I had a tattoo done here a couple of years ago and it is the worst I've ever had. The guy told me he was very experienced with line work and then after he'd done it told me he'd "decided to make the lines thicker because it looked better" despite this not at all being the design. The tattoo then did not match any others at all as it was very thick, crudely-drawn with raggedy lines. I am just about to have it covered up which prompted me to review the work.

Amazing tattooists. Helpful and friendly staff who will recommend which tattooist best suits your requirement.
Completely professional sterile environment, you can see all the equipment (tattoo machines/needles/etc) in their sterile packaging before use. Artists always wear latex gloves.
The studio is open plan but they will put up screens if you are uncomfortable or need to remove any amount of clothing.
Definitely recommend a consultation first as your chosen artist can create your unique design to fit where you want it on your body with a better idea of size/flow/positioning.

Right my first tattoo, so I was a little nervous, endless trips to the loo before arriving but there was no need. Matt put me at ease, talked through in detail about what I wanted, no rushing it through. End result just what I wanted. Would I recommend? Yes, without a doubt, friendly, clean, fab customer service on the phone before I went and all through my time there, what more can I say but a massive thank you!!

This studio is awesome! They offer unique, one-of-a-kind custom artwork that will turn heads, as well as stand the test of time. I've had some absolutely incredible work done by both Gerry and Ben, and had some fantastic conversations to boot. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and you'll come away with a tattoo you can be proud of for years to come. I can't recommend this place enough!
