What a cool place this is..... I wanted a tattoo that was a bit different, I'd read some good reviews so thought I'd go see them, I explained what I was after and within a few days I was gettin tattooed, Julia who was inking me was awesome and very professional, she made feel at ease and was easy to chat too which added to the whole experience, she constantly asked if I was ok and if I needed a break, my tattoo turned out better than I expected more than impressed and would recommend EVERYBODY thinking of getting a tattoo to go there. Thanks Julia and the guys at ebb & flow will DEFINITELY RETURN Read Less

WARNING SUPER CHEESY REVIEW Amazing work, amazing artists and just generally AMAZING people! You need not ever feel intimidated walking into here...you are always welcomed with a friendly face (and a cuppa 😉). I will ALWAYS recommend these guys to anyone who asks. I've been going to Alan for a few years now and his old school neo-traditional work is spot on. I've had numerous people approach me when I'm out and about and just point at my arm and say "Inky Al?" and I always get compliments on my sleeve 😊. I've watched Julia's talent grow from being a receptionist, to an apprentice to one of the best artists i've seen. Keep up the good work guys!!! Read Less
