    Just had my first tattoo here with guest artist Steven and the whole experience was excellent. Great communication from Ailie who explained everything I needed to know and Steven was extremely patient and chatty, putting me at ease straight away. The place is spotlessly clean and filled with loads of interesting things to look at. I’m delighted with my tattoo and will definitely be back for more!

    My friends and I were in Edinburgh for vacation. We all wanted to get tattoos. We went to Empire Ink on Friday and we got an appointment for Saturday (the tattoo artist thankfully had a last minute reschedule). Our tattoo artist, Katie, was absolutely wonderful. It was my first tattoo and she was really helpful explaining the process. She also made some great recommendations on where to get it. She specializes in fine line tattoos. Next time we are in Edinburgh or Wales, we will definitely go to her again.

    I had my first tattoo by guest arrest Steven. I couldn't be happier he got me in with an hours notice. He was pleasant and gentle and had very little discomfort. I met so many wonderful people in Eninburgh and the people at Empire Ink were some of them. Thanks for the great tattoo! I'm loving it!

    I booked in with Laura-Jayne after chatting back and forth about my idea My tattoo has a very personal meaning to me and with it being a person it HAD to be perfect Spent the whole day in the studio with Laura-Jayne who was also really excited to do my tattoo, as this was a first for her also!!. If id've been nervous, her enthusiasm would have put me right at ease! Being so easy to sit with and chat to, we never ran out of things to say and the music taste was incredible, the day just flew by!! Its so clean and full of amazing merchandise that gives you plenty to talk about if you're not great at making conversation and the toilet?? Hahaha you have to see for yourself Excellent experience CANNOT FAULT and will continously recommend!!! If you are STILL thinking about it DO IT!!! Pic is just done

    Had my tattoo done by Dorota a few weeks back, it healed beautifully and I am as in love with it as I was the first time I saw the sketch. She did a wonderful job. The process was very good and we had some nice conversations :) TA

    LauraJane gave me a gorgeous tattoo over 2 yrs ago, before Covid-19...so when I needed a cover-up, she was first in my mind. Alice is a great mediator and makes sure that the initial process goes smoothly.. LauraJane gives you her undivided attention while you are there and makes you feel comfortable, always asking to your needs & wants. That time flies in good company; despite the pain, is an understatement. Empire Ink is clean, the decor is fun and the people are highly professional. Thank you from a traveler
