3 Best Tattoo Shops in Nottingham, UK

I spent 7 years deciding on my tattoo and I spoke with a multitude of tattooists before choosing Ash to do my tat He was friendly, professional and enthusiastic about doing my tat. I have mobility issues and he reassured me that it wasn't an issue. My tattoo is exactly what I wanted, I am so happy with it!!! It was nice to be in a space that was warm and welcoming, rather than intimidating as some places I visited. As a richly melanted women, I was concerned about having colour in my tat, but Ash was not concerned and explained what would give me the best outcome. I can't thank Ash and Kelsey for making my visit such a great experience ( minus the pain of course lol). Thank you for the after care products and the Haribo's! I will be back, that's for sure. #thanks.

Thanks again to a great couple at Society 13. I first went to them having had 1 tattoo and now 2 years along the line I’ve another ten, arm filled just room for one more. The whole experience has been great and the inklings out of this world. I have had many comments regarding the detail of one in prominent position and wish I could fit in more. Both Ashley and Kelsey have become friends and I will remain in touch. Cannot fault them and most certainly recommend them 100%. Thank you both, Garry.

Loved the experience Made to feel welcome from the start. Ash was very knowledgeable. Explained why my tattoo would sit and look better where he did it. I’m definitely going back for my next one in the not so distant future x.

I can’t say enough good things about Raw Tattoo salon based in Nottingham! From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in the hands of true professionals. The studio is spotless, stylish, and filled with great energy. Every artist I met was not only incredibly talented but also welcoming and down-to-earth. The attention to detail, the precision, and the care they took with placement and aftercare instructions blew me away. What sets this place apart is their passion — they really care about your vision and making sure you leave with something meaningful and beautiful. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your tenth, piercing or anything else, this is where you want to go. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-tier artistry in a clean, friendly, and inspiring environment. Definitely earned their name — they really are the Best of the Best in Nottingham area.

5 stars for RAW and their staff every time! A super welcoming environment with lovely staff on the reception to welcome you. My personal superstars are Hollie the aesthetician and her piercers. I've been getting my lips done by Hollie for four or five years now, and there is no one I'd trust more! She is an absolute professional, quick, effective, and the results are always gorgeous. I've also had multiple of my ear piercings and my lip piercings done here - they've always been caring, calming and efficient. Piercing quickly and smoothly - making healing a dream!

I had an aesthetic treatment booked with the lovely Hollie and I am blown away with the results. She is incredibly friendly and professional and clearly very knowledgeable and talented. She did before and after photos for me and was so friendly, I will definitely be returning! Loved that the studio was in town, made it very convenient and has a really nice vibe. Thanks again Hollie.
