So a tattoo in Camden Town was a must. After a few emails sent out to different shops, "Hell To Pay" got back to us quickly and professionally. We were able to set up a appointment with a £50 deposit (that goes to the final price of the work) worked out perfect because they were all booked for the day. Clean place and everyone was real cool. I was happy with the results. They made us feel welcome. The work they do is real good. I believe they have Instagram, so check it out for yourself. If ever I'm back in London I'll make sure to visit them again. To all you at "Hell To Pay" thank you very much!

When looking around London for the best place to get my tattoo done, it was really important for me…read moreto find somewhere I felt comfortable in the shop and with the staff. I was relieved to find a chill, friendly vibe at East Side Tattoo. It wasn't my first tattoo, but if I think this would be a good place for first timers as well. I knew exactly what I wanted, and the receptionist/artist/guy was kind enough to search the design I wanted on Google images and print it off for me. I wanted a slight change, and after only a few minutes, the tattooist made the change I wanted and it looked AWESOME. He was friendly during the whole tattoo, which I really appreciated. I got my first tattoo with a guy who was such an ass and I wanted to be sure to avoid any thing like that. I was very happy with my tattoo and with the service here, would totally come back. Highly recommend, I have no complaints.

I came here to get my nose stud changed. I'd had it pierced a year ago at a well-known piercing…read moreshop in Central London but it had never fully settled, so I thought I'd try somewhere else to change the jewellery (and ask for a second opinion on how the piercing itself was faring). I chose Stotker as it's local to me and had really good reviews. I am *so* glad I came here. The piercer, Edyta, greeted me warmly and took me through to her studio. I'd brought my own stud, an internally threaded labret like the one I'd been pierced with but with a smaller gem. As soon as she saw it, Edyta expressed concern. She advised against wearing a labret in a nose piercing as they are so hard to keep clean, meaning you have to root around with a cotton bud and just keep irritating the piercing. I was so relieved to hear this, as it's exactly what I'd been experiencing - and we had a really good and frank chat about it. She suggested I try a nose screw with a tiny gem and a narrow gauge, explaining why it would be better for me, and I was convinced enough to go for it. She gave me a big selection to choose from. She gently unscrewed my labret (apologising as it was irritated and bled a bit) and inserted the nose screw. Despite the angry bump by my piercing, I was delighted with the dainty gem and felt I *finally* had what I had wanted. Edyta advised saline solution twice a day for two weeks, and guaranteed (with impressive conviction!) that the piercing would finally settle down. A week and a half later, and I can say she was dead right. I am completely thrilled to finally have the beautiful piercing I'd imagined when I'd first decided to get it done, and only wish I'd come to this great local studio in the first place. I've wanted other piercings but my experience with my nose put me off; now I feel curious again and will definitely come here next time :) And a word of wisdom - *don't* get your nose pierced with a labret stud. It's not fun doing saline soaks on a swollen red piercing twice a day for an entire year. Including on holiday. :/

I did a lot of research before deciding on this shop. A LOT…read more Mind, this was not my first tattoo. Not even my second. This was my fourth - it just happened to be my first tattoo done by someone other than my regular US guy, Guf. But I knew that if I was getting a tattoo on this trip, it was going to have to be done in London, for the meaning of it all. As I say, I did a lot of research. I corresponded with several shops via e-mail, since we weren't in the UK at the time. The tattoos that we wanted were fairly simple - a band logo, all black, and nothing special or crazy to be done with them. I even sent the shops jpeg copies of the image we wanted, just so they knew. We decided on Diamond Jacks for a few reasons, and planned our one Saturday in London around being at the shop right when they opened, and staying for as long as it'd take to do two small-ish tattoos. We showed up right at 11 am, but the shop was closed up tight. Undeterred, we did a couple quick laps around the neighborhood (kind of sketchy, if you're easily scared off), and the next time we stopped by, the door was open. Up the stairs we went to talk with the first person we came into contact with. We discussed everything we wanted, and he said he could have someone do it that day, but that he had an appointment already. They had us sit down to fill out some paperwork, and I handed over a high quality hard copy of the image in question. Not long afterwards, they came to get us. We were taken upstairs to have our tattoos done at the same-ish time - and I think they were brothers. We never got their names, which kind of annoys me (they didn't introduce themselves, and I didn't think to ask till it was too late), but they were quick and efficient. My version is on my forearm, and is quite small, compared to my husbands (which is on his calf). They went through the whole speech about care and placement and all that, and my guy seemed a bit shocked when I told him that this is my fourth tattoo. I think he may have thought I was fibbing, but I was more than willing to bust out two of the three, at least, to prove it to him. At any rate, he quickly placed the stencil and got me set up, and before I knew it, he was going to town with the needle. It was quick and painless - for both of us - and we were in and out before the hour was up. It was kind of pricey for two small-ish tattoos, but I can't begrudge them that. Overall I'm happy with my tattoo. It looks how I want it to look, and it's not nearly as in-your-face as I was afraid it'd be (all my other tattoos are bright and colorful and cheery, whereas this one is all black). I'm glad we went, and I'm glad we have this permanent reminder of our epic European vacation.

It took 40 min for someone to pick up and after explaining the issue the phone was passed to a manager. The lady I talked to was rude and hostile throughout the whole conversation. She told me it wasn't her problem and not her mistake and how it couldn't be possible. I told her that I would take a video clip of me being directed to the website by google so she could see how I couldn't have known. After reviewing the video she comes to the same conclusion that it wasn't her problem and she wouldn't give me the money. I haven't used this tattooist but I'm officially still a paying customer because if this incident and I have never experienced customer service so poor. I tried to explain and not blaming them just asking nicely for a refund but she wasn't having it. Wouldn't recommend doing business with this kind of shady business.
