Piercing shop in Edinburgh

“Amazing experience yesterday at Cap in Hand Tattoos. Morven was friendly from the start and made me feel at ease. I was getting a small piece done in memory of my late Dad and Morven did an outstanding job! I would definitely recommend this shop and I will be returning for more work in the future. Many thanks again.”

“Charley is friendly, helpful, professional and reassuring. She is great at explaining how to care for your piercings and what to expect, she has a great selection of jewellery and is a great price. Charley is great at responding to queries and requests for bookings. She has been fantastic with myself and my daughter and i would throughly recommend her.”

“I have had multiple tattoos off Gavin and never had a bad experience. Each tattoo has been beautifully done and I have loved them all. He is always friendly and up for a chat. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. Definitely will continue going to get tattoos of him!!”

“Great experience with Angie for my daughter’s 2nd lobe piercing. Such a lovely and friendly lady who made her feel relaxed and at ease. The whole process was quick and in a super clean environment. Won’t hesitate to recommend you, thanks so much for a great experience.”

“got a new septum ring and fitting here w/ kate today. i've never changed it since it healed so i was pretty nervous about pain, but it didn't hurt one bit! she was really sweet, patient, and talked me thru everything so it was less scary. :")”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an amazing experience getting my tattoo done! All the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional from start to finish. A huge thank-you to Marcin for doing such an outstanding job on my tattoo — the detail and care he put into it truly shows. Couldn’t be happier with the result! Highly recommend!”

“Great shop, with brilliant atmosphere. Both Daz & Pete have great banter & keep you entertained throughout your tattoo. One of the best experiences i’ve had in a tattoo shop. 5 stars”

“Brilliant tattoo artist. Kev is such a genuine guy and a genius with the tattoos felt so at ease being tattooed never will go anywhere else.please if your thinking about getting a tattoo go and see Kev at dark horse in primrose Street you'll not be disappointed. Thanks again Kev.”

“I know this is an unusual tattoo but it meant to much and Mo was so happy to squeeze me in for it. And the shape of it is exactly the lines I drew and he mixed colours together to get the perfect colour so it looks like a red marker, exactly like I wanted. Beautiful and simple yet with precision. Highly recommend.”

“100% would recommend Lucy! My little one was in to get her ears pierced, after a little traumatic experience previously somewhere else, along with myself to get my seconds done on my lobes! Lucy was lovely, she put my little one and even me at ease straight away! She was lovely, professional, patient and explained absolutely everything, the process before hand, as she was doing it and also everything we need to do now to look after them! Thank you again Lucy, I have one happy little girl❤️”

“Visited last weekend to get my daughters ears pierced. The women were so lovely and made sure my daughter was well informed in the process and made sure she was genuinely enthusiastic and ready. They done it properly with needles and used titanium jewelry. My daughter said it was just slightly more sore than a pinch but she was so over the moon and couldnt stop smiling! A week on and her ears haven't been crusty or red, they are healing wonderfully and look so brilliant! You wouldn't think they were fresh piercings! Totally recommend to people/parents of children old enough to go here for piercings, the staff are an awesome bunch! X”

“Super friendly staff. Got my first tattoo from them! Artist ran me through the entire process, and even played Linkin Park music throughout the whole appointment. Hoping to come back soon!”

“Friendly service. Love my nose piercing, good aftercare instructions were given. I was really nervous and she put me at ease.”

“Great place to get pierced, friendly and stress free!”

“Couldn’t recommend anymore, everything was amazing; service, quality and cost. Love the finished piece and got an appointment fairly quickly, my first tattoo and won’t be my last from here.”

“Nathan is so good at Hairdressing but also funny and so kind. I enjoy going in and having a coffee and chat. Jayden and Linzi are so lovely too. My highlight of the week!!!”

“Vic always does my tattoos and the latest one is excellent could not be happier. Great environment.”

