I came in last month to start a sleeve with Nik. I literally couldn't be any happier with it, the detail is incredible! I love showing it off and I receive so many compliments from people I always recommend loaded forty four. I was made to feel very welcome as soon as I walked through the door and the staff are so nice, asking if I wanted a brew or anything throughout the day. The parlour itself is very clean and tidy and I loved all the art work up on the walls. I can't wait to book back in to add to my sleeve and definitely will be coming in for any other tattoos and piercings I want, I wouldn't go anywhere else now. Read Less

Rang up last minute for a tattoo that was close to my heart. Was made to feel welcome right from the start. I have visited one other tattoo parlour and it felt like a conveyer belt of people, hence I walked out because of the poor attitude. Pepe was fantastic where he designed my tattoo immediately. Was extremely pleased with it and will highly recommend this place. Now I am convinced I will have another. Don't go anywhere else, please come here! Read Less

Extremely good art work goes on there and very friendly staff, you can guarantee there's never a dull moment when you go in there and you won't be disappointed with their work. They put a lot of time and effort into their piercings and tattoos which can be clearly seen by their images they upload daily.

I first when to Loaded after I encountered a bad experience and bad art work from a parlour in Bolton. I showed them my shabby tattoo and after a good long chat about ideas to re-work it, we decided upon a cover up. The cover up that one of the artists (Beau) did was a much larger tattoo than the original and took 3 hours. I was amazed at at the end product and the detail put in. They were all so friendly and talked to me all the way through it, making the hours fly by and the experience pleasant. I have had four tattoos in total by Loaded, and another few booked with them. I enjoy going and talking to all the staff, they work around you putting their customers first, working flexible hours to suit you and are there 24/7 to help or answer any questions or worries you have. They are highly hygienic and all the artists are fantastic. I would deffo give their stuff a look and pop in to see them :)Read Less
