VIVID INK REVIEWS

I had an incredible experience at Vivid Ink Tattoo Studios in Birmingham! The studio is clean, welcoming, and professional. My artist, VJ, was exceptionally talented and attentive, transforming my vision into a stunning piece of art. The entire team made me feel comfortable and valued from start to finish. I highly recommend Vivid Ink for anyone seeking top-quality tattoos and exceptional service. I’ll definitely be back for more!.

Went last week to see the lovely Charley. She was so lovely and made me feel so relaxed all the time I was having my tattoo. She designed an amazing flower piece for my calf and is an amazing artist. Thank you so much for a day of chat and my wonderful tattoo. Also, thank you to the lovely tea maker. I'm looking forward to my next one.

I went to Vivid Ink for the first time this week for a small wrist tattoo and had a great experience. Charley ensured all aspects of my design were how I wanted and was very precise in her line work. Efficient and affordable studio, I recommend!.

APEX INK REVIEWS

I had an amazing experience at Apex Ink and I’m extremely happy with my tattoo. Everyone was very friendly, professional and welcoming from the moment I arrived. The studio was very clean and I felt comfortable throughout the whole appointment. The tattoo artist really listened to what I wanted, paid great attention to every detail and the final result is even better than I imagined. I also received clear advice about the aftercare. I would definitely recommend Apex Ink and I will happily come back in the future. Thank you so much!.

I recently had my first tattoo at Apex Ink, Matheus did a fantastic job I was really pleased! It was so good! I will definitely be back for another tattoo. The studio and staff are lovely and very helpful! Would highly recommend! Thank you all at Apex Ink.

Excellent experience from start to finish with Apex Ink! My initial query was responded to quickly and booking a consultation and then eventual tattoo date was seamless. Tyra’s execution of my design was 10/10. The studio is clean and welcoming and all the information/aftercare etc has been well communicated. I will definitely return for my next one and I highly recommend this place to anyone!.
