Custom tattoos in Birmingham

“This wasn’t my first tattoo, but it was my first time being tattooed by a woman, and it was an amazing experience! Dark Rose Tattoo is a studio I can wholeheartedly recommend. I was a bit worried about the pain, but any nerves I had quickly disappeared – the atmosphere was welcoming, and the artist was both professional and meticulous. She explained the entire process, which made me feel comfortable and at ease. The tattoo turned out beautifully, exactly as I’d imagined! I’ll definitely be back for another one. Highly recommended!”

“For my 2nd tattoo for my leg piece from Jonarton, I went all the way to Birmingham to have my realism tattoo. Incredible work from Jon and worth the travel. The detail is amazing and Jon really wants to give you the best most unique tattoo and is always up for a new challenge! Chapters is a really welcoming and clean environment filled with great artists. Couldn’t recommend jonarton any more! really forward to my next ones! 5*”

“Got my first tattoo in the UK from here today.The artist was Chloe who is brilliant and empathetic. The studio set up is lovely, calm and equipped for all things tattoos and piercings. Steve and Matt were around to have a chat and work on their sessions, the overall vibe and price fits well. Happy to have found them via Instagram off all places. Definitely coming back. Thank you, folks.”

“[The picture was taken the day after getting the tattoo.] I was tattooed by Zoe, we had such a great time chatting while she tattooed me. When we were starting with just the stencil, she moved it as many times as I asked, until I was completely happy with it and checked multiple times before permanently inking me. I was able to ask for shading on the tattoo where I wanted it and she was more than happy to do that. When I was conflicted about if I wanted any more on the front legs she reminded me that I am given a free touch up a month later so if I don't love it I can make some minor changes then. My tattoo is healing incredibly well, there has been no redness and no soreness, it already 2 weeks later feels like it has been here forever. The tattoo studio is incredibly well kept, very clean with visible hand washing stations and hand sanitizer everywhere, clingfilm is used to keep everything highly sterile. The needles are unpacked in front of you meaning you have full confidence that they are sterile and the area on your skin is fully sanitised before tattooing. I highly recommend this tattoo studio and if I ever have the courage/want for more dinosaurs I will 100% be going back to Iron Tiger Studios and Zoe.”

“Had my tattoo done by Craig today and couldn’t recommend this tattoo shop enough! Absolutely smashed the tattoo and made me feel relaxed and welcome throughout! Will 100% be back and will be recommending to everyone, thanks Craig x”

“Super welcoming studio! I’ve been tattooed by Sascha a few times now and each time has been great, no pressure and a relaxed atmosphere (bonus for air con!!) Highly recommend anyone to book in :)”

“I got my first tattoo yesterday by Beth Talbot. It was a great experience, I was nervous at first but the chill atmosphere calmed me right down. The team there were so welcoming and friendly as well. Beth is brilliant at what she does, the tattoo is exactly like the image. She was very gentle, quick and it hardly hurt. I nearly fell asleep! I 100% recommend getting a tattoo or piercing here! Thanks so much Beth xx”

“Me and my sister came down to get an ear piercing and a dermal wrist piercing and the service was brilliant. Process was very fast and pain free. Definitely returning for more piercings.”

“Lovely tattoo artists who do excellent work. They are very professional, friendly and helpful. I have had a few tattoos done here and would go back there for more. I would recommend anyone who's looking for their first or hundredth tattoo to go there.”

“Absolutely love going to champion tattoos have done for years can not fault any of the many many pieces that Adam has done his very friendly and professional never go anywhere else”

“Turned up and asked if they do walk in piercing, luckily they did. I had a double helix piercing. The guy was professional and made me feel comfortable. Asked if I was happy with the placement before the piercing and readjusted to my preference when asked. I couldn't be happier with the experience. Nice studio. Happy to have found the place. 5 stars.”

“I want to say a massive thank you to the Fabulous and very cool Orsi, this is my fourth tattoo in the past 3 months and she always always exceeds my expectations, absolutely made up with every piece of artwork she has created. If you are new to tattoos or already have them I cannot recommend this artist highly enough, she is so talented. The studio has a lovely vibe and everyone working there are chilled and welcoming. Go there with your ideas and they will create your tattoo exactly as you want it and will guide you if you are unsure.”

