The 30 Best Tattoo shop in Birmingham

“Called in this morning without an appointment as my nose stud had came out. Entering the studio I immediately felt comfortable, the place is spotlessly clean and staff very friendly. When I was waiting to be taken in for the jewellery change I decided I wanted another piercing! The piercer (sorry forgotten his name) accommodated my request to get my 2nd tragus done. Everything was stress free and explained in detail, Highly recommend this studio. Thanks for a great service!”

“I had my first tattoo done at Vivid Ink in June this year and have already been back and had my second! The whole process was really easy. I filled out the online form with a picture of a similar design to the one I wanted. I was then contacted by Abbie, who went into more detail with me as to what I wanted. She then handed it over to Dana, who designed exactly what I wanted. I was nervous with it being my first tattoo, but the staff are so nice they put me at ease straight away.”

“Went on Saturday with my severe needle phobia (long history) daughter who desperately wanted her belly button pierced. We’ve been somewhere else where it was a no go. Called The Maxx after hearing good things about them. Popped in at told to do, Wow (I think it was Tash) was amazing, so understanding, patient and caring, talked and explained everything to my daughter, told her we’ll go your speed when your ready, it took 3 attempts but she did it, my daughter was crying with joy. Tash and the team you are fantastic and I can’t thank you enough. One very happy daughter !!”

“I’ve came twice to this tattoo place and it never disappoints! I’ve had Chloe both times and her tattoo designs are beautiful. She makes you feel at ease and relaxed, the shop is clean as well as all the equipment they use! Everyone in the shop is super friendly and talkative which makes the experience a whole lot better and calming! They also have a great range of aftercare items to buy, I brought some and used them daily whilst my tattoo was healing and it really helped. My tattoo is still looking amazing. I Would 100% recommend this shops, the stylists and the work they do! Wouldn’t go elsewhere.”

“Lovely team - always friendly & they do great quality tattoos each with their own unique style. I recommend to everyone interested in getting tattoos!”

“I love this place had two tattoo's now waiting on a third one, staff are very friendly and welcoming couldn't be any happier the photo was John's own design free hand”

“Had my first tattoo done at Vivid Ink Stourbridge with Wyl, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the result — it turned out even better than I imagined. The whole experience was brilliant from start to finish. Wyl was professional, patient, and incredibly talented. The rest of the team were also really friendly and made me feel completely at ease. Would 100% recommend Wyl and everyone at Vivid Ink Stourbridge — great atmosphere and top-quality work!”

“I had my tongue done by ash in Birmingham, the process was quick & easy but thorough. I went back to ash to get my piercing down sized at Pink Lady. Again - it was quick and easy and pain free. Wouldn’t go to anyone else now! Thanks ash :)”

“I had my ear pierced yesterday and the entire experience was absolutely fantastic. From the second I walked in, the consultation was in-depth, unrushed and incredibly informative. I was encouraged to ask all my questions, no matter how small and each one was answered with clarity. The conversation flowed naturally and I felt completely at ease, which made it easy to book my first piercing on the spot. Matt was exceptionally knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he does. He offered thoughtful advice tailored to me, without ever being pushy. The studio itself was spotless, beautifully designed and felt like a safe, welcoming space. The piercing was painless and I'm beyond happy with the result. I left feeling confident and well taken care of. Highly recommend this place to anyone considering a piercing!”

“I had a great time at Vivid Ink. The place itself is so chic looking and clean and artistic to say the least! My artist was Paulina and she was so welcoming (this was my first tattoo) and helpful in prep and aftercare. The staff at the entrance are also so lovely and warm-hearted. I couldn’t recommend them MORE to people in Birmingham for their tattoos! My mum also got herself another nose piercing and said they were so much easier than anywhere else she’s been and have a great selection!”

