I was referred to Kevin Sharp by a trusted friend. He has some of the best artwork I have seen in…read morethe UK. I compare his tattooing to the likes of tattoos done by professional tattoo artists in Los Angeles and Miami. I have never gotten a tattoo in England because most tattoos I see on the British do not look very professional. I was taken by surprise when I saw Kevin's work, and I immediately knew he was the man to tattoo my wedding ring onto my ring finger. I gave Kevin very little information about myself and left him alone on his creative intelligence. I am so glad that I did because he drew the most beautiful design. Two hearts intertwined with the first letter of my husband's name in between the two hearts. The tattoo design was beautiful and the tattoo itself very beautiful. I have four years of work I have been saving to get done in the States because I don't trust anyone to tattoo my body here in the UK, but I have found this jewel in Beck Row who I trust and who does amazing work. I will be coming to Kevin again soon with the rest of the bits I want on my body. He charges £50 a hour which is really good because of the high grade work and professionalism of his craft. I couldn't be happier. The facility is clean. Everything was very hygienic. He even offers piercings and tattoo removals by laser. You can also find him on Face Book and send him a message to schedule your tattoo, piercing or tattoo removal. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Inkslingers-tattoo-studio/514386291967787 Best to find Inkslingers, he is near Yappies and the Chinese Restaurant on the right you will see a gravel drive way with a small black sign that reads Tattoos. As I was leaving his next appointment was eagerly waiting for his next tattoo, he was a repeat customer and seemed very excited to get his tattoo done, I can see why!

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.

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.
