Tattoo studio in Edinburgh

“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.

The studio itself is clean, sterile and well presented and the jewellery they sell has never given me any issues. I simply couldn’t recommend enough!”
