Worth the travel. Tom Au, one half of Tenacious Tattoo is…read morethe brother of a friend so when I found out he had trained to be a tattoo artist and opened up his own shop I thought I would test his skills. I am very indecisive and never thought I would be able to choose a design that would last me the rest of my life but I knew the basics of what I wanted. So I emailed Tom and in just a couple days I had the most perfect design drawn. The drive from Manchester to Sheffield took just over an hour but was well worth it. Tom spent a good amount of time getting the sizing right and then drew the tree on me free hand. It looked just like the picture I was very impressed! And so the fun began. I had already had a tattoos before so I knew what to expect. The first tattoo Tom did for me was on the same part but opposite side (if that makes sense) of my body to a previous tattoo that hurt quite a bit. But Tom has this super calming manner about himself that he seems to share. I'm not saying it was pain free, but it definitely was less painful by a huge amount than my previous tattoos. Anyway, I lay there for 4 hours and the end result was fantastic! And the best part of it is I know it is unique because Tom designed it just for me and changed the parts I asked. I have since been back for more work done and plan to go back for the rest of my days. I would thoroughly recommend Tom from Tenacious Tattoo!

I've had a couple of tattoos from Deryn, one of the artists and owners of Tenacious Tattoo. Each…read moreone was after a lengthy discussion about what I wanted, including lots of drawing up of designs etc to make sure I was really happy with it. Then, cup of tea in hand, I lay back and let her do her work. I've had several tattoos from various studios, but Deryn is the best artist who has ever tattooed me - she's calm, happy to chat to take your mind off things, happy to take a break if you need it. The designs done by her (wrist and ankle) barely hurt at all. The shop (just round the corner from Darnall train station so fairly easy to get to) is welcoming and scrupulously clean, and all the staff are really friendly. They're very dedicated to making sure that tattoos are done right, so everything is (as it should be) sterilised/wrapped etc. Even with the high quality kit out and service, it's still incredibly moderately priced. Looking at work done by the other artists I'd say this is one of the best studios in the UK, and with a range of specialisations there will be an artist to suit most people. I can't see me travelling anywhere else.

An unassuming but very well run Tattoo Studio between Sheffield and Rotherham…read more High quality work is done on site by quality tattoo artists in a spotless studio. With health and safety at the fore for a business like this it's refreshing to find both taken very seriously at Ink Surgery. What's more the guys who work here are extremely friendly and helpful, so they can guide you through various designs and options and are more than capable of rustling up fantastic original or custom-made designs. Tattoos are not to be rushed and that's how it works here. Great for those heavily inked but a brilliant place to get that first tattoo. Outstanding.

I get it though, they are modest in their approach, but that's because they produce sick tattoos and like me you probably had an attitude with them.

I went into Q tattoo with my partner to ask about getting a cover up tattoo done…read more When I walked in there were 2 men whom I assume were the artists sitting at the desk. They didn't acknowledge us even though the studio was empty. I had brought some inspiration for what I wanted on my iPad which I showed to them. They didn't seem interested in the slightest. One of them looked at the pictures/ website and the other asked him what it was. The guy snorted and told him "it's not even real designs mate, it's Pinterest". I showed them my existing tattoo on my shoulder and again they didn't seem bothered. They said they couldn't do a cover up without doing laser first. I asked if they did laser and they said I'd have to go somewhere else. I said thank you, and left. They didn't even acknowledge that. I have since had a tattoo coverup done at another studio without needing laser and it's exactly what I wanted so it can be done. I wouldn't recommend visiting this place. I don't know why Yelp will not recommend this review. I'm merely sharing my experience of what happened to me when I visited the tattoo parlour in January 2014.

I noticed the girls being pierced were given a complimentary after-care pack on leaving the studio, which I thought was a nice touch. My tattoo was done by Luke, master of straight lines. I thought a rectangle would have been a simple tattoo to do but found out that most artists wont touch straight lines and perfect circles with a barge pole. So I am absolutely chuffed with my crisp, straight lined rectangle. Whilst in the shop I bought a few tapers for my ears too, which I thought were really reasonably priced.
