I went to this place to get a surface bar piercing and only after the guy stuck me with the needle 3 times, he told me he had never done the piercing before.
Now I'm stuck with the scar because the guy behaved unethically. Wouldn't recommend the place for getting piercings.

Royston is hands-down one of the best tattoo artists in South Africa. I wouldn't go anywhere but Chapman's, and travelled 150km+ just to have work done there. Worth the travel and worth every penny.

Had an industrial piercing done here. Absolutely shit job. If I could give a negative rating I would. Bar was way to small so didn't allow for a bit of ear swelling. Also ended up with a bad infection 2 days later. Their advice on cleaning wasn't good at all, they weren't even 100% sure what material the bar was. My mistake for going there.

Chapman's Tattoo Emporium breaks away from the conventional "heavy music" and intimidating shop assistants. This friendly staffed, welcoming studio, is ideally situated inside one of South Africa's top live music venues, Arcade Empire, what this means for you..... if you come for your tattoo during the day, you can enjoy a light lunch, a quick drink to calm the nerves, play a game of pool, or get carried away with an old - school arcade game. The airbrush and hand-painted murals on the walls are sure to keep your mind occupied whilst eagerly awaiting the reveal of your newly acquired body art. Talented Artists, Friendly & inviting Studio. All - in - all a Great Experience.
