So 4 days ago I got my tongue pierced in mad tatters in WELLINGBOROUGH. When having it pierced it bled and it was very wonky however I was told after the swelling had gone down it would be fine . An hour after having it done it still was bleeding and I returned to the shop and told them I believed it had gone through a vein. The piercers said it was fine and I should leave it to heal and see how it goes from there, if I wanted to take it out I should go back to the shop. From then I was using mouthwash every time I ate and I was only eating soft foods ! In this time it was in constant pain and I was sure something was wrong. On the fourth day of having my piercing I was ready to go out and suddenly felt blood running down my tongue. I was in the toilet for 20 minutes spitting pure blood with huge clots and was scared for my life due to the amount of blood I had lost. The blood was pouring and was splattering up the walls. The ambulance arrived and they said i would have to take it out however I couldn't due to the agony I was in . I text the mad tatters Facebook page and they was certain I had caught it however I didn't think this was the case. The ambulance left and I left the piercing until it started to swell and the balls on the bar were deep into my tongue. I was scared to sleep incase I swallowed the bar. As the shop and ambulance instructed me to , I look the bar out . As soon as I slid the bar out the tongue splurged with even more blood than before . I used a blanket for the blood to fall into. We rushed straight over to A n E where the nurses and doctors were extremely shocked with how much blood I had lost and was immediately seen . I was then saw by another doctor who checked me over where I was then told it had gone through a vein which is why the bleeding was so excessive ! I went into the shop today and asked to speak to the manger however I was not allowed to speak to her because I am only 17 however the shop were happy to give me nipple piercings when I am only 17 .. they have also admitted to going against the law and not asking me for ID for these. On the consent form where It also stated I am under 18 .I am traumatised by this and have now had to miss time of work due to this. I have been in contact with the shop and they haven't yet done anything for me and all they have to say is that I must have knocked it even after being told by doctors it had gone through a vein!!! I have had four piercings in this shop and they have been ok but this one was done terribly . After this experience I really do not recommend you go here for piercings!

(New owners were quite happy dissing the old ones even though our tattoos got butchered) Pains me even to give this place one star wish there was a option for 0.DONT GO HERE!!!!!!

It was quick, NEAT, clean, and very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this place and tell my friends. also I had a great chat with my tattoo artist to help ease my fears and get my mind off of it. Also she refused to start unless I was 100% satisfied with the location and sketch of it...that was nice :)

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 got my first tattoo from Chris 2 years ago and when I was ready for my second I made the trip to Norwich (from TEXAS, USA) to have him do my second one as well.

( which i must say in my opinion is above and beyond what any others have done. ) others have had me draw them myself and tattoo'd that on me, complete with my own drawing mistakes. Give these guys a 10 outta 10. would i recommended them ? i have already. would i go back ? got more tattoo's their drawing up for me to be done. so hell yeah i going back. These guys take pride in their work, so your guaranteed perfection, at a very affordable price.
