I have had three tattoos at Reds now and everytime it has been a great experience. The staff are very friendly and create a comfortable environment. The work they produce is excellent and you can tell they take care and pride in every piece they do. Read Less

I had a walk-in piercing done at Red's. I was originally intending on two piercings, but the piercer -terrible with names sorry -talked me through the fact that due to the shape/size of my ear one of the locations I wanted would not work well and I'd be risking rejection/scarring. I settled on just one piercing, and the process was sanitary, smooth and (relatively!) painless. Pricing was good and I'm very happy with the result. Felt like the guy was very honest and realistic with me. I then spoke to one of the ladies about potentially getting a small tattoo done that day. She advised me that the size of the design I wanted was too small, and that it'd look bad after a couple of years. I decided to take some time to figure out what I want - but I was very impressed at how seriously the team takes the quality of their work and how much they seemed to care about the long term result for their customers. It would have been easy for them to just do what I wanted and make some money but they gave me honest professional advice and I feel confident that when I settle on a design I'll go to them. Red's was recommended to me by someone who has had several tattoos done there, and I can definitely say the quality of their work is top notch! 5 stars. Read Less

I've been tattooed at Red's twice now, excellent skills and atmosphere both times. Everyone is always top notch, very friendly and the artists are really good with working through the design you want with you to make sure it's perfect. The occasional walk-in days are a big bonus. Definitely my go-to for Colchester now, would recommend to anyone looking to get ink'd! Read Less

Reds is awesome. I’ve had 4 done there now and will 100% go back for more. Really nice studio, clean and well decorated, with a proper welcoming atmosphere. Staff are amazing too (shout out to Anna especially!). Would definitely recommend. Read Less

I had my first tattoo done at reds with the lovely Anna, she was so patient as I couldn’t decide what to get and after all the deciding she talked me through the whole process. The whole team are lovely and make you feel so welcome at the studio. I’m so pleased with the tattoo. Anna was a perfectionist and wouldn’t be let me leave until it was perfect :) Read Less

Sonya and the whole team at Red's are incredible. From the moment I walked into the studio to talk about my idea to the moment I left after my first tattoo, I was made to feel very welcome. I had my first 2 tattoos done by Sonya and I get comments almost daily about how beautiful they are! I'd recommend Red's to anyone!❤️ Read Less

Always fantastic service when I'm here! I've had 2 tattoos from them now and will continue going there. The staff are extremely friendly, polite and easy to get along with and have a laugh. They provide fantastic artwork for you to look at for design ideas and create there own work as well which is just incredible. All staff are extremely knowledgeable and also explain the best aftercare needed for when the tattoo is done. Read Less

Im always very anxious about trying to find a good tattoo shop with great artists. Well this is one of them!! Very welcoming and no skin heads with tattooed faces in sight. Spent 6 hours starting my sleeve with Sophie - an amazing artist, she also created a sketch for my sleeve within a few days which is a very quick turnaround. Overall 5 star treatment, atmosphere & skill. will for sure be recommending this parlour to anyone who wants a tattoo big or small. Read Less
