Love this place, great receptionists and great artists. Very…read morehappy with my first ink and currently looking to book in again. Great customer care and care sheets. Variety of skin care products and drinks inside. You can call or pop in at any time to arrange stuff and I'm sure you will receive the best help, advice or reassurance. My only issue which isn't on the studio itself is I wish some of the artists were a bit quicker with replies.

I took my girlfriend in to get her latest tattoo. Mark of…read moreRock Star uses this new needle which delivers a slower rate of impressions on the skin, but in turn makes it less painful. The style and the end product was great. The lines were that thin that he did the outline and the shading all in one go! Mark was easy to talk to, utter professional and will definitely be using his services again. Thanks again

I have had 3 tattoos done by Taran now- one of them a big thigh piece that took a good 4-5 hours to…read moreoutline. He is a fab artist and him and Mark always make me feel welcome.

Not a great shop at all. I booked an appointment at 12pm and didn't get seen until 1pm with no…read moreapology, got two flash tattoos. The first was fine but the artist went ti smoke afterwards and left the tattoo unwrapped and dripping with blood for over 15 minutes and still didn't wrap it on returning. She then rushed my second tattoo resulting in very wobbly lines and a tattoo that doesn't really look professional so I'm going elsewhere to get it fixed. The artist also used dry paper towel to wipe the needle between colours and I witnessed her picking bits of stuck paper towel from the needle while she was doing my tattoo. I emailed the shop to complain about this and explained I would like a refund or at least some of my money back towards getting the tattoos fixed but they have chosen to ignore me. I would never visit this shop ever again. The experience was horrible.

Between myself and my girlfriend we have had about 8 or 9 piercings done at this place. The lady…read morewho does them is very friendly and the equipment she uses is always new out of a packet and cleaned thoroughly. The shop itself is also very clean and has a hygiene certificate for both tattooists and piercers, and rightly so. I myself have not been in for a tattoo but there are pictures all over the walls and some look pretty amazing. Also, not being a tattoo kinda person, I'm not really sure if its cheap or not (prices ranging from £10 for a letter to over £500+ for the huge ones that cover pretty much the whole of your body). Piercings on the other hand are very cheap. £7 for ears, £15 for the likes of tongue, lip, nipple etc. I find that other places will charge you about £20 just for getting your ear pierced! Overall would definitely recommend this place for piercings, but as I said, I wouldn't know about tattoos so you would have to go check it out.

My partner had a tattoo done here a couple of years back (of my name) and its fantastic. His lines are clean and the shop is clean too. I will be going back here for my next tattoo guaranteed. The only problem I find is the opening times, Im not actually sure when he's open lol.

Acero Arte is the only place I will go to in town to get piercings. I love it in there!…read more If you're nervous about getting a piercing, this is definitely the place to go and get it done. Everyone is lovely, and will put you at ease with some decent craic! I've had a few piercings from here now, and I've never had a problem with any of them. The place is very clean and professional. They are also hot on getting parental consent if you're younger too, which is nice to see that they don't just pierce anyone that walks in the door.

I cannot express my disappointment with this so-called 'tattoo parlour'. My experience here was an…read moreabsolute nightmare. The artists were d*cktasteful and unprofessional. They had no respect for my wishes and didn't want to tattoo my d*ck. It's clear that they care more about making a quick buck than creating quality artwork. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else where you can get the respect, the quality service and the d*ck tattoo that you deserve.

AWFUL customer service! Had to remove piercings as soon as done and refused refund!…read more I have had a piercing done here before and it was done wonky. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and went back to get more ear piercings. Initially I was over charged for the three piercings I was about to get and student discount was not offered to me even though it is available and then the piercings were once again done very off centre and wonky. I only noticed this once I got home and took a picture of my ear to see how they lay on my ear. To make it worse one piercing fell out due to it being pierced badly. I rang pure ink and asked for advice and if I was able to get a refund and they said no due to signing of a consent form before the piercing got done. Nowhere on the consent form does it say refunds are not given. This is such bad customer service and it would be nice if they would sympathise with their customers and do all they can to help them out so that we will subsequently return to their studio. However once you give them their money that is it ..they will pierce you badly and you'll be left to your own devices... I had to take my other piercings out as I could not stand how bad they looked and wasted a lot of money.

To be greeted by an extremely…read morerude individual I believe was called 'Laurie' now I have never done this before but I was so disappointed and shocked by the rudeness of this man. I feel I have no choice. There was also a queue behind us, when we got out into the street a few people followed us to again out, said they had been turned away by to the rudeness of this man. I know at least 6 people then went to Unique Ink and all had tattoos there. my friend and I were so disappointed by this welcome we did not receive we would never go back and I know the other people who left felt the same. I have seen this studio is run by an individual who on social media seems to care about client experience.... I honestly think you should get rid of the reception/welcoming chap as he is clearly turning away business for you.