“I've had two tattoos in memorial of my Dad, his thumbprint done by the wonderful Jade & a stunning monarch butterfly elbow tattoo by the extremely talented Lauren. My husband recently had a new piece by the insanely talented Jay and he's over the moon with it. The studio is super clean, very friendly and the artists are super talented. I wouldn't go anywhere else! The only issue I have is deciding my next piece. Anyone looking for a tattoo book in with Envy I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. Keep up the amazing work Team Envy and I'll be back soon!”

“Geezy did my sleeve for me, the result is stunning. His knowledge of art and design show his passion for his craft. He created and executed a bespoke design for me, got it completed to the highest standard in one session, and at a great price. He made the process as comfortable as possible and maintained hygiene and cleanliness at all times. Great bloke to chat to about music and life in general too. Can't recommend him highly enough. I love my tattoo and I'm sure I'll be back.”

“Outstanding studio!! Hands down the best tattoo studio in Scotland’s capital. From the decor to the whole vibe of the studio, to making you feel so comfortable from start to finish of the tattoo process. Unlike any tattoo shop I have visited. The most genuine down to earth souls who work here. 10/10 would recommend to anyone! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Cait and Lee were Awesome! They took great care of us and gave us perfect momentos of Edinburgh and Scotland. We’re grateful for the hospitality and great work.”

“Very happy I ended up contacting and having the work done with David. This is my second tattoo ever and one that means a lot to me. It took me many years to finally come up with an idea I really liked and have it done. I had a photo of a similar design which I sent to David and although we had not met before, the design he came up with was exactly the style and detail I had in my head! incredible. In fact I would say that the result exceeded my imagination and expectation! Super happy and would recommend David to anyone looking for true quality”

“I couldn't recommend Ecdysis enough - I had the loveliest experience getting tattooed by Laura. I was made to feel welcome and cared for as soon as I walked through the door, and Laura and Dave are the nicest possible people you could wish to meet. The studio is absolutely gorgeous, super clean, private, and has the most relaxing atmosphere. Without even mentioning how talented and considerate Laura is as an artist, it was an absolute joy to just sit and chat all day in a such a chilled environment - I completely forgot I was getting tattooed! Thank you so much guys, you're the best.”

“Got a tattoo with my girlfriend there recently and couldn’t ask for a better place for my first tattoo. Cameron had very good prices and was very accommodating to us making it a good experience all around with no nerves. I would reccomend Cameron to anyone thinking about getting a tattoo anytime soon”

“Was tattooed here by Ellis (@ornamentells) yesterday. Such a lovely studio and they were so friendly and chill. I absolutely love the tattoo, do recommend if anyone is looking to get a stick n’ poke:)”

“Insider tattoo is one of my favourite studios to visit. Everyone there is of an exceptional caliber and I can’t recommend them enough. They possibly have the best window spread of any tattoo studio in the world. Jason Corbett has created something truly special and unique with this space. ♥️♥️♥️”

“Most of my tattoos have come from Liz. Her artwork is astounding and she can form the ideas I have into beautiful and powerful pieces. She also bounces ideas back and forth of potential changes and additions we can implement to improve the art/ really make it stand out or look even better. There isn’t an artist I trust to do this as much as I do Liz. So far we have an almost completed sleeve which features 3 main pieces that join together to make one composition. Her dark art style lent itself perfectly to my alternative/ dark imagery and ideas. I still have a lot I want to do and I know who I will be going to. Sessions with her are pleasant and seem to go by rather quickly. Considering that I almost always have full days booked in that is not easy to achieve. I cannot recommend her enough. I’ve attached some photos of the progress so far.”

“Claire was great with me - as someone who hadn't had a tattoo before my visit, she answered any questions I had and really helped me feel at ease. So delighted with the results - exactly as described. Very accommodating and clearly very experienced. Thank you!”

“Great atmosphere. The shop is ran by very polite and professional artist. Love my new tattoo. Great place to stop in while visiting Scotland.”

“Amazing environment, got a centipede tattoo done and was the best first tattoo experience ever. Friendly staff and awesome detail. 10/10 will definitely be coming back!”
