TALISMAN TATTOO ART STUDIO REVIEWS

Went for my first small tattoo after seeing their FB message saying walk-ins for small tattoos! Erim did mine and he was lovely! Put me at ease and make the whole experience a good one! Lovely guy who greeted us too and again put me at ease and had a little banter with him! Planning my next one now! Thanks guys!

Went in to get a tattoo knowing what I wanted but not a clue in size or position Sam knew what he was doing and created a beautiful art piece on my upper arm the team were full of banter and the atmosphere was welcoming from the minute I walked in nervous.

Love me new tattoo. Erim is the best for first timers and he made me feel calm and have a good experience.

CHIRALITY INK REVIEWS

Absolutely amazing service from start to end with Sam and team! From initial enquiry I was informed of what was needed from me and they answered any questions I had quickly. The design Sam had created was amazing and original and I couldn’t wait to see how it turned out. The time just flew in the chair chatting away the whole time and I felt so at ease all the time before realising that the tattoo was done and my word it looked stunning!! Sam’s work is spectacular and I would highly recommend her and the team to anyone looking to get a tattoo whether it be your first or your 100th. I would also say their tattoo balm is something else, they smell amazing and helped the healing process to be slow and pain free I wish I could give more than 5 stars for how amazing Sam and her team are!

Can't recommend Chiralty enough for ear piercings. Myself and my daughter had our first piercings recently. My daughter felt a little bit queasy afterwards and the care and kindness shown to her was absolutely second to none. 100% professional and lovely experience. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Sam designed my tattoo after I had sent a couple of references to work from. Turned out better than I’d hoped it would was a great experience for my first tattoo. Couldn't recommend these guys more.

RUBY ARTS TATTOO STUDIO REVIEWS

I cannot rate Mick enough. I had a couple of ideas of what i wanted in my tattoo design and he went away and came up with a design that was better than i could have imagined, i love it! I was very nervous and he put me at ease and made it a very enjoyable experience. All of the staff at Ruby arts have been really helpful and lovely. I will definitely be coming back for more tattoos.

Went with my daughter and we both had tattoo’s done by Mick,the atmosphere was friendly and easy going.It was a great experience for my daughters first tattoo.We are both really pleased with them.Excellent job Mick.???

got a new piercing was very well done made me feel really welcome would recommend they gave me some stuff to clean it with first place i have been to that gives out cleaning stuff for a piercing
