The worst tattoo I or any of my friends have, and quite possibly the rudest person I have ever met…read more Whilst the tattooing process was fine, if a little uncommunicative, I noticed issues with the line and dotwork as soon as I got a closer look at it. With lines which change thickness, go too deep, are not straight (even accounting for body movement), and dotwork which is uneven and occasionally goes outside the line, there's not a lot going for this tattoo. Upon complaining and being told to speak to the artist (Little Al), I went to talk to him. He denied that anything was wrong with the tattoo, refused any suggestion of a refund, and told me he was wasting his time talking to me and walked off. Whilst this is bad enough, it's not the end of the story. As I had mentioned going to another tattoo parlour who had said that it would be very difficult to fix, he proceeded to go there and interrogate them. Having received slightly different information from them (as I had visited the other parlour twice), he proceeded to call and summon me back to bodycraft, where he called me a liar, told me I was wrong, denied anything was wrong but simultaneously blamed me for healing it badly (not true) and the design, with highlights including him telling my friend to "shut up, it's not your tattoo you don't get to come here and talk to me like this" (she was not rude, she was merely supporting me). The parting note was a hell of "fine I won't fix it then", to which I have three responses: 1) you said there was nothing to fix, 2) you never offered to fix it, and 3) why the hell do you think I'd let you have another go at it? After all it's much harder to fix something than draw it right the first time. Luckily I am now booked in to another (lovely) tattoo parlour to be fixed. Although I have not experienced the rest of bodycraft, the sheer fact that this man's attitude and ego is allowed to stay there would put me off the whole business, to say nothing of the tattoo 'artist'. TL:DR - Do not go here.

For my first tattoo, I was unsure where to go but could see from online reviews that Bodycraft was…read morea good bet. People I spoke to warned me not to because of the attitude of people who worked there, I was told they were rude and arrogant. i went anyway and found them to be nice and did a relatively good job of a small and simple tattoo. I decided to return for my 2nd tattoo and I must say that I now see what everyone was talking about. They ARE rude. I went to the one on St James street after coming 20miles out of my way I was told that they had no time to fit me in. This is even though I rang the previous day to book an appointment and was told to just come in. I then walked to their 2nd studio on Pelham and you would have thought that I was selling Johova pamphlets.. The greeting I got was non-existant, the tattooists were all sat down, not working and seemingly not interested in doing so. I asked if anyone was available and was passed to an unpleasant man who barely looked at me when I described what I wanted. WIthout a thought he told me what I wanted wasnt possible, even though I had photographic evidence of it being done and I therefore walked out feeling insulted and embarrassed. Great way to make customers feel! From now on, not only will I not be giving them my business but I will be making sure no one else does either.

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.

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.

So I am absolutely chuffed with my crisp, straight lined rectangle. Whilst in the shop I bought a few tapers for my ears too, which I thought were really reasonably priced.
