The 30 Best Tattoo shop in Cardiff

“Mario is honesty the best! Love, loveeeee my tattoos. So gentle also!! Hardly felt no pain what so ever. Very clean, really communicative and so friendly. Will definitely revisit again! Thanks again Mar!”

“Amazing experience from start to finish. Kevin is so talented and is a real perfectionist. He took a rough sketch and brought it to life. Could not recommend him highly enough.”

“Honestly amazing service very kind and helped me out with my dalia peircings and with such skill too thank you”

“I recently had a portrait of my wife , obviously I was concerned about the portrait being a true representation of my wife . To say that I'm more than happy would be an understatement, it's absolutely amazing . I can't thank the young lady enough .”

“I came to this tattoo shop from London because one of my good friends wanted to make sure the first tattoo i got not long after I turned 18, was done perfectly. Jess did my first tattoo, a Ghostface one and it is one of the most beautiful and awesome tattoos I have ever seen. She used some reference photos my friend sent to her from me and she created such an insanely wicked piece and I couldn't imagine anything better. She printed out different sizes for me to look at and see, she was very patient and gentle, very reassuring and overall such a sweet and lovely person. She even put on a movie for me so I'm not too focused on the pain and made me a cup of tea. Very good to talk too as well, ans her talent is crazy. I will definitely be travelling back here to this place for future tattoos. I couldn't recommend this place, and Jess more:)”

“I had a forearm tattoo with Andrew last week, and it was an amazing experience, his work was beautiful and I was able to get exactly what I wanted. I had a lot of fun and he made the whole process easier and much more comfortable. Thank you Andrew”

“Without a doubt the best tattoo place I’ve ever been. Lisa puts in so much effort to create art that suits you. Four times I’ve given her a general idea of what I want and four times she has far exceeded my expectations. The studio itself is so cool, with loads of memorabilia and trinkets everywhere. It’s as clean as a whistle and there’s always lots of films to choose from while you’re getting inked. Lisa herself is awesome too; she always makes me feel comfortable and happy. I would never go anywhere else to be tattooed and I will recommend her and Inkabella studio to anyone until the end of time.”

“This lady's work is outstanding. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my skin! A rework of an image done in my foolish youth back in 88 turned into something suitably more "up to date". Wendy asked if I wanted it covered up but I decided that it was a part of me, daft or not, so opted for this. Much improved is all I can say!”

“My go-to guy! Bart is beyond talented, professional & genuinely committed to the work that he creates. Easiest 5-star review ever. 100% recommend.”

“I went to Kat for my first tattoo ever and I couldn’t be more pleased. Kat listened to everything I wanted and created an even more beautiful design. Kat talked me through the whole process and what to expect. The detail on the piece is outstanding, I couldn’t be more impressed. The tattoo has healed amazingly. I would recommend Kat to anyone!”

“Excellent! Lucy has done a wonderful job of my micro tattoos. Will definitely be back for more :)”

“Staff are amazing.. had my second (get what you get) Tattoo today will definitely be going again soon xx thank guys x”

“Recently I had a tattoo on my hand, and was very impressed with the final result. I found the tattooist to be very professional, and the environment was friendly. Good value for money too. Would 100% recommend. The tattooist also worked alongside myself in coming up with the final design before the appointment.”

“100% recommended to anyone. Al is very good and the price was great. This is the place to get it done”

“Great atmosphere & customer service, Highly recommend! Such a good artist! Will definitely be coming back ASAP! Good eye for detail! Jayde and Matt and both amazing x”

“Great experience visiting the studio for the first time. Very welcoming. Made to feel at ease. Very relaxed, calming atmosphere. Friendly staff. First part of tattoo sleeve turned out absolutely spectacular. Everything done properly and to perfection. Matt is so brilliant. Have my next appointment booked in a few weeks time. Superb. Can't wait.”

