Really good experience, all the artists are kind and enthusiastic. My artist Jardy was excellent. Did an awesome job and delivered even better than I had hoped for. Will definitely be coming again.
So a few of my mates reccommended collective , as it being my first tattoo I’d personally rather pay for quality and get it done by the best . Jardy is not just a tattoo artist but made me feel comfortable by constantly speaking to me or making me laugh . The work speaks for itself , will definitely be going to Jardy for future tattoos
A fantastic studio full of amazing artists! From beginning to end you’re made to feel welcome in the clean and comfortable space. I was tattooed by Liv, she did an outstanding job!. I highly recommend this place and I’ll definitely be back for more!.
Excellent experience being tattooed by Livia! She completed a day session with me, finishing two tattoos to a beautiful standard and for an amazing price. She took wonderful care with me as I struggled sitting still with pain, took things at my pace and was as gentle as possible. Prior to my appointment Livia worked hard to achieve a design which was to my liking and made tweaks when asked. Couldn’t recommend her more. The studio is clean, spacious and well-ventilated. I had the pleasure of sitting in front of a large open sash window throughout my session on a beautiful day which elevated my experience all the more.
Messaged Elisha with an idea and booked in. Came on the day pretty nervous but a smile and a friendly face quickly made me feel at ease. Waited while she finished my design which was absolutely amazing exactly what I wanted and more she had made it even better than I imagined. Upstairs we went and she made sure i was happy with everything and comfy and then she started bringing it to life on my leg. I felt at ease the whole time happily watching although I was offered to play my phone or my switch which came with me but I really enjoyed watching it come to life. Next we went for lunch and I had another idea for us to do after lunch which was a pokeball and I said she could funk it up a bit. Elisha took this idea and made it amazing she took my idea and added her own artistic take on it and it looked perfect. She made sure I was happy with her design and then we went and she again made sure I was happy with everything and off we went again. She said we could have a break anytime which was really nice. After we had finished she was very thorough with her aftercare advice and made sure I understood everything and knew what to do. My new tattoo's are amazing and full of colour exactly as I hoped. I would definitely recommend Elisha to everyone and anyone and I will definitely be back because she had an idea to save one of my teenager tattoo's I had elsewhere with her creative mind. You are definitely in safe hands here and she is amazing
I had a full day session with Jade and can’t even describe how fab she is. She was super patient with my design ideas and just really lovely. Made me feel super comfortable and nothing was too much trouble. So talented I love my new tattoos so much!! Will hopefully be back soon for some more :)
I have been going to collective since April 2022, and honestly won’t look back, I have been tattooed by all the apprentices and they have all been amazing! Everyone has always made me feel so welcome at the studio and is always so friendly. I wanna give Jade a special shout-out though, she has been working on the top half of my sleeve since I met her and she has done an incredible job and she designed the whole thing and I wouldn’t change a bit, she is super gentle and will instantly put your nerves at ease (If you have any!) with her personality!
Yesterday I had my first tattoo session with Tom to cover some unsightly tattoos i had done previously when I was young. It was my first time back in a tattooist chair for over 20 years and it's safe to say I was nervous as hell. Tom was amazing, putting me at ease right from the start when we started discussing options and how we could work the old tattoos into something i can be proud to have on my body. He gave amazing advise of what would work ask lots of questions to ensure that the final piece was exactly as I wanted then took his time to sketch something I didn't even know would even be possible. He managed to incorporate 3 tattoos in the cover up, which I was so happy about. It was the longest session I've had had in one go (a full day booked) and for the last couple of hours the pain was so bad, I'm not going to lie. Tom was so patient with me an even though our time had run over he did not rush or call it a day, he was more than happy to stay to complete what we started. In the end it was me that had to say I'd had enough for the day. I cannot believe what he's managed to achieve, it's stunning. This guy is an absolute genius and a master of his art. I am totally in love with my new ink and excited for our next session to complete the cover up and start rework on another tattoo I have. The studio itself is super clean and welcoming and the rest of the guys and girls that work there are so friendly and chatty even though you are not their client they treat you as if they were. I can't thank Tom and Collective Tattoo enough for my amazing day and can't wait to go back in February for round 2! Tom you are simply the best, thank you so much!!
I was tattooed by Jade with some of her flash pieces and couldn't be happier with how they came out!! The colours are gorgeous, they healed perfectly and she was super patient while I changed my mind about placement LOADS. She ended up altering one of the designs slightly for me, thank you so much I will be back!!
