Can't say enough about this place, some of the gnarliest guys and girls, all welcoming and extremely skilled at what they do and such an amazing vibe. The place is clean and they take hygiene very seriously. Been going there for 4/5 years now and can't recommend it enough.Read Less

Ok so I had my first tattoo from here almost 2 years ago. They were friendly and proffesional. At the time I had some pretty bad bruising but I thought this was normal so I ignored it. Skip to now, all the skin around the tattoo is permanently stained blue. The lines have all run into one another which i expected eventually, but all the skin around the lines which have leaked is all stained blue as well. The biggest patch strecthes about 20mmx30mm above the sun. There is nothing that can be done about this unless I have it covered, and other artists said basically the bloke has been too heavy handed. Shame because they looked great when they were first done. The pictures are of the bruises I had. Read Less

Since I do a lot of martial arts, I'm taking my piercings in and out almost daily. Occasionally I don't tighten them enough, and the beads will fall out. I went to Physical Graffiti two different times because I'd lost the bead for one of my piercings. Both times the staff was VERY friendly and knowledgeable and easily helped me find the bead that fit my piercing. The piercing area was very clean and sanitized, the bench had paper coverings, and the piercer used gloves (just to fit the bead!).The next piercing I get will definitely be from Physical Graffiti!

Physical Graffiti is a very impressive business, offering a salon style experience where they use state of the art equipment. It was opened in the summer of 2006 by Chris Hatton, a tattoo artist with a considerable reputation for his custom tattoos. His objectives were clear; he wanted to "create a hygienic, friendly tattoo shop that prides itself on good customer care and a very high standard of work". There is no doubting that he has realised his aims.The majority of tattoos performed at Physical Graffiti are custom designed to meet the client's own specifications, but there's also a variety of flash in the shop to provide inspiration. (It is also possible to buy flash either from the shop or by mail order from the website).They also provide a fully licensed laser tattoo removal service that is and performed by highly trained staff. The treatment procedure and all other information can be found in the laser removal section of the website.There's also a quirky side to the business that I really like. They stock a range of tattoo related merchandise which includes t-shirts, bags, wallets and purses as well as custom painted shoes featuring tattoo related designs. They will also create shoes to your personal specifications. How good is that!?! Read Less

Physical Graffiti is a custom tattoo place on City Road that has, in my opinion, some of the best tattoo artists in this country. It's run by Chris and Chris who both have unique styles and mix old school with new school when it comes to tattooing. What is striking about this place is how light and open it is, it doesn't feel like a dingy tattoo parlor, it feels bright and welcoming. It is very clean by the way, everything feels methodical without feeling horribly clinical. All of the expected precautions are taken and you can watch the needle being unwrapped in front of you and the fresh gloves put on before you get started. This is a great place for custom tattoos, the artists here can make something in your head become a reality, either doodling on you freehand there and then or drawing up something that suits you. If you need inspiration there is a selection of tattoos already drawn that you can chose from. There are waiting lists like you wouldn't believe in this place, so book in advance and hold tight. It really is worth it. Read Less
