Had first tattoo done aged 45!! The guys were super nice, Craig did 2 for me and John did one for my friend. Nice mellow place, they did an amazing job, didnt hang around just got going and the results were exactly what we were both looking for. Nice tunes in the shop also. Good info on aftercare. 5*'s for an enjoyable tattoo and decent prices!! Keep up the good work lads!! Read Less

Got my first tattoo here a year and a half ago just after it opened. Couldn't recommend them more! They put me at ease and even though it was a small tattoo it was done well and still looks great. They also gave me a free sachet of hustle butter since the cash machine round the corner wasn't working 😉 Read Less

Recently got a tattoo at Relatively Painless and being my first, I was feeling a bit uneasy. I talked the designs over with Craig until we had exactly what I wanted. It was so great to know that he genuinely cared about getting the designs perfect rather than just trying to get me in and out as quick as possible.
After seeing Craig and John's artwork and physically meeting them, I knew this was the right studio and will definitely be revisiting when I get my next one. They are both great guys, very professional, the studio is very clean and to top it off, they've always have a great set of tunes on. Read Less

I had been in there with a friend who was discussing tattoos as part of a photography project he is planning to do back in March, and just from talking with John and Craig I could tell that they were serious about the work, and in it for the love of tattooing and doing good jobs that people would be proud to have on their skin. From this point on, I kept them in mind for getting a piece done that I've wanted since before I had even had my first tattoo.
The same friend then went there to get his first one done, and John did a great job of it and my friend is very pleased with the result. I ended up going in to talk with them a week or so later about getting my one done. It was Craig that I spoke with, and told him roughly what I wanted and let him know that I had all the images I want as part of the tattoo already drawn/decided upon but was having difficulty piecing them together. As this would be the first tattoo I would be getting that wasn't entirely drawn by myself, I was a little nervous about getting it done by anyone else, but trusted Craig's judgement. I emailed the pictures through and today I went to get it done. I hadn't seen his design until I got there this afternoon, and I was VERY happy. He did a great job putting it together and editing it slightly to make it work and adding in a few wee bits here and there.
The tattoo experience there was great. Craig was good to chat to, had some good music playing in the shop and was accommodating when I needed to move my arm now and then, didn't mind me having my friend in with me for the duration, and was good with the cups of tea!!
I now have all the lining done and some of the shading, can't wait to get back there in 3 weeks to get the colour done, I'm so pleased with how it's turned out so far, I'd recommend them to anyone Read Less