“absolute amazing job done by Ben today! It was my first tattoo and I was nerves but Ben put me right at ease. Super chilled out session and I highly recommend Ben if you want a brilliant traditional piece done! cheers Ben!”

“My daughters and I have Paula cut our hair. Paula is amazing she listens to what you want and does it one of my daughters is autistic and she literally went from shoulder length her to a pixie cut and she loves it . My other daughter has really curly hair and she cut it really well with a little undercut it always looks amazing Paula not only fab she’s quick and great at her job”

“This is the only place that you ever need to visit for a tattoo, Dom (the owener) will be the person that completely covers my body in tattoos. He's extremely chilled out and talkative, I find he spends time positioning each artwork perfectly. His artistic genius, blows my mind eachtime and I leave each sitting feeling it was worth every penny. Amy, the other artist, is always bubbly and smiley. Another brilliant artist who done my chest tattoo. Very talkative and attentive to any needs or design ideas. Both are brilliant and make the shop great”

“Booked with Kane Thomas for three of us to get little matching moon tattoos. He was super friendly and easy to discuss the design with over Instagram, and booked us in within a few weeks which was great. On the day Kane was really lovely, we were quite picky and had him move the stencils a good few times but he wasn't bothered by this and was more than happy to accommodate our fussiness! The tattoos themselves are great, really neat and tidy. Kane was really courteous and easy to talk to, and made sure all 3 of us were comfortable and happy throughout. Would definitely go back to this shop as it was clean, tidy, friendly and overall a great experience.”

“Amazing experience getting a tattoo done with John today. Was my first large tattoo and I felt at ease instantly with both John and Kate who created my design for me. I absolutely love it! Can’t wait to come back for another! Thanks both x”

“Such a lovely, calm & friendly environment. I had 2 new pieces of ink done yesterday by Rachel. All of her work is absolutely stunning. So so happy with how both have turned out! I will definitely be back! Highly recommend!!! ☺️”

“Had my Tattoo yesterday with Kane, absolutely amazing quality! He did an amazing design and tattoo, exactly what I wanted in memory of my Grampa! Thank you for doing such a great job as this tattoo is very important for me! Highly recommend!”

“First tattoo, great friendly staff, and Kit was amazing, positive and great attention to detail. Love the tattoo and will be returning for more. Thanks again!!”

“Awesome tattoo shop. James did a tidy up of an old tattoo and added to it, he did an excellent job on a difficult customer!! Plenty of patience and attentive to my requests. I was very happy and would recommend you go here whatever ink work you are looking for. Great chilled vibe and nothing was too much trouble. 5 star from me.”

“Amazing experience. I got an industrial, rook & tragus. Piercer did an amazing job, super friendly, polite and professional. everything from the consultation regarding anatomy and after care was extremely informative and thorough. The shop has a very relaxing environment. Would highly recommend!!”

“I went to Naomi for my first tattoo and she was absolutely brilliant. She’s really lovely and made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. Her studio is nothing like the stereotypical dark, intimidating tattoo parlour - it’s bright airy and welcoming so I felt really comfortable from the moment I walked in to discuss initial designs right through to getting the tattoo inked. I am so pleased with the final result - I absolutely love the design she came up with and am already booked in to get my next tattoo! I would highly recommend her.”

“The guys at this place are absolutely fabulous and stark raving mad and their tattoo skills are on point would highly recommend”

“Had my tattoo done by Ben on Thursday morning last. I was in Newport for the weekend and he came in early to fit me in during my stay. What a lovely fella he is. Plenty chat and very professional in everything he did. Hygiene in the salon was excellent too. He did a great job on my tattoo and I'm thrilled with it. I'll be back in again, next time I'm in the UK. 5 star service”

“I had my navel done and they’re such a nice business to go to. Very understanding and very nice/helpful! They even do checkups after your piercing which most businesses don’t do. They did an amazing job. I couldn’t recommend Gypsy Jane more. Thank you for your services”