“I had an amazing experience at Skinnys Ink! Ant was my tattoo artist, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The shop has such a friendly atmosphere, and the retro Star Wars memorabilia around the place made it extra cool for a fan like me. Ant's line work is absolutely incredible—so precise and clean. He was super accommodating throughout the whole process, making sure I was comfortable and happy with the design every step of the way. If you're looking for a great tattoo artist in a fun and welcoming environment, Skinnys Ink is the place to go. I'll definitely be back for my next piece! Edit: Been for more tattoos still 5* added further images”

“Easy to find with parking right outside, we felt welcome as soon as we arrived. The world's most comfortable armchairs as you go in, Valera shifted her equipment around so that I didn't have to move (I have mobility issues). The atmosphere is so chilled and relaxed, I dozed off whilst my tattoo was being done. Work is very clean and crisp and she checked in with me regularly to make sure I was okay. Then it was Da Boss's turn for her birthday tattoo, so I snuggled down in my armchair and literally slept for just over an hour - those chairs are so damned comfy! We're already booked in with Alex for next month and I have my eye on a few of Valera's other designs. Highly recommended, first class friendly service.”

“Great place to get a tattoo, the studio is very clean which is a positive all around. All the staff are warm and friendly but most of all very welcoming. The price is very reasonable and the quality you get there is top class. Inkskin Tattoo Studio is the place to be.”

“what a lovely , friendly, talented guy Mark is , me and my husband both had our tattoos done and are both really happy with them ... defo will be going back.”

“Sami is an amazing tattooist and a lovely person :) She went out of her way to do a beautiful 'bucket list' tattoo for my lovely mum today. Thank you :)”

“I went into today, as I was stupid enough to pierce my ears with the dodgy ones from amazon. They embedded into my lob. The lady who got them out for me was very professional, polite and experienced in the matter. I g8ve her 5 *”

“Had a booking with Joe on Friday and can’t recommend him and the Holm Studio enough. Seamless experience, super easy going from the booking stage to appointment and very organised. The artwork was fantastic and Joe put me right at ease. I’m so happy with my new tattoo, I can’t stop looking at it! Thank you so much :)”

“Amazing facial done by Jass. Made me very relaxed and amazing results. Will be booking again xx”

“Never know what to put for reviews and can never really be bothered to but I have to give credit where it’s due. I’ve got all my tattoo’s from manic ink, moved away from Birmingham to Devon and I still refuse to go anywhere else. Just had some more work done and I couldn’t be happier with what Matt has done! 100% worth the 162 mile trip and I won’t be looking elsewhere anytime soon! If you’re looking for a tattoo artist look no further than manic ink! Top banter and conversation during the works and the end result is always incredible! - cannot wait for my next visit! See you soon lads - Andrè”

“We have used so many different cartridge companies since swapping. Atlas have by far, been the most consistant, fairly priced with great customer services. We recommend to all our tatty zappin family, use Atlas!”

“Lex done my back tattoo today freehand, this guy is an artist, I am absolutely chuffed. I will get all of my future tattoos here with out a doubt. I recommend him 100%”

“I had tattoos done with my Mum. High quality service and good Price as well. Lady that run and own this place is a really nice person with huge talent. We would definately back there to get another tattoo.”

“Had my first ever tattoo here, part one of a large tattoo I had wanted for many years. Neil gave me great advice, plan for overall outcome and made me feel relaxed. Completed the second final part now and so happy with it. The detail, design, overall tattoo is fantastic, just what I had imagined for so long. Great price, great customer service. Many thanks.”

“I had my first tattoo with Maria around 10 years ago and received 1st class service back then. Ive just turned 40 and treating myself to a 2nd tattoo (sleeve) which is a big job and only wanted Maria to do it (worth the 1 hr drive to get there), she has been amazing with getting me booked in, discussing ideas and working with me, she understands how important tattoos are to people and produces high quality results. I had my first session today and I'm totally chuffed with it so far, and I'm looking forward to my other sessions, I totally trust Maria and know it will be an epic end result. Whilst in the shop today i also got to see Chloes work and I can honestly say it was great work and her customer was really pleased too. Friendly and very clean environment. Highly recommended AAAAAAA+++++++”

“I had my first tattoo done here, the staff were very friendly and helpful, which put me at ease from start to finish, will definitely be going back for more.”

“The lady was so nice and made sure to clean everything beforehand. I got my helix done today and it was done so fast. It took about 5 minutes, if not then less, but so quick and easy. 100% recommend.”

“I've been using relentless for years and would not go anywhere else. The shop is stunning and Anthony the artist is just that an amazing artist. He has done vast amounts of tattoos on me and they are all fantastic.”

“My Husband had a tattoo today he absolutely loves it. Great service and Steve is a top bloke.”
