   I can't recommend Laura highly enough! Was not expecting my first tattoo to be such a lovely experience, but it was. She sent detailed information beforehand and described the process really well throughout. She is an amazing artist, very good listener, and really cares about placement and movement on your individual body. Because I felt so involved, I really felt that my tattoo was part of me immediately. I love my tattoo sooooo much and would 100% go back to Laura for more.

   If I could give Laura more than 5 stars I would. I was a bit nervous as this was my first tattoo and it was a reasonable size as well. Laura was happy to answer any questions to put me at my ease and the design process was incredibly collaborative. Laura provided a mock up drawing that was exactly what I’d asked for but was then incredibly an open and supportive when I wanted to amend it. She was able to expertly guide me through the tweaks needed to make it work for the space and the resulting tattoo was better than anything I would even have thought to ask for - I absolutely love it! Laura really has a gift for making a tattoo flatter and flow with the body as if it’s meant to be there, and she puts a lot into getting it right. Despite being a bit nervous, I ended up being so at ease that a six hour appointment genuinely flew by. Also, although I know this is a very individual experience, it was also not painful! Laura is an extremely talented artist and even though she is a very lovely person, she is also very professional with high standards for her work and working environment. I couldn’t recommend her more!

   I honestly don't know how to express what a great experience it was working with Laura. She is extremely professional and talented. Her communication in advance was great and she was so helpful when I had questions. She works hard to ensure you get exactly what you want and takes time to perfect placement, size and the design itself. It really makes you feel part of the design process. She immediately puts you at ease when you arrive at the studio. I'm not great at talking to people I don't know but I happily chatted away to her all day. She is interested in her clients and interesting to talk to. I also know though that if I had wanted to shut off and relax that would have been absolutely fine. I felt completely confident that all hygiene protocols were being strictly followed. Her aftercare instructions were really clear and she provided everything I needed for the first week. This is now my absolute favourite tattoo, she does such beautiful work. Getting tattooed by Laura didn't feel like I was just going in to get tattooed, it felt like a genuinely lovely experience and I am so grateful to her. As well as being an incredible artist, she is a lovely person. The only negative is that now I want more tattoos by her and my bank balance will not be happy about it!

   Iv got a wee collection of tattoos and have travelled around for them too, and I can easily say this tattoo from Laura has been the most amazing experience out of them all! Not only are her designs insanely beautiful and intricate, she is incredibly thorough in ways others aren’t. I was given updates, emails with how to prepare, text reminders and a very open conversation on the design, I felt respected in what I was wanting and Laura and I worked together in person to curate the design. The tattoo is BANGING!! It fits me perfectly and the whole experience was just easy and enjoyable from start to finish. Laura is a very talented artist and it’s a genuine pleasure to have one of her designs on my skin! Would highly recommend 100/10.

   It may seem easier to get an appointment with an NHS consultant than with Laura, but she is well worth the wait and perseverance. Always thoughtful, professional, and most of all very good at what she does. As my sleeve is nearing its completion I am so pleased with how it is looking. Laura is an amazing artist! Going over options, discussing ideas and placements has added to the whole positive experience. It’s so hard not to be greedy when it comes the beautiful tattoos of Laura! I love my arm. Thanks Laura!

   If I could give Laura more stars I would. I have admired Laura's work for a long time and knew I would be in great hands getting mine done. I had discussed designs with Laura and she had created a mock up for me which was perfect for what I wanted. When I got to the studio I instantly felt at ease in her gorgeous studio and enjoyed a lovely coffee as we chatted through design and process. I absolutely love what Laura designed for me and the colours she's used. She brought to life what I was imagining in my head but 100 times better. Thank you so much Laura!

   Laura was am amazing tattoo artist! I've now gotten two tattoos from her and will definitely be coming back! As someone who gets very anxious, it was amazing having someone as friendly and professional as Laura do a tattoo that was very special to me! I absolutely love it and am so fortunate to live near someone as talented as her!

   The whole service provided by Laura has been phenomenal. With going to her with a very vague design, she put together something very unique and special. I’m over the moon, her attention to detail is second to none and she didn’t give up until my design was perfect. I’m so happy to have found Laura as a tattoo artist and I can’t wait until my half sleeve is finished. Would highly recommend.

   Laura is the most talented tattooist I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Laura goes through the whole process - from idea through to after-care - with a kind, genuine, humble, and considerate approach. She is entirely dedicated to creating a piece of work that you will love forever. She's honest and true to her craft, resulting in a tattoo that is gorgeous, and true to you in return. I cannot rate Laura enough: there is now no one else I would trust to ink me.
