The 30 Best Artistic expression in London

“Connor, the tattooist, goes one step beyond to ensure that the tattoo you choose is suitable and to your style. He also cracks on with the work with no interruption and gives you his full attention from start to finish.”

“Well, what an absolute amazing fine talented artist, literally from start to finish Nick helped me remove an awful old tattoo over a period, with he’s laser removal skills, and then replace with a beautiful new sleeve. Which I also let Nick design for me, once I had given him some ideas he literally created a master piece of drawings, he’s attention to detail is out of this world so I left him solely to design my sleeve. I cannot recommend him enough, he’s an absolute GOAT tattooist and I would never go anywhere else xx”

“Glenn is very friendly and easy to talk to. Was easy to book an appointment, when it came to the tattoo he spoke about placement and went through options of sizes and we decided which one would be best. Was very careful and precise and the tattoo turned out great. Very friendly staff aswell overall good experience!”

“Soo happy with my first ever tattoo done here! Terry was professional, knowledgeable and made me feel at ease. The shop is also very lovely and clean! Would definitely recommend this place to everyone!”

“Avi is an absolute master of her craft. Her artistic skills are truly impressive, and she has a keen eye for detail. I proudly wear quite a few tattoos by Avi and I can confirm, the experience I get at her studio is always excellent. Avi always takes time to understand my vision, offering expert advice and suggestions that makes the final design even better than I had imagined. During the tattooing process, Avi is always incredibly patient and meticulous. She takes great care to ensure I was comfortable at all times, checking in frequently and providing breaks whenever I needed. Solid Ink Tattoo Studio is fantastically designed and decorated to make you feel welcomed and comfortable. And of of course the hygiene standards are impeccable! If you're looking for a tattoo artist who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about their clients, look no further than Solid Ink Tattoo Studio. I wholeheartedly recommend Avi, no matter if it's your first tattoo or one of many, you will not be disappointed.”

“Six bullets tattoo…well what can I say, from entry you’re greeted with politeness and big smiles. Tea or coffee, a place to chill before your appointment. All the artist and staff I have encountered whilst I’ve been there - multiple times - are engaging, friendly and treat you like you’ve known them for years. On my last visit my son joined me to get his first tattoo - a fantastic experience and he was throughly taken care of throughout the day. The artist working there cover all styles, their attitude towards the client and their work is second to none that I have experienced. From entry to departure, you’re in fine hands.”

“Wouldn’t get a tattoo from anyone else. Hollie and the team are so talented, welcoming and accommodating. Have been several times and I have been nothing but over the moon with Hollie’s work. For the (more than reasonable) price you can’t get better!”

“We had an amazing experience with Matt! My mum, sister, and I got matching tattoos, and he made the whole process so smooth and enjoyable. He allowed us to customise each tattoo to fit our preferences, which made them even more meaningful. The studio was spotless and private, which made us feel comfortable and relaxed. We didn’t feel rushed at all, and Matt was incredibly professional while also being friendly and easy to talk to. The tattoos turned out beautifully—his work is exceptional, and we’re absolutely thrilled with the results. If you’re looking for a skilled, professional tattoo artist who genuinely cares about his clients, we’d highly recommend Matt.”

“I recently got a tattoo from Carolina, and I cannot express how grateful I am for her incredible work. When she showed me the design, I genuinely had to hold back tears. she captured my cat’s eye, fur colours and shades in a way I never could have imagined. Carolina listened to me so carefully and took all the time needed to accommodate every request. Throughout the entire process, she made me feel completely comfortable and supported. Her humanity, kindness and professionalism are truly top-notch. I’m so glad I chose her for this tattoo. I love it so much, and I’ll be forever grateful for her talent and her heart. And as a plus plus plus, the whole team is super fun and friendly! Feels like you're getting a tattoo in a friend's living room! (With sick decors!!!) Highly, highly recommended.”

“Brad, Alice and Friz (Amber) are all lovely and the studio has such a chilled vibe. The quality of work produced day in day out is amazing and I constantly get asked about my artwork. Great shop, great people, great work and the occasional singing outburst, what else could you ask for. Thanks to you all for making each visit so easy.”

“Had my first tattoo done by Karen, very pleased with it. Very friendly staff, was a bit nervous but Karen made be feel very relaxed. She is a very talented artist. Will definitely be coming back and ask for Karen if I have another tattoo .”

“I have so far got two tattoos from Paul and Everlasting Gaze Tattoo shop and the highest praise I can give him is that I constantly get compliments on both of the tattoos. I gave him the components of the tattoo that I wanted and he then went away and drew me a custom tattoo. If i was unsure on anything or wanted something tweaked, he was happy to redraw. During the whole process he put me at ease and the 6 hour sessions went very quickly as it turned out we had quite a bit in common, even go for the odd pint now and again :) Quality guy and quality shop, book in for your tattoo and you won't regret it.”

“Got my first tattoo with Alice today. Super impressed and very welcoming for a person new to tattoos. Very helpful when it came to adjustments and prep beforehand as well as checking in with me during for any breaks. Can’t recommend these guys enough, already thinking of my next one!”

“I would highly recommend Martin to anyone. He was very kind and supportive as it was my first tattoo…. I just love it! I will definitely be back for another. They both put me totally at ease. Thanks so so much.”

“Rebecca is the best ! I’ve done 3 piercing with her and was really worried about the pain, I wasn’t sure where I wanted some of them and she was super helpful into helping me picking and reassure me. It was clean, full of informations and she kept on letting me know what were the next steps and what was happening! Very very kind and lovely and great artist. Will book again for piercing and for tattoos ! Thank you again !!”

“Today I had 4 tattoos done by the brilliant Mac. One included a cover up, after my initial consultation with Mac he advised me to go for something other than my original idea; very over the moon I did!! He is very professional, friendly and definitely knows his stuff. I am very very pleased with what I’ve had done today and I plan to have more work done by him in the future. Highly recommend !! Shout out to the lovely Gemma also who was working with him today.”

“In the middle of September, I came with my sister for walk-in piercings. We were very pleased with the professionalism. Our piercings (nipple and Rook) were done by Michael, we felt safe, he explained everything and everything was done clean. Piercings are healing great and we are very pleased with the work, would recommend!”
