Tattoo shop in Brighton

“Ive done my piercing with tally few months ago. She's really lovely, professional and clean. She has patience and is very respectful! I will come back. Highly recommended”

“I’ve been to this piercing shop twice now, and I can honestly say—I’m in love! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming, clean, and professional, yet still relaxed enough to make you feel totally comfortable. Both times I’ve been, the staff were not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also kind and patient. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions without rushing, and made sure I felt confident and informed before proceeding. It’s obvious they truly care about doing things right—not just for aesthetics, but for safety and healing too. The shop itself is spotless and beautifully laid out. The jewelry selection is gorgeous—high quality and stylish, with options for every taste. And the piercing process? Smooth, hygienic, and done with such precision. It’s hard to find a place that feels this trustworthy and consistent. After two great experiences, I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. If you're considering a new piercing, do yourself a favor and come here. You’ll understand why I keep coming back.”

“I recently had the pleasure of getting my turtle tattoo done by an amazing artist. I can't express my gratitude enough for his incredible work and amazing customer service. This tattoo artist really went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was unforgettable. Firstly, he was able to fit me in last minute which was a huge relief for me. He was also very friendly and welcoming. He took the time to chat with me and make me feel at ease which really helped to calm my nerves. He was very professional throughout the whole process and really took his time to make sure everything was perfect. Moreover, he was very knowledgeable about the type of tattoo I wanted and offered some great suggestions to make it even better. He ended up designing a beautiful turtle tattoo that exceeded my expectations. I was really impressed by his attention to detail and the care he took while working on my tattoo. In addition to the tattoo, he also suggested an incredible seafood restaurant for me to try while I was in town. I'm so glad I took his advice as it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Overall, I would highly recommend this tattoo artist to anyone looking for an exceptional experience. He is truly a talented artist with a great personality to match. I can't thank him enough for the amazing tattoo and the wonderful experience.”

“Getting your fingers tattooed is always going to be a gnarly experience, but Faz made it quick, easy and a painless as it possibly could be! I've been wanting my fingers and knuckles done for about 15 years now, so very, very happy to finally do it, and very glad I picked Faz! Also, he added some new life to some bits on my arm that didn't quite match the rest of my sleeves, which was very much appreciated. 10/10 would recommend.”

“By far my favourite tattoo shop. The staff are so lovely and the studio has a great atmosphere. I came for a walk-in and I had a great experience. The staff were so helpful in helping me choose the right fonts and gave me great advice on placements and the longevity and retention of the tattoo in different locations. The studio is very clean and I loved their calming choice of music. My tattoos were excellently done and they were more than happy for me to come in and ask any questions during the healing process if necessary. Couldn’t recommend more and am so excited to return for my next tattoo!”

“Kat at Velvet Tattoo is amazing! An extremely skilled artist who creates beautiful unique tattoos to reflect the customers needs. I've now had two tattoos by Kat and my husbands too- we cant recommend her enough. Very professional and a great person all-round. I enjoy our chats and laughs during our sessions. See you again soon.”

“I had a Lash Lift And Tint by Mirella and I am absolutely delighted with the results. I previously had Lash extensions but the Lash Lift And Tint is perfect for me. I love the look that it gives, opening my eyes and even making my lashes look longer, fuller and thicker. I absolutely 110% recommend Mirella. She is extremely professional, respectful, helpful and efficient. She is quick, extremely polite and knowledgeable. Mirella puts you at ease and I felt very comfortable during my treatment. Great value for money too. #google”

“I’ve been going to fran for 2 years now, she’s the only person I trust to do my tattoos. The amount of detail and creativity in the designs is incredible. Her and Bryan have created such a beautiful and welcoming space for people to express themselves and explore ways of self expression either through tattoos or piercings. The studio is always full of life and all the staff are lovely. I honestly couldn’t recommend Brighton Ink enough!”

“Fantastic experience going to Inky Swallows. My tattoo is just incredible and exactly what I wanted. Cheryl worked with me on the concept and talked me through the different styles. I had no knowledge of tattoo styles - Cheryl put me at ease and made me feel very comfortable explaining all the options to me as the piece was a cover up. I had two full days in the studio and it was an amazing result. I recommend Inky Swallows to anyone :)”

“I’ve had several tattoos with Pete at Heartbreaker and would recommend him to anyone thinking of getting a tattoo. Pete talks through every stage of the process with you, making sure you’re happy and informed. I’m in love with my tattoos from Pete, especially a beautiful butterfly. Getting this tattoo was a long process and Pete made sure I was comfortable and we took breaks whenever necessary. He’s an incredibly talented artist and a great person to talk to. Pete gave clear aftercare instructions and made sure he was available for any questions during the healing process. The studio itself has a great vibe and everyone who works there is friendly and welcoming. 10/10, can’t recommend Pete and Heartbreaker enough!”

“I had my first ever tattoo on Monday. Dale was absolutely brilliant. I was really nervous, but he put me at ease as soon as I walked in. He talked me through everything, the design I asked for, and if I wanted him to stop at any time. I wish now I got the bigger tattoo I really wanted, but didn’t know how painful it would have been. I’ll definitely come back to have the bigger one. Only if Dale can do it. Excellent service. Thank you Dale”
