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.

Birmingham has more than it's fair share of tattooists with big media profiles. It also has a good…read moreselection of lesser known tattooists quietly churning out excellent work, week in, week out. Spider is one of those in the latter category. I don't have any work from Spider myself but I know plenty of people who have. I have also watched him tattoo. The work he does is of a high quality - I've seen great script he has produced as well as ultra smooth black and grey work and photorealism . Prices are cheap for the quality of work, and he is good with his customers, an important quality when you are practising an art as intimate as tattooing. If you're looking for ink you could a hel of a lot worse than going to Spider, but be warned - he is usually booked up quite a while in advance, so a spur of the moment tattoo might not be possible.

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.

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.

Simple story, this place butchered me…read more 2007, tattoo to the left of my stomach (sore area) an apprentice did the worst job you can imagine, but not only that he was dragging the needle across my skin causing me to bleed a lot more than need be. the tattoo its self had to be finished by someone else at another studio because i never wanted to step foot in there again, the back room where the tattooing was done was small and by far the worst studio i've ever been in. Though this was years ago and standards may of changed now (i really hope they have) i can't let that slide. JUST LIKE YOU LET THAT NEEDLE SLIDE ACROSS MY STOMCH. Amateur. Anyway i'm still hearing bad things about that studio even to this day si theres a million better places around so just avoid this one.

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!
