    James did an incredible job creating the most beautiful half-sleeve forearm tattoo. I instantly felt at ease and confident that he would be able to turn my idea into something truly special. The piece is black and grey realism with pockets of colour, and it seamlessly incorporates my existing tattoos. It looks even better than I imagined, and I couldn’t be happier. I’ll definitely be back for future work.

    I had a wonderful experience at Gilded Cage Tattoo. I worked with Amy to create a tattoo in tribute to my Bertie Boy who sadly passed away 3 months ago today. She did the tattoo on his what would have been 11th Birthday. Very emotional day. I gave her the themes via email of what I would like in the image and she did not disappoint. I know that is was a very stressful thing to have done and to get to get right but she was up for the challenge. I had every confidence in her as she had tattooed my husband so know her work is beautiful. Amy is very professional and the studio is amazing. Thanks you to Amy and the lovely Adam for keeping me going. The talking helped at the end to get through the tattooing session. Thank you Amy you have done Bert proud :)

    This was my 1st tattoo and was hunting around for the right studio/artist. I found gilded and their tattoo artist Adam. Once reaching out to him with what I wanted he quickly made a sketch which I immediately fell in love with. The price was very reasonable so agreed a date over email. On the actual day the studio was clean and had a lovely welcoming relaxing environment. Adam was friendly and easy to talk to, explaining the process and aftercare expertly. We chatted for ages while being inked and I am beyond happy with the service and the end result. Will definitely be coming back here for more work in the future!

    I have been totally blown away by Gilded Cage from start to finish! From the moment I got in touch via email they were warm, supportive and responsive to my questions. On arrival at the studio (which is stunning, photos attached) James welcomed me, made me a cup of tea and put me right at ease. My tattoo was much smaller and less intricate (fine-line lettering) than his usual work , but he treated me with just as much respect and care as if I were having a whole sleeve done! He communicated clearly to me throughout the appointment, made sure I understood what was happening next and checked in on me throughout. His work was second to none - when I finally looked at the tattoo, he has absolutely nailed it, to the extent that I threw my arms around him in a huge hug! Not sure he was expecting that - but there was no other option for me. He is a kind and wonderfully talented human and I will now never go anywhere else. Thank you James xx

    Really happy with my new Tattoo carried out by Jay C. Started things off with a zoom consultation and gave Jay C some of my ideas, he then worked up my design and pasted it onto a photo of my arm, I had a really good idea of what to expect and he didn't disappoint. Really great shop and i was made to feel relaxed from the moment I arrived. My experience of Gilded Cage was clean, cool and professional. Definitely be going back. Thanks Jay C!

    I got my first tattoo yesterday by Jay C. I was made to feel comfortable from the initial consultation and felt very safe in his capable hands. The pain registered from acceptable to screw your face up! Last night it was stinging when I washed it, but settled down and I had no trouble sleeping. I could not be more pleased with the result. I am already considering my next one!

    From my initial consultation with James, I felt I was in safe hands. He was honest and open with a real passion for his art. He gave me the space to discuss my tattoo and was happy to modify and make suggestions. My first sitting took several hours but didn't feel that long at all. James kept me informed at every stage of the process and fully explained the aftercare when my tattoo was finished. I'm thrilled with my tattoo so far - I've a second sitting still to go - but I feel like I've a work of art on my back. It's healing beautifully too. Thank you for taking such excellent care of me!

    Absolutely fantastic! I am so pleased with this tattoo. It covers up my scars, which I've been so self conscious about for years now. James is an amazing artist, who I can only dream of becoming half as good as! He was wonderful and I WILL be back!
