I'm just back from getting my first ever major piece of ink at this place. I had a large design for…read moremy back, and I'm extremely happy with both the result and the experience! It's run by husband and wife team, Woody and Stef, and I had Stef work on me. It took over 4 hours for the whole thing, including breaks here and there, and I felt comfortable and in control the whole time. I was often asked if I was ok, needed to stop, wanted a drink, etc, in amongst a great chat that wandered through musical tastes, tattoo ideas and designs, stories of good and bad tattoo/piercing experiences...The 4 hours passed by extremely quickly! I am already keen to get back and get more! The service was warm and friendly, professional yet chatty. I'd definitely recommend it. And now a twist...Some of you may be wondering what a Luthier is? Well, that's a maker of musical instruments such as violins and guitars. Looking for a truly original, custom made guitar? Then this is the place for you! I can't write a proper review of this side of the business as I haven't personally experienced it, however the boyfriend is seriously considering getting one, so watch this space! :D

Cannot recommend this place enough from the minute I walked in the door with an idea to actually…read morehaving it done. Owned by Nadia - i have my eye on one of her ideas - my tattoo was done my Mark who spent time going over exactly what I wanted and changing the design several times till I was happy with the final result. Mark was a lovely friendly guy who put me right at ease as lets face it it is a wee bit painful! I will be booking in here for my next one for sure!!

If you're looking for personalised service with a tattoo artist who will take great care of you and make sure you're happy with the work she does, this is the place. I've been tattooed twice by Nadia, am booking in for my third piece and highly recommend her. No question is too stupid, no piece too geeky! I've been to other studios but have never felt more comfortable getting needles stuck in me has I have here. EI is a small studio with just one piercer and one tattoo artist but what they lack in size they more than make up for in style. Both owners care deeply about making sure you come away from the shop smiling, and I always do - or else I wouldn't keep going back!

I managed to get a very cosy cardigan, however the store alarm went off as I tried to leave which was very embarrassing as there was a huge gang of teenagers standing outside. I wasn't sure what to do as there was no security guard, so I popped back in and joined the queue and explained to the staff who didn't even apologise but just rubbed the security code off and sent me on my not so merry way.

She is really good and will design your tattoo on the computer or you can pick tattoos from the computer or take your own design in for her. I am currently going to get a tattoo from her and she took photos of my old tattoo and designed another around my one I already have which I thought was really good as it gave me an idea of what it was going to look like. She also does tattoo removal. I know someone who has had this done and it works really well. She also does tattoo cover ups. Amazing tattooist who really knows what she is talking about and will offer great advice on what you want. She does hair extensions, acrylic nails and body piercings. These are all at amazing prices.

Why haven't I reviewed Infamous Ink already?! Whilst I'm too much of a wuss to get that tattoo I've…read morealways wanted, I can certainly vouch for Infamous Ink when it comes to the piercing side of things. - The two ear piercings I've had since living in Stirling were done here. Both were incredibly impulsive decisions and I was able to be squeezed in without any real wait time. The piercing guy has a lot of piercings and tattoos himself and is funny enough to take away any pre-piercing niggles you have. (But just take a deep breath, you'll be fine!) He also recommended some tips on caring for my piercing during the healing process (You're going to get really familiar with rock salt, hot water and cotton buds..) and told me not to hesitate to pop in if I had any problems. As far as I can remember it was really affordable and they also have a piercing loyalty card which is valid on several kinds of piercings. You can collect and save up for a free piercing! (Like I need the encouragement!) Speaking of piercings, it's been a while since my last...
