome and people made you feel welcome and all, it was a great experience! And they do seem super hygienic so I trust that, and their aftercare seems great too, so I've heard.

Dai is a great tattooist and an all round nice guy, they have a lot of flash or if you prefer you can discuss an idea with Dai and he'll draw up a custom piece for you. Michelle does the piercing, she also has her own line of Custom corsets with embroidered tattoo imagery, the front of the shop is full of jewellery, body jewellery, fascinators, and other bits and pieces from their travels- If you need an alternative gift you should definately have a look in one of the many display cabinets! There is a bit of a waiting list and you will have to pay a deposit, but it's worth the wait! Very clean and very professional.

I have know Rob,the owner of Border Rose for longer than he has been a professional tattoo…read moreartist,and the day he opened up his own place was a good day indeed. He first tattooed me in 1997 whilst he was serving his time working for another local artist,and since then nobody else has been allowed near my body with ink filled needles or piercing implements of doom.... His apprentice Abi is pretty damn talented too,and the lucky woman has a tattoo by world reknown artist Paul Booth on her hand!!! The actual studio itself is warm and welcoming and seriously friendly.Rob being the type of artist who likes a challenge,he is happiest when he can get his teeth into a bit of custom work. I basically gave him the letters ZOMBI and my forearm and said come up with something. He did,and pretty soon I will have a lovely Zombi tatt to show people who probably have no interest in my arm at all : ) A word of warning though,Rob is a busy man,you generally have to make an appointment to get a tattoo from him,Abi on the other hand, being the apprentice often has more free/spare time. That is how you can generally tell how good a Tattooist is,if you can walk right in off the street and get a tatt done then they are doing something wrong,a good Tattooist is usually booked up for a few months at least (Cancelations not withstanding). You can't beat a good Tattoo,and not many Artists can beat Border Rose......

I visited on the morning of my 40th birthday to see if I could be squeezed in for a little birthday ink. James was on the desk and although all of the artists were fully booked for that day took my number and said he would see what he could do. Lo and behold a few hours later I got a call, jumped in the car and got my birthday tattoo done by James. I love the vibe in Border Rose, even if you are not a personal friend, you soon feel like one. It's always spotlessly clean, professional and a fun place to hang out whilst your other half gets some pain delivered! Go get tattooed there, I dare ya!

Noesis tattoo studio is the BEST tattoo studio I've ever been to…read more I went to Noesis tatto studio because three of my mates had their tattoos done there, and were all very very awesome. I had two tattoos done in made in Manchester, and I felt AWFUL. The tattoo artist was extremely rude, impatient, and very grumpy. I really really don't recommned anyone to have their tattoos done there. However, Noesis tattoo studio is completely different. I had my tattoo done with Linggen, she is not only very friendly, she's also very very professional. She spent hours and hours discussed the tattoo with me just to make sure we were both happy about the tattoo. I definitely recommend Noesis tattoo studio!

So I am not in the least bit surprised that I thought I should pop in and get one of the artists to have a look at a new design I have been working on. I spoke to Wayne who was happy to take my design and redraw it into a transfer ready for being placed on my upper thigh! he said needed a day to do it, when I went back the next day he had worked wonders with my initial design and made it look fantastic! I still have not gotten round to having the tattoo put on, but I will definitely be getting it done here. I felt like the staff here treat each customer very professionally and in a way that sets them apart from other parlours, the shop itself looks more like a posh Japanese boutique and nothing like your usual bikers joint!

Worth the travel. Tom Au, one half of Tenacious Tattoo is…read morethe brother of a friend so when I found out he had trained to be a tattoo artist and opened up his own shop I thought I would test his skills. I am very indecisive and never thought I would be able to choose a design that would last me the rest of my life but I knew the basics of what I wanted. So I emailed Tom and in just a couple days I had the most perfect design drawn. The drive from Manchester to Sheffield took just over an hour but was well worth it. Tom spent a good amount of time getting the sizing right and then drew the tree on me free hand. It looked just like the picture I was very impressed! And so the fun began. I had already had a tattoos before so I knew what to expect. The first tattoo Tom did for me was on the same part but opposite side (if that makes sense) of my body to a previous tattoo that hurt quite a bit. But Tom has this super calming manner about himself that he seems to share. I'm not saying it was pain free, but it definitely was less painful by a huge amount than my previous tattoos. Anyway, I lay there for 4 hours and the end result was fantastic! And the best part of it is I know it is unique because Tom designed it just for me and changed the parts I asked. I have since been back for more work done and plan to go back for the rest of my days. I would thoroughly recommend Tom from Tenacious Tattoo!

Each…read moreone was after a lengthy discussion about what I wanted, including lots of drawing up of designs etc to make sure I was really happy with it. Then, cup of tea in hand, I lay back and let her do her work. I've had several tattoos from various studios, but Deryn is the best artist who has ever tattooed me - she's calm, happy to chat to take your mind off things, happy to take a break if you need it. The designs done by her (wrist and ankle) barely hurt at all. The shop (just round the corner from Darnall train station so fairly easy to get to) is welcoming and scrupulously clean, and all the staff are really friendly. They're very dedicated to making sure that tattoos are done right, so everything is (as it should be) sterilised/wrapped etc. Even with the high quality kit out and service, it's still incredibly moderately priced. Looking at work done by the other artists I'd say this is one of the best studios in the UK, and with a range of specialisations there will be an artist to suit most people. I can't see me travelling anywhere else.

I called in Pro Body Studios a while ago now and I've totally forgotten to review it, so I'm…read morepleased to finally add a review for this place today, with it currently having no Yelp reviews up to the point I write this. Pro Body Studios is one of the many hairdressers / barbers in Oldham, which is a town which also home to Town Barber, across the way from here and a branch of Supercuts. When I came in, I was so upset with the service, the staff seemed more concerned with having a conversation amongst themselves rather than making sure I'm comfortable/okay etc. The waiting time was okay, I did have to wait which was a shame as Im the sort of person who normally likes to get in and out of places quickly, especially when it comes to having my haircut. The woman who cut my hair, was quite heavy handed and did catch my head a few times with the razor. The music inside was also a little too loud for my liking, and I just didn't like it either which was a shame. This place is also up quite a large step as you go in, making it quite hard with prams/wheelchairs and the elderly, which is also a shame. I can't even help but question the qualification of the staff here, who even left my hair really wet and made no attempt to remove excess water or hair, which I feel was disgusting and made me feel I basically only had half a treatment, and this means I can't give Pro Body anything over a single one star.
