    This is got to be one of the best tattoo / piercing shops I've ever stepped into. Roni is the…read moreperson that did my piercings I really enjoyed the service and our company was great very non judgemental. I've had tattoos in the past and have had piercings in the past but they really know what they're doing here I still have my piercing after almost a year.

    I've never written a Yelp review before, but after my experience today I just had to!…read more I went to the other location in Leicester Square because the Charing Cross one is tattoo-only. I went tonight without an appointment. I was extremely nervous going into the shop, as I hate needles and I've only had my ears pierced once before, but as soon as I met Roni (who has the most interesting collection of facial tattoos and piercings, and his eyeballs are tattooed black! whew!) I instantly felt better. Roni made the whole process quick and (practically) painless. My wait time was around 20 minutes tops, and it cost £25 for my nose piercing. The atmosphere of the shop was busy busy busy, with loud upbeat music playing and a tattoo machine buzz in the background. After waiting, Roni took me to the back and was calm the whole time, asking me about myself and talking about life in London. It definitely helped relax me, and for that I'm grateful. He was very patient and gave me time to decide exactly where I wanted the stud to be. Everything was clean and sterile. I was done within 10 minutes - Roni really knows his stuff (I think he said he's been in the business for a decade or so?). I would definitely come back here for any other piercings/tattoos.

    Barry Louvaine's House of Living Art is a tattoo artist built around the artful fame and…read moreinteresting projects undertaken by Mr Barry Louvaine himself. Opened in 1974, Barry was the one responsible for the world's largest tattoo according to the Guinness Book of Records: The Leopard Man. Google it and prepare to either be amazed or disgusted! Barry Louvaine has sadly died since, but his honour lives on in this interesting, murky little shop where very capable tattoo artists and a host of unique ink designs line the walls. As with any tattoo artist, a full range of body piercing is available as well, and at a cost of only £25, you can definitely be the main cause of conniptions in your home within a few minutes.

    I went here for my second tattoo. I was terrified. I always am when I enter tattoo shops. Sometimes…read morethe staff have a cooler-than-thou attitude. I needn't have worried as the staff here are soo friendly, down-to-earth and generally very welcoming. The receptionist made me feel right at home. I was able to get a same day appointment, which was great. I don't recommend impulse tattoos, but I'd been thinking about it for a while so I knew I wouldn't regret it. When I came back for my appointment, an artist called Steli (seriously good) did my tattoo. It took him 2 hours and I really feel I must point this out: I brought an outline of the design I wanted. He took about half an hour to do it and then told me he had an idea for more that could be added to it. He asked if I was ok with this. I placed my trust in him and I'm glad I did. He spent the next one and a half hours adding numerous details (including some white to give it extra shine) to really bring it to life. It's currently my favourite tattoo and it practically leaps off my skin. When I came back after the healing period (three weeks), he was impressed with how well I'd looked after it. Another plus is that as they are in south London, their prices are reasonable rather than through the roof, unlike many tattoo shops in north and central London. If you are looking for a good tattoo, go here. You will not be disappointed.
