“I visited Lin while I was in London for a couple of days, and she was absolutely incredible. I got four tattoos during my time there, and Lin made the entire process easy, professional, and comfortable. The whole staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, and the studio itself was spotless — clean, safe, and professional from start to finish. They were also very accommodating, which made the experience even better. I highly recommend Lin and the team if you’re looking for great work and a great atmosphere in London.”

“I’ve been Tattooed by Karen several times Such a fantastic skilled artist. I’d highly recommend getting a tattoo from any of the amazing artists at Devils Detail. Fabulous studio”

“I had the best experience working with Rhea on my very first big tattoo piece. She is the most warm and welcoming person and makes you feel right at home. I had so much fun! Her work is incredible and I could not be happier with my final piece, I never expected how beautiful it would be. I will definitely be visiting Rhea for my next piece. You are magnificent!”

“I recently got an Egyptian design tattooed by Adie at Renaissance Tattoo and I honestly couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I walked into the studio, it was clear I was in good hands. The space is spotless, calm, and welcoming—everything feels very professional yet personal. Adie took the time to truly listen to what I wanted. He didn’t just copy a reference image; he asked great questions about which symbols meant the most, how bold I wanted the shading, how fine the lines should be, what kind of style (realism, black & grey, etc.) I was leaning toward. He sketched with precision, explained the process and what to expect from healing, and made me feel confident every step of the way. When it came to the tattooing itself, I was amazed. The detail in the Egyptian motifs was immaculate. The black & grey work is smooth; contrast is strong but tasteful; every line is sharp, every curve intentional. During long stretches, he checked I was okay, let me take breaks when needed, kept the atmosphere relaxed (some good music, friendly chat), which helped more than I expected. What really stands out about Adie is not just his technical skill, but his intelligence and deep respect for what he’s creating. He clearly has a strong background—not just in art, but in understanding the meaning behind the imagery. I learned about his interest in Egyptology and theology during our consultation, and it made me trust that the symbols I’d chosen would be treated with care. Aftercare advice was excellent. He explained what to do (and what not to do), how the ink might settle or fade, how certain quirks are natural, etc. Now that the tattoo is healing, it looks even better than I expected—crisp, beautifully saturated, and still holding up strong. Overall, Adie at Renaissance Tattoo is outstanding. If you want an artist who is not only tremendously talented, but also intelligent, committed, communicative, and someone who cares about both the design and your comfort, you’ll be hard pressed to do better. I absolutely love my Egyptian design, and I can’t wait to go back for more. Highly, highly recommend.”
