“Had a few tattoos done by Jordan a couple by Regan and one by Stacey. All lovely artists and they are lovely to chat to! Highly recommend JL Art as he is a delight to have as an artist and he is very open and reasonable to work with.”

“Had a full day sitting with Dave yesterday starting off my patchwork sleeve - absolutely brilliant listened to any ideas/suggestions I had and his work is brilliant, a sound guy too. The shop is so clean and very relaxing too. Already looking at what to add to it I’m sure I’ll be back in very soon”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I honestly can’t recommend BW Tattoo in Lichfield enough! Craig is an absolute master of his craft – his attention to detail, creativity, and precision are second to none. From the very first conversation, he took the time to listen to my ideas, offer advice, and make sure the design was exactly what I wanted. The whole experience was incredibly professional and welcoming. The studio is spotless, modern, and has such a relaxed atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. Craig’s knowledge and skill really shine through in his work – the lines are crisp, the shading is flawless, and the overall piece is just stunning. What really impressed me was not only the quality of the tattoo itself but also the care and professionalism throughout the whole process. Craig made sure I was comfortable the entire time and gave me clear aftercare instructions to ensure the tattoo heals perfectly. If you’re looking for a tattoo artist who truly cares about the art and about their clients, BW Tattoo is the place to go. I’m over the moon with my new tattoo and will definitely be back for more!”

“Very professional and attentive. Great collaboration on large back piece. Fast work and incredible detail. I’ve received many compliments about the work.”

“Had the best two days with Kiah (Kikistattooservice) with my Junji Ito tattoo, and it’s come out absolutely perfect, I wouldn’t change a thing. She is a fantastic artist and the process of putting together the sleeve was so exciting! The studio was a really chill environment and a great place to be. Can’t wait to see it all healed and plan for more tattoos here in the future :)”

“This was such a fantastic experience. Both Lily and Luci were so lovely and spent time choosing the design and placement. We weren’t rushed and now me and my friends have amazing matching tattoos!”

“I had my first tattoo done by Ivy and I had the most positive and amazing experience with her. I cannot recommend KTREW Tattoo studio enough! Ivy was so patient and willing to adjust and move the stencil and made my first tattoo such a special and incredible experience. She did an amazing job designing the tattoo it was perfect and I love it! Ivy took the time to sit and go through all the aftercare with me after the appointment and just made the whole tattooing experience really comfortable and relaxed where we were able to have a good chat and she made sure that I was okay throughout the whole appointment. Thank you so much Ivy keep doing what you're doing and I will definitely be back in the future for another tattoo, take care :)”

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

“Had such a good experience at this studio with Joe as my tattoo artist. The atmosphere is really relaxing and accommodating. Absolutely over the moon with how Joe brought my idea to life! Highly recommend. (Photo is right after tattoo was done so will be redder than once healed)”

“Amazing talented artists every one of them! 5star reviews on Google and a super clean friendly shop they will draw a design up so each tattoo is completely unique to you and I cannot express enough the absolute talent from this shop from a simple to a photo realistic tattoo there really is an artist for the job in this one shop they can do it all”

“I came here to get my first tattoo and the experience was lovely! I was tattooed by a lovely woman called Ola, she spoke me through it and communicated very well with me! Throughout the whole time I was there we spoke about many different topics to help me get my mind off the tattoo and on top of that I felt very comfortable and relaxed. The studio was decorated very well, it was very clean, the staff were very friendly and the music was relaxing also very catchy! I would 10 out of 10 recommend this place to a friend of mine looking to get a tattoo, definitely will be coming again at some point just in total a sick place can't wait to come again!”

“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 :)”

“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.”

“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.”

“All my Disney tattoo's have been done by Russell and i love all of them.”

“Been to Jamie quite a few times now he is amazing at his work always does what you want and always goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. Went last week for a cover up on my bk, and what amazing job he has done. Had a leg tatoo yesterday and absolutely love it. Husband also had one yesterday on his arm looks amazing. Great work Jamie, 100% recomend best artist out there for me and my husband we wouldn't go any where else.”

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

“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*”

“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.”

“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!”

“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”

“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.”

“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. ☺️”

“I came with my partner to inov8 from Lincoln, which is approx 215 mile round trip. I can honestly say that it was worth it. Sophie was absolutely lovely. She listened to what I had to say & understood my wishes & concerns. A very talented young lady, who free hand drew my tattoo. The detail is amazing & I was only charged £100. Thank you so much Sophie & would definitely recommend you to anyone.”

“Had my first tattoo this week and Lee & Black Circle absolutely smashed it out the park just like Yankees legend Lou Gehrig who now sits proudly on my arm. Lee took my ideas and ran with them and came up with a design better than I ever thought possible. After 8.5hrs in the chair, he had completed his work with an extraordinary level of detail. Being my first, I didn’t know what to expect. But I was met with a friendly & enthusiastic team who had a great rapport with the customers who came in for the various services throughout the day. It’s a laid back, smart and professional establishment, with a cosy waiting room complete with fire and traditional ornaments. I have already had lots of positive feedback from friends and family and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for tattoos of all designs. They also have a young tattooist starting out among the more experienced guys. All their work is on Instagram and other socials. Check them out and give them a call, you won’t regret it”

“Had an amazing tattoo for my dad. It looks just as I imagined it. Has been healing really well. And I'll definitely be adding to it. Thank you so much, it's a great tribute to my dad and I know he would have loved it. X”

“I would highly recommend sphinx’s tattoo. Studio was very clean and comfortable. Both Vicky and Sonny were very friendly and welcoming. They communicated really well and open and honest, offering good information and suggestions. I loved my tattoo that much that I had to go back for another. Thanks again”

“Had camaflage tattooing done with Ophelia and I'm very happy with the results. She took the time to sit down and go through with what my concerns were and what I wanted to achieve as a end result. She went through everything on what to expect during the treatment and what results she would be able to achieve without it looking unnatural. I am still undergoing the treatment as it has to be done in stages but I would highly recommend her! Very pleasant and cares about what she is doing to help you achieve the final outcome. Her workspace is clean tidy and has up to date equipment and uses the best products on the market for semi-perment make up. She is so considerate and will try to accommodate you with appointments as best as she can. Thank-you Ophelia for helping me regain my confidence x”
