The only tattoo shop I'll go to, have been to various in London and the south east but keep coming back to Rising Phoenix. Holli is absolutely bloody amazing (and the sweetest most wonderful person) and has done all of my tattoos in the last few years. Studio is exceptionally clean and staff are excellent. Shout out to Nic (owner/piercer) for my excellent dermal and aftercare even 6 months later. Read Less

I’ve only been to the reception(until next month😉) and the new refurb is so beautiful!! I definitely recommend this studio to anyone 100%, i prefer here than anywhere else!! Also the artists are so nice and chill!! Read Less

Absolutely fantastic! My first Tattoo experience and why did I wait so long. It was great. Special thanks to Kayman for doing a great job and enduring his own back pain for 6+hours. I just have to keep the tatt happy for a few more days and it'll be perfect. Hope to return as soon as I can get through the big waiting list. . . 😁 Read Less

Wanted my piercings for years but have a phobia of needles. I emailed in advance and Niki took great care to ensure that I was at ease. The procedure was done in minutes and I cant say enough how amazing the whole experience was. Fully recommend the Rising Phoenix, thank you. Read Less

FAB service! The staff are so lovely and friendly! Me and my friend came on £10 deal and they were FULLY booked but they still managed to squeeze us in even though they were closing! Thank you so much! We both love our piercings!! �� xx �� Read Less

Thank you Nic for the patience piercing my six year old. She was determined to get her ears done but was in floods of tears surprised by the pain of the first. Took us leaving and returning to compose herself, but with Nic putting her at ease she eventually got her second ear pierced. She was dancing through town so pleased with her piercings! Cant recommend highly enough. Read Less

Was nervous about having my tattoo reworked, but Holly put me at ease straight away, always checking if a break was needed or getting Chloe to get me cups of tea. It was a pleasure getting to know Holly, she's so easy to talk to. I'm now a proud owner of an amazing tattoo, I can finally show off. Thanks again to all at Rising Phoenix. I will definitely be back. Read Less

Martin started my sleeve last Friday, I am so in love with it already, the detail is just jaw dropping. I've had people stop me to ask to have a look. Martin has an amazing talent. They are all so lovely & friendly in there too. Bring on the next session � keep up the good work guys � Read Less

Having had my previous tattoos done at a studio in Bath I was a bit nervous about going elsewhere. Lots of people recommended Rising Phoenix so I knew they must be good. I wasn't disappointed, Nick did a fantastic job on my tattoo, it is so detailed, I absolutely love it! I get really nervous about the pain but felt relaxed as soon as I got in the chair and the time flew by ☺️ Thank you so much Nick and the rest of the team. I'll definitely be back! Read Less

Came in yesterday for a day sesh with Nick, and wow what can I say I'm in love with my new ink and think his work is amazing. Didn't feel like a I was there all day at all. Everyone there was friendly and I'll defo be back for more work with Nick soon Read Less

Thanks to Nick, I had my first tattoo just over a week ago. Loved the design Nick came up with and was put at ease straight away. Really pleased I went to such a professional place. Would highly recommend. Read Less

Absolutely Outstanding!!!! Having had several piercings by the wonderful Nik, and several more at other establishments, I can honestly say Nik has the magic touch. She is everything you want in a piercer; gentle, patient, precise, warm and caring. Superstar hole-puncher! Read Less

Hi all I suffered really bad with migraines from a very young age I was on medication for them i would go to bed with a migraine and still get up in the morning with a migraine i mean the doctors tried everything. So I heard about this Daith percing so I done a bit of research and thought well I will give it ago it might work or not so any way off I went to Rising phoenix to have my Daith done it was quick and easy. So it has been nearly 6 months I have had my Daith pierced and well one of the best piercing I have ever had from the day I had it done till now I have not had 1 migraine and I have now stopped my migraine medication. Highly recommend the Daith if you are a migraine suffer like myself. Read Less

