NEEDLEWORKS TATTOO STUDIO REVIEWS

I got a beautiful tiger cub many years ago it turned out perfectly I was nervous but was made to feel at ease by the lady once I got to meet the tattooists he also made me feel at ease asked if I needed a break at any time after that I got told how to care for the tattoo I left there for the first time knowing I would definitely go back everything was so clean sterile They all where fantastic with me.I have many tattoos done but never once felt the way I did at needleworks since that day I've never looked back I have a lot done and more to come if can find and room. Can't Recommend them Highly Enough

Very impressed with my first tattoo! the staff was very friendly and very reassuring. Very clean space as well and well kept, amazing experience for my first time and will definitely be back for my next! Thank you to all the staff you were fantastic!

I had time to kill in Dumfries and have been wanting to reinstate an old eyebrow piercing. A bit cheekily I just popped in (it was still morning ) and managed to get done there and then. Quick and painless. Great stuff. Midlife crisis confirmed.

INKSOMNIA REVIEWS

Jo was awesome. Been a long time since I had any work done, was actually kinda scared. But she laughed and talked through all the work. She made the designs personal and free drawn. They are perfect and exactly what I wanted. The facilities are spotless, fantastic and up to date. Her art work is crackin and she is just awesome. I would highly recommend Jo to any one. And can’t wait to get back in to let her do work on my tribal with her amazing ideas. Thanks jo.

Well what can I say, Jo was absolutely amazing! I was so nervous when I got in but she definitely made me feel at ease, super friendly and gentle, so glad I picked her for my first tattoo.. you made such a pretty job, I’m in love with it! will definitely be back for more.

Definitely recommend Jo, very good, very professional and you will be delighted with your tattoo.
