Because of the nature of the business, you have to have an appointment, and must be let in by one of the staff. Going up the stairs, you see the attention bro derail in how the place is decorated. Upstairs, we signed in and waited for the person that their appointment was with. That person was awesome they took the time to chat with and explain the process. It really put my friend at ease. I can honestly say if I were going to get something pierced or inked, I'd feel comfortable and confident here.

I then rescheduled for a 1pm appointment but when I arrived I was told that Lyle was with another client and the work was more intricate than he first thought. I was given the option of having the work done by Nathan - I was sceptical as he was young so I asked if he was sure he could do the work whereupon he showed me several photos on his phone of work he had done previously, most of which appeared to be well done. I wanted two words (the nickname for my daughter ), a four word phrase, two music notes and a small Texas Bluebonnet flower. Nathan said they had tattooed Texas Bluebonnets before so he knew what they were and what they looked like. I showed him a photo of a tattoo of a bluebonnet my daughter had recently had done and which was beautiful. Nathan, told me, after he had finished the tattoo that he had problems with my older skin (I'm 73) - if that was the case he should have stopped at the first sign of a problem so we could discuss how to proceed -- but he didn't. What I ended up with was thick lettering, the one single music more resembling an exercise hand dumbbell and the Texas Bluebonnet looking nothing like a flower, rather it looks like a hairy blue banana which is going a little mouldy along its green centre line. I have been in contact with Stu the owner, who did offer suggestions in the form of more music notes, but the tattoo itself is so ugly that additional work would be like trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I am now looking at over £1,000 to have the tattoo removed by a well-established dermatology business. As I am a pensioner, this is an extra cost I will have some difficulty paying, especially with today's excessively high cost of living. I suggested to Stu that perhaps I should be reimbursed the amount I paid to have this eyesore tattooed tattooed -- he said I should return to the shop and ask Nathan if he would reimburse the money. I live a considerable distance from Glasgow and with ferry fare, train fare and taxi I would have to pay out over £30 to return - and would Nathan reimburse my money - I doubt it. I may be a senior but I'm not stupid enough to throw good money after bad. Shame on you Stu, Nathan, Lyle and Hepcat Tattoo.

Couldn't say that any one was any better than the others, just depends on what you want done. My latest tattoo was actually a refresh of one that I'd had for more than thirty years. The colours had faded and the lines had blurred, but it meant a lot to me, a reminder of my misspent youth :-) Because of this I'd been quite wary about letting anyone touch it, even to bring it back to it's former glory. I didn't want to spoil something that was so deeply personal to me. When I finally gathered the courage to do this, I contacted Rock n Roll to see who they would recommend for this kind of work. My artist Daniel was fantastic. He was very careful to discuss with me what I actually wanted and when we were both ready, he started work. The end result was far more than I could possibly has wished for. He sharpened the lines, gave it shading and colour, highlighted the bits that needed it. All in all, it looked pristine! Have to admit that looking at it now brings back memories that I thought I had lost. Thanks Daniel and thanks R'n'R

They have some decent artists but it seems like the management/ownership are terrible and unprofessional. They have been sitting on my deposit that I've been trying to get back for months due to my appointment being cancelled during lockdown and the artist with whom I had booked subsequently leaving. I was willing to book with another artist to save the hassle of trying to get a refund, but was made to wait three months (!!) before being offered an appointment - in that time, I saw them posting daily on instagram looking for new clients, obviously giving them priority slots over the existing customers who's deposits they were already sitting on. They then offered me an appointment eleven months down the line! They have admitted they are wrong (it took three emails and the threat of court to even get a reply!) and have offered to refund me, but over a month later I am still waiting for my money. They've completely ghosted me, not returning any e-mails and telling me when I call that management will get back to me (no prizes for guessing if that's happens). There are MANY good, reputable studios with good artists in Glasgow, and a company that treats treats their customers like this definitely doesn't deserve anyone's custom!