Just over 2 weeks ago, I had my daith pierced, as a last resort to see if I could get my migraines under control. Most days I woke up with at least a nagging headache. Even taking preventatives I couldn't get my migraines under control, often just having to go to bed, miss work and feel pretty yukky, so had nothing to lose! Nic put me at ease, explained what was going to happen, without showing me the scary equipment. It was one of the quickest piercings and not at all painful. It is healing beautifully, don't even know it's there.Read Less

I had an awesome experience here. Being in a different country, I was a little apprehensive about approaching a tattoo shop. When doing a little Yelp recon, I found this shop and another nearby. This one had photos and no reviews. The other had one review and no photos yet. I decided to go with this one as the photos spoke to me more and gave me more information than that one review at the other place (that admitted they were a friend! No wait, drinking buddy, actually! Woops.)We walked into an alley way with some shops, and into an open door that revealed a plain hallway. We spotted another door with a Rising Phoenix sign, and opened it to find a staircase leading up. We heard music, and I saw a bit of tattoo-shop personality that felt familiar. The studio is not huge - maybe one of the smallest shops I've been to, but definitely not cramped. It's one big open room in the main part, and one end has two tattoo stations. It's not really a separate room for the tattoo chairs, but it looks like it's separated a little with some small bit of wall on either side, as if they opened up part of it with construction to make a huge doorway.The decoration is totally on point with what I love about tattoo shops. It's got a LOT of personality, as I mentioned, and they have a ton of antique, vintage items around. Skulls, photos, pretty frames, pics of tattoos, tattoo books, tattoo magazines, rad chairs, an oriental rug on the floor... They even have a shop dog. A little dachshund whose name is Rigby, if I remember correctly.. and he's so adorable and friendly.We walked up and talked to Nick behind the desk. She was SO friendly. I told her what we were looking for, and she called over Holly (I think and hope that I've got her name right!) who was visiting from another shop further North. Holly quoted me 70 pounds for approximately an hour of work. This exchanged roughly to $120 and I thought that was fair, being that Atlanta tattoo shops (where I'm from, in the US!) tend to be approximately $100-$150 per hour.I agreed, and asked if they had availability the next day. They sure did, and open bright and early at 10am! Wow, that's early for a tattoo, but I said SURE! I don't think many, if any, tattoo shops in Atlanta open before noon, but I might be wrong. They collected our 10 pound (approx $15) deposit, which was also surprisingly inexpensive to me, for a deposit - either trusting that we'd be back, or figuring if these tourists ended up chickening out, it must not have been a huge deal. :) She was able to put my email address and USA phone number in their appointment reminder program, because I got an email and a text confirmation - which was rad. The text even came from a USA number.Next morning, I got an OJ and some baked fruit snacks to put a little sugar in me (usually recommended so you don't get nauseous or pass out.) Nick offered me coffee or tea, and I accepted coffee since I hadn't had any yet that day. She brought it out to me in a beautiful fancy tea cup with saucer. I love how the British do things. :)Holly (jeez, I really hope I'm not remember her name wrong!) brought us back to a separate room. I was glad I didn't have to sit in the first chairs I saw, just because I need to be able to focus my thoughts through the pain, and people walking in and out might have distracted me. Actually, now that I think about it, maybe it would have been a good distraction, haha.  Not sure.She was all set up for me, because I was sipping my fancy coffee for a bit in the fancy retro chairs in the main waiting area. The room she was using is a bit small, but it was able to fit two additional people who were there with me! We listened to music, and I zoned out staring at a rose and their logo :)It took about an hour like she said, and that included her going over a few spots to make sure they were even and amazing-looking, and in the end, I'm very happy with her work and the customer service at Rising Phoenix. I did a little research and apparently it's not as common in England to tip tattoo artists (and other service individuals) but before we left, we tipped anyway to show our appreciation. I'd definitely recommend Rising Phoenix for any service - tattoo, piercing - or questions, even. Cheers! Read Less
