Artistic expression in London

“I went to three kings today to get my first tattoo and was greeted by the most lovely staff , I was very nervous but they made my experience so much better , it was a very quick and painless ( I have a medium pain tolerance) , it’s been four hours since I got it done and all pain is completely gone. I was tattooed by Amanda she made sure the placement of the tattoo was perfect for me , even though I changed where I wanted the placement multiple times she was very understanding and helpful, it was like talking to a long time friend, it was very calming and my tattoo was finished within 15/20 mins . They also provided me with the best aftercare advice, The store was very clean and smelt nice, hygiene was something I was worried about but after seeing how clean it was in there I would not hesitate to return for my next tattoo , I highly recommend this store and I couldn’t ask for a better experience”

“Chris was amazing, did a wonderful job on my first tattoo on my hand. Thank you P.s anyone parking near by, download the app to your phone, as the council website and phone number was absolutely rubbish. Thank you again Chris.”

“Anissa was an absolute godsend when my partner got his eyebrow pierced. He wasn't feeling too good afterwards and she was so kind, she got him some pineapple and a coke to recover. We had a lovely chat and felt so looked after. Absolutely recommend this shop to anyone. Thanks again so much!”

“Lazarus for piercings is fantastic! Super professional, piercing went super well and easy. Month later when it started to act up I came in and he chatted me through it and took a look. Totally respect his values to keep up with me and have me come in to check healing progress. Recommend!!”

“came by on monday to see the gorgeous aura and i honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience! she was so lovely and did such fantastic work — also big shoutout to jezz who was also super sweet ”

“Had a portrait of my 3 kids done and I couldn't believe how good it is, it's amazing. Had a really good experience and really good service. Definitely recommend going there.”

“I had an amazing experience getting my fine line tattoo done by Diego Santos. He was super welcoming, really listened to what I wanted, and made sure every detail of the design was perfect before we started. His linework is unbelievably clean and precise — you can tell he puts real care into what he does. The studio felt relaxed, safe, and professional, and the whole session was comfortable from start to finish. I’m beyond happy with how my tattoo turned out, and I’ll definitely be back to Diego for my next ones!”

“Very appreciative of such a great experience getting my first tattoo here. The staff are super helpful, enthusiastic and friendly. The design made for me was great and the detailed work doing the artwork was superb and I was taken care of so well. Roxy who did my tattoo is super talented and Freindly and did a great job”

“Have had so many tattoos done here and my nose piercing and they are fantastic artists. The style of tattoos are unique and they definitely create designs that are better than you expect them to be. I used to dislike colour in tattoos but since having some coloured ones done by Steve I would only have colour now- his use of colour is remarkable. Highly recommended.”

“Just did a full day tattoo with Yas, what a great experience!! The studio is so welcoming, everyone is happy and friendly, willing to help! Then the tattoo I ended up with is more than I could have wished for!! I will be recommending them to everyone I know and will be going back for more and more!! Thank you so much Yas!!”

“After a poor painful tattoo done by another shop it put me off for years but thanks to these amazing talented tattooists they restored my faith. I've now had 10 tattoos done Anna (one of their tattooists) and im looking forward to my next session. They make me feel so relaxed that even a 2 hour session it just flys by with they conversations and humour.”

“Micky was fantastic doing my leg. Highly quality work. A really nice and relaxed atmosphere to have a tattoo done. Excellent prices and I look forward to returning for more soon. Would definitely recommend him if you want a nice, quiet, private environment to have a tattoo completed.”

“I had a Japanese-style tattoo made by Terry. He’s very knowledgable and skilled; a true artist. Highly recommend.”

“I've had a really good experience at Monstera with the staff. The tattoo artist teodor was very professional' and the tattoo that he put together for me was great. This will definitely be my go to place in the future for any tattoos that I would like to have later on. I'm extremely happy with what they have done well done guys thankyou.”

“Friendly and welcoming studio with a really relaxed atmosphere. I’ve had three tattoos done here and each one was done to a high standard. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality work in a comfortable setting.”

“Alexandra was amazing. I cannot rate her enough. She ended up staying late and was the most knowledgable, professional and kindest piercer I have ever met. I cannot rate her highly enough. She is an industry expert and all round awesome human”

“Thank you the staff are nice and friendly. Quick job and very clean shop. Love my piercings !!”

“Had my first tattoo done with Kat. Very simple to arrange, as she was aware it was my first one she booked a bit of time out of her day so I could discuss the design, size and location of tattoo. Didn’t have to wait too long until the booking. On the day everything went smooth, Kat reassured me and made sure I was okay throughout. Once I’ve got a few more ideas I will definitely contact Kat again.”

“Went for my first ever tattoo yesterday and all I can say is that after feeling quite nervous maryam did not hesitate to make me feel as comfortable as possible, a really nice and funky place inside aswell which is amazing and the tattoo couldn’t have been done any better, I genuinely could not have asked for more. I will be using this place from now on and will recommend to others”

“Just want to say a massive thank you to Aaron for my new tattoo, the design far exceeded my expectations, and I was well looked after by Vanessa as well (both are legends!). I will definitely be back again, as it was such a relaxed atmosphere on my appointment day. Thank you all for a great experience”

“My first visit to the shop back in October, Neil was extremely welcoming and made me feel comfortable. Was easy to talk to and all the staff was extremely friendly. Neil was very helpful with advising me on ideas about the tattoo I wanted and was reassuring. Neil has been very helpful with my aftercare and answering all my questions without any problem, reassuring me and making me feel better about the situation I was in. Definitely recommend Neil and the guys at Pure colour tattoos, will definitely be visiting again.”

“Got my nostril done at Metal Morphosis Carnaby by Lara today and was super happy with my experience. Lara was super lovely and welcoming, explained everything very thoroughly and clearly and was very rigorous with cleanliness. She took time to make sure I was happy with my placement and was very sweet and patient with my pre piercing anxiety! She was super thorough in explaining the aftercare and healing process. The space was super clean, to a clinical standard, and Lara made it clear I could contact her for advice afterwards at any time. Would def recommend Lara and Metal Morphosis!”

“Absolutely lovely parlour great tattoo really worth it i went there a week and the piece is fabulous the people who work there are really nice and reassuring will definitely going back there”

“Went to Inkfish for my first tattoo Was welcomed by Abi What can I say other than Wow!!!! She is AMAZING ... her line work and attention to detail is fantastic. She is creative, kind and so friendly. I would recommend her to anyone looking for ink.”

“I love this shop and the team in there. They all make you feel welcome and Dan puts you at ease when tattooing you. There’s no arrogance or ego and the place is immaculate. Plus they are all wicked artists with top level skills. Highly recommend”

Shout-out to poppy as well- silly sausage piercings who is a different level of creative and attentive when it comes to piercings. I would recommend the loft to anyone!”

“Ive had 5 piercings here and all done lovely! Really kind as I am under 18 but was still treated with respect/ not undermined. Helped me change a really bad jewellery in my daith and had a nice interaction with the lady who does the lasering. Will always come back.”

“I’ve been here 3 times now just finished my calf piece and I can honestly say I can’t think of going to any other tattoo artist. The work is always done with immense detail and Tony is just such an amazing guy good conversation and it never feels awkward absolutely amazing here !”

“As a young person I was absolutely terrified of getting my helix done as all three lobes were guns but Chris was amazing and made me feel so secure and comfortable. So clean and such a funky little place (in a good way) I couldn’t recommend them enough!! Thank you so much!”
