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.

I recently developed an insane hankering to get an ear spiral and spotted this place while out and…read moreabout. What a lucky spot - it's a gem! (Pun intended...) I spoke to the owner Sam and asked about their hygeine procedures. She insisted on showing me around and explaining exactly how they do things - very reassuring. I've been in some tattoo/piercing places where they sneer at you for any question you dare to ask, but this couldn't have been more different, she was happy to chat and answer everything. Since the jewellery they had in wasn't quite right for my ear she recommended somewhere I could get a suitable piece (another point in favour - wanting to do things properly rather than just take my money) so all in all I went back there about four times before actually getting it done - got a friendly and helpful reception each time. It's a slightly tricky and painful piercing, but it helped that I felt assured that Sam knew what she was doing, and she was the right mix of sympathetic and businesslike. She asked me a couple of times if I was ok or needed a drink of water, but didn't fuss too much or prolong things - perfect for a wuss like me! Plus she asked if she could take a photograph at the end which made me feel like a celebrity, always nice (delusional? :p ) I ended up with a wicked piercing and some good advice on aftercare with a free bottle of their saline solution thrown in. If I decide on another piercing I'll be back here in a heartbeat.

Every member of staff is knowledgeable, friendly and extremely talented; Danny and Adam are nothing short of miracle workers. Levels of hygiene are excellent and prices very reasonable, and I would happily recommend this place to anyone.

Yes, yes, yes, yes!…read more I got my third tattoo here, and it's where I plan to get my next bigg'un, Alexandra and Violet are lovely to boot, and both seriously know their stuff, head up the stairs through the doors into the delightfully gothic little studio, purple and sterile, smells clean without overpowering chemical smells. Slideshows of past work and designs flicking around on the screens, with a playlist that echoes the impeccable alternative tastes of the owners. Alexandra is the resident inker, and Violet the piercer, they both know their stuff, Alex having done quite an extensive art history degree to back up her drawings. I wanted a small piece to commemorate getting through a stint of ill health and operations, getting a dot work acorn on my ankle, the dot work here in particular is divine, but alex can lend herself to so so many styles. No issues, no bleeding out, and healed like an absolute dream, still clear and lovely months on, definitely no putting the ink in the wrong depths here. I'm yet to have a piercing here, mostly because I keep wimping out of one i've been considering for some time, but I know a lot of people with ink and piercings from here, never mind the two instagram accounts you can follow, and I have never seen a problem. They've been quick to help properly on coverups and ill-done piercings from other places too. They also sell high end high quality body jewellery such as anatometal, industrial strength etc and decent natural healing stuff like hustler butter. Go here, book here, get it done!
