I went to Hepcat Tattoo for what should have been a simple tattoo. Things did not go well from the…read morestart as I made an appointment with Lyle who then contacted me to reschedule - twice (both times for personal reasons). 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.

My guy and I popped in here to ask about their laser removal. He has a piece on his arm he got…read morewhen he was younger that is just about light enough to cover (the person he used to go to for removal moved to Edinburgh) but he was thinking he wanted just one more go at removal before getting it covered. He was told that he might not need another go at it given how light it was, which was nice to hear knowing that the guy who does removal wasn't going to just take his money for nothing. I asked about some small stars on my arms that are quite light due to a previous attempt to have them removed so I asked him about those as well. Apparently, the laser her uses doesn't remove blue at all, which is why he wouldn't take me as a client either. I really appreciated being told that instead of just giving it a go and wasting my money. For anyone who wants some tattoos removed, this is the place to go. Honest answers and honest work.

The artist seemed ok during the consultation. I loved what she drew up she then told me the price i felt like i was being way over charged for what she was doing but loved the design so wasn't too bothered. She put the stencil on and got to work i tried to detract myself from the pain she didnt talk back and was out right rude to me. I started twitching that i couldnt help because i was in so much pain i was almost crying she said "can you just stop twitching". She was rude short tempered and made my tattoo experience horrible. After all that she stopped tattooing i looked at it in the mirror and it was unfinished she said she would add more if i came back and made another appointment. So after paying for 2 hours she stopped after an hour and a half. Would not recommend getting tattooed by this girl or going to this shop in general.

The cost for piercings is pretty average for any other place you might go but as i was getting 3 piercings at once he offered me the cheapest one for free, and said that that was pretty standard for someone getting a few things done at the same time. I was a bit silly that day as had gone along without eating anything, so i was given a handful of chocolates to ensure i didn't pass out! (something to do with blood sugar levels when getting pierced/tattoo'd) Although i said where i wanted the piercings, he drew dots on my ears for me to chose exactly where i wanted it. The aftercare was great too, i was told exactly how to look after them and to pop in if i wanted help changing them over etc. So next came the tattoo!! i was pretty nervous for this, especially as part of it goes across my ribs and the guy at the desk was like ''oooo that's gonna nip a bit''!! (and he's a pretty tough looking guy!) The guy doing my tattoo said the same thing too, but encouraged me to use 'colourful' language if it helped!! It did!! Although i don't think it helped the two girls waiting after me, as desk guy said he could hear me from up stairs. oops. Ive been putting on the cream they gave me 4 times a day since and so far its not even scabbed!! and it looks purty :D will definitely be going back here for my second one!!

A couple of friends had some tasteful tattoo's done from here, and I came along for support. Alright, I came to watch as well! They were really pleased with the results - the tats were simple but looked great, and seemed to have a remarkable, seamless healing time. Although the staff have gathered an extensive back catalogue if you're looking for inspiration, they are also willing and indeed eager to be creative with your designs. There are a lot of books lining the shelves if you're looking to do something a bit different with your idea. It's an inspirational environment but most importantly, the staff respect you and give you free reign over your design. Tribe isn't merely a tattoo parlour - it's also a piercing studio. I had a few ear piercings done in here and would definitely go back for more. The staff are soothing and made the procedure relatively painless. It was also very reasonably priced and to my knowledge the cost has not rapidly steepened over the years. Tribe 2 Tattoo is a very open, accomodating tattoo studio - none of your sleazy back alley vibe in here. But if that's what you're looking for, it's also a very cool place with vibrant, friendly personalities behind the counter. If you're looking to get pierced or inked by a reputable establishment, I'd point you in the direction of here.
