3 Best Tattoo Shops in Chester, UK

I got my first tattoo done for my 18th by Tia, from the very first message she made me feel comfortable and was lovely to speak to. During the appointment I was quite nervous for my first tattoo but Tia put me at ease straight away, making sure I was happy and comfortable at every stage. The tattoo didn’t take long and it turned out great. The studio was also very clean and sanitary. It was a very enjoyable experience and I will definitely be back for more tattoos in the future!

Tia did my first ever tattoo and I just have to keep going back! She's fantastic, so fun to talk to and makes the entire experience very relaxed and pleasant. She's incredibly talented and does an amazing job each time. The studio is always clean and smells nice, and all the other staff I've spoken too are also so kind and lovely! Thanks for a great experience x

Laura, the apprentice did my first tattoo here, she was friendly and explained everything really well, her artwork was amazing - all of their artists are super talented. She was very patient with me. Everything was sterilised and cleaned thoroughly. Would highly recommend Inked Up!!

This was my first tattoo experience and honestly the process couldn't have been smoother nor friendlier. From the stage of enquiring about my tattoo and the appointment, Rich responded to my email quickly, providing all the information moving forward and how it all works out. If I had any queries or concerns moving forward, I was assured they'd be there to help. I put the deposit down and was given the details for the artist for my tattoo, Boris, to send over the designs and ideas. Boris got back to me with an amazing sketch and we went from there. Then the day arrives. Minerva Lodge is stunning. The aesthetic, the atmosphere and the staff are all so lovely. Everywhere you look has so much personality! I sat and filled out a form and Boris was with me right away with the sketch and we had the final talks before getting started. I felt entirely comfortable during the whole art process. Boris is an amazing artist and the conversations were hilarious as they were interesting. Other artists engaged with us too and Rich made sure I and everyone was okay at points throughout the day. I couldn't be happier with my tattoo and I wouldn't visit anywhere else now for my future art, not after that experience. Thank you all so much and I can't wait to see you again soon.

Can not recommend enough. Sam is amazing and managed produce the perfect design from all my rambling on what I wanted. This was my first tattoo and the whole experience was great. I was reassured throughout. Never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision on anything and the day of the tattoo was, in a weird way, and relaxing experience. Lots of cups of teas, checking was comfortable to continue and ultimately I have the perfect tattoo as a result. Thanks again Sam, you’re a star.

Amazing work and design. Sammy really did a spectacular job and was incredibly super about me being a rubbish patient. Although, I do swear she enjoyed going the bits again for pleasure! Only joking. A very happy customer with a very cool & colourful piece. Rich was great too and felt welcome. Highly Recommended. I will come again.
