First time visiting Grish for a tattoo and what an incredible piece! He is friendly, fun and incredibly talented. He takes immense pride in his work and his attention to detail made my new piece pop! Will be booking another session with him soon.
Such a nice and chilled environment to get a tattoo done. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. Thanks especially to Grish who sorted me out with a really cool flash tattoo he had advertised on his instagram - definitely coming back for more as his designs are awesome and his tattooing is spectacular. Love it! Thanks again! :)
Had 2 pieces done by Grish recently and I am really happy with the results. I had two ideas for pieces that hold a lot of meaning to family members; a wine glass and a hot air balloon. My biggest fear beforehand was getting the size and placement right, as I am filling in patchwork on my leg. Grish worked with me to really capture the designs in the most meaningful way possible, and then at the studio beforehand to decide the best possible placement for both. Absolutely love the finished result and really appreciated Grish’s patience with the whole process. Great aftercare advice too. Everyone in the studio was super nice and friendly. They are even better than I anticipated and the price was more than fair for the time and incredible artwork. Will definitely be returning. Thanks again Grish!
Frank is an absolute legend! From the very start, she nailed it – lining up the stencil perfectly with my original small tattoo so everything flowed seamlessly. The whole day was an experience in itself: not just the tattoo (which turned out incredible) but the conversation too. We covered everything from Buffy to Harry Potter to politics, and the time just flew by. The end result? An epic piece of work that I couldn’t be happier with. Frank’s mix of skill, precision, and personality makes her a truly stand-out artist. If you’re thinking about getting inked, go see Frank – you won’t regret it.
This studio is such a warm, welcoming environment, I was lucky enough to get my first tattoo done here by Frank, she made me feel so comfortable and at ease, taking her time explaining everything to me and making sure I was 100% happy and comfortable. I am in love with the art work she has done, such a talented artist and a real pleasure to have been tattooed by :)
My experience was great! Was warmly greeted when I went through the door, there was a lovely atmosphere about the place. Jordan did an awesome design for me and made me feel very welcome and looked after all the way through our appointment. Really great experience and Jordan is an artist I’ll definitely be going back to in the future.
I strongly recommend Long Story Short for a great tattoo experience. Very talented artists working there who can take a basic concept and turn it into a beautiful tattoo. They will play good music, make you feel comfortable and safe, and the time will fly by.
Amazing work done here! Ben P did an ankle tattoo for me, and it turned out better than one could hope for. He spent as much time needed with me to go over designs, change things up, and put his own twist on it. The shop itself is very clean and has an extremely welcoming vibe. I was offered coffee as soon as I showed up, and was treated with nothing but kindness. Ben talked to me throughout the entire tattoo, which was a very welcomed distraction. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a reliable and talented artist! I have nothing but praise for Long Story Short!
I could not think of a better way to have spent my 30th birthday than spending the day in Long Story Short Tattoo Lounge with Carla!! The atmosphere was super relaxed, I was offered food and drink and made to feel extremely comfortable the facilities are clean and all is very professional. I would highly recommend and will definitely be returning for further work! Thank you so much for my Lioness tattoo for my youngest daughter!
Everything about my experience at Long Story Short was amazing. I originally found out about them through a friend who had some work done. Ben made the entire experience very easy from the start where he jumped on a call with me to discuss my idea for what I wanted. On the day we flushed out and designed the piece together and Ben made the process of tattooing as comfortable as possible 10/10 will certainly be returning again for my next piece!