“Absolutely fantastic service. My daughter went for her third peircing in her ears. She unfortunately has a condition called syncope. This means she can zone out or faint under stress. The lady was so kind, caring and patient. The piercing went with no issue however my daughter felt light headed in the aftermath. The lady helped me and lightened the mood . I honestly can not sing there praises enough. After care was easier than any other time we had piercings and other establishments. Just Absolutely wonderful”

“I always go to Danni at Painted Lady for my tattoos, and that’s for a reason. Danni is not only incredibly talented, but she is so kind, caring and understanding. I find social situations such as hair appointments, tattoo appointments etc extremely overwhelming and difficult, however, Danni makes me feel so at ease. She is an absolute asset and an incredibly wonderful person. I am so thankful for the pieces she has done for me in memory of my mom, and my dog, Chunk. She is just brilliant. ❤️”

“Messaged the guys on Instagram to book my septum piercing. Nothing but kindness! Went this morning and the studio was extremely clean and very welcoming! Ladine was an absolute gem! She was very calm with me and talked me through it. If I could give more stars I would! Can't wait to book in for my next tattoo now ❤️”

“Brilliant tattoo artist gives fantastic advice about what would work best for you”

“Had 21 full day sessions (168 hours) in this place, Everything about these guys are amazing! The Quality of their work is exceptional … The service and environment is welcoming and second to none..! Highly recommend! Professional art work at its very best !!”

“Had the lovely Katie do my first ever tatto today, couldn’t thank her enough she kept me calm and made my first experience the best ever… Couldn’t recommend her more !”

“Ive had tattoos for many years and found ink spot to be by far the best . Good people never felt uneasy always made welcome and they do a bostin cup of tea . Always had a great tattoo no complants ive been tattooed by all of the guys over the years loved the crack .”

“Had a tattoo with Felix 19/03/25. The studio is welcoming, clean, wonderfully decorated, and pleasantly quiet, even with the building works outside when I was there. Felix himself was so accommodating. He sent me the design the day before, and very promptly, and graciously, made the adjustment I requested. On the day, I felt completely able to ask for breaks or adjustments should I need them, something which is really important in a tattoo artist, and there was a great balance of chat and comfortable silence (also very important, imo!) They also were very patient with my embarrassing leg twitches, which was so reassuring. The overall experience was lovely, I already have another tattoo booked with Felix (and am eyeing more designs of his), but it certainly seems like every artist there has beautiful work, it'll be difficult not to try and book something with everyone. ☺️”

“Kirk has done a number of tattoos for me, great tattoo artist who always delivers exceptional work.”

“Decent value, friendly, walk in. Happy with the new tattoo. Will be coming for the next one!”

“I’ve been going to Nick now for a few years. I won’t go anywhere else. I love that atmosphere of the studio. I love him such a kind genuinely nice guy. Always greeted with a smile. I love all my tattoos Nick has done for me. I’ve finally found myself and my style and that’s thanks to Nick. I’m always recommending friends and family to him and recently my fiancé and they’ve all said what a lush guy Nick is. And that’s why everyone keeps going back. Thing I like about Nick the most is he cares. He actually loves what he does and you can see it and it shows in his work. Thank you so much buddy see you soon.”

“Adrian’s work speaks for its self, the detail and care that goes into his work is second to none. The fact that he is an artist shows through in the designs and ideas he creates for you. I constantly get compliments and comments on the tattoo’s i have from Ade. The honest opinion you get from Ade on the ideas you have helps making the right decision on your piece.”

“The only place I ever consider for my tattoos Amazing work done in a friendly atmosphere by a really amazing guy!”

“I booked in with Liz as I absolutely appreciate her work and her style. No regrets what so ever. Liz took time out to discuss my ideas to bring my design to life. A beautiful studio and very professional. Not to forget to mention Liz is an amazing individual and I really enjoyed the conversation during the tattoo process. Totally felt at ease and comfort and could trust Liz to just do what she is good at. Certainly will be going back for the next one. Liz gave some really good after care guidance and also regularly checked in during the healing process to ensure all was well. Certainly recommend Liz.”

“Fab studio, fab artists. Had 90% of my work completed by Bren, highly recommend. Please note they have to advertise as tattoo and piecing.... its a tat studio .... there is no option to choose tattoo only on Google!”

“I absolutely love Han and Gemma and I can't rate them or Crystal Lake Tattoo enough lovely venue, very welcoming, clean and reasonable pricing. If your looking for a tattooist who can do anything Han is your girl but if it's piercings you want get at Gemma!”

“Currently getting my back done. Absolutely amazing skill and talent gone into the work. Not only that but mark is a great guy that will look after you and make sure you have a brilliant experience”
