MONUMENTAL INK REVIEWS

Had my first ever tattoos, 4 days after my 18th. AK is amazing, and created beautiful designs; better than I could possibly imagine. They had no problem with altering one of them slightly as per my request. I felt safe the entire time and felt very welcomed by the team. The studio is lovely and modern and clean as can be. Could not recommend them more for a first tattoo or any tattoo for that matter! Looking forward to my next tattoos and will be staying with AK until i’ve got all of the tattoos I want.

Kind, paitent, really clean and extremely professional. I have been in to other tattooists over the years and left without having anything done. Richard is so kind and understanding and his artwork is amazing. For anyone thinking of having a tattoo and feeling like you don't fit that mould think again.

Had my first tattoo with Aimee this week really happy with it and nice relaxed place. Would recommend to anyone thinking about getting a tattoo, cheers guys.

BLACK HOPE TATTOO LTD REVIEWS

Everyone is welcoming. Great service. Very hygienic. Staff are amazing. Made me feel relaxed and at ease. After giving Red a few ideas of what I was after Red made a design that fitted perfectly and better than I imagined. The attention to details is amazing. I felt looked after and included in every step. I would and have recommended Red and the Black Hope studio to others. I can’t wait for my next session.

I had Ellie do a floral tattoo for me. She was really helpful with her suggestions on placement and colours for it. She took brilliant care of me when I started feeling light headed, thanks Ellie! I will definitely go back to Ellie when I've chosen my next tattoo.

I have been to Black Hope for my last 6 tattoos, big and small and also different styles. I would HIGHLY recommend this place, they are amazing. Ellie has done my last 5 tattoos and I am always impressed and it is always an enjoyable experience there.

RED'S TATTOO PARLOUR REVIEWS

Sonya and her husband made me feel totally relaxed and comfortable throughout the whole experience of my first ever tattoo! Both super chatty, friendly, and accommodating. The shop itself is so cool too! I absolutely love the work Sonya has done for me. I have wanted this tattoo for ages, and to finally see it come to life is so special. Will definitely come back again and would recommend to everyone! Thank you so much! xx

Finally brave enough to get a tattoo and couldn’t have chosen a better studio. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming, it was spotlessly clean and Anna did a fantastic job of creating exactly the tattoo I wanted. I will definitely be going back, especially as it was relatively painless! Highly recommend.

Cannot recommend reds enough, I came here today for my first tattoo with my mum and the owners were very kind and welcoming. The tattoo is perfect and we were given information or how to help it heal , 10/10 definitely recommend
