Piercing shop in London

“Went in today to have an old tattoo reworked/covered by the tattoo artist Alex. After years of being embarrassed by it and hating looking at it in the mirror, I am completely blown away by the result so far! As soon as I walked in the shop, Dan and the team made me feel welcome, and comfortable, with complimentary coffees and water. The whole vibe of the place is outstanding. Alex is an absolute master, a magician even. Words really can't describe how happy his work has made me. I no longer have to feel embarrased about my arm. I just wish I had come and seen Alex years ago. Thank you so much, the difference this has made is unreal.”

“Was greeted by Verna the second I walked in and there was very little wait. Verna is very experienced, as she explained everything before and after the piercing. She was also patient with me from choosing my belly ring colour to the moment of piercing, to which her daughter was there to support me by holding my hands during. Before send off she gave me a detailed sheet, with a bandage, on how to correctly make the solution for cleaning. Overall great and quick experience. Will definitely be coming back!”

“Absolutely amazing experience! Annabel made me feel comfortable from start to finish and really listened to what I wanted. The design came out even better than I imagined — clean lines, great detail, super professional, friendly, and talented. I’ll definitely be coming back for my next piece!”

“Took my daughter here today and I can’t thank them enough she had the best experience, the man and lady that did her ear piercing was so lovely and put my daughter at complete ease and her ear piercings are perfect Would highly recommended them to anyone My daughter and me couldn’t be happier”

“I had a shoulder tattoo done her early in June this year. It's absolutely beautiful and everyone at the studio was so friendly. Vaz did such a great job, I know where I'll be going here for any future tattoos!”

“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!!”

“I absolutely loved my time here. it was such an incredible experience and Hrisy was the best teacher ever! She made the learning fun and inclusive. 10/10 will be back in the future. I would recommend the academy to ANYONE willing to listen, if you're thinking about it, do it.”

“Paul is amazing! After having very limited success with various types of laser treatments to remove a port wine birthmark I was recommended Paul and it’s been incredible. His attention to detail and calm manner made this almost enjoyable and the fact you can no longer see the birthmark is fantastic . He explained every step and even though there is never a 100% guarantee the coverage is brilliant. I would definitely recommend Paul. The shop decoration is fantastic. It’s very clean and the staff so friendly .”

“My friend and I got pierced by Viktor today, and he made the overall experience amazing. The studio is clean and well maintained, and the pricing is fantastic for the quality of service you get. We had a good laugh and a chat, and my smiley was pretty much painless as I was so relaxed! Everything went really smoothly and we loved it. Will definitely be coming back for more piercings and tattoos :)”

“I went on monday to get a navel piercing and Rick was the best! He explained to me everything that he was going to do, he kept everything clean and sterilized and he even showed me that the needle and the plank were closed before using them. He was so so nice and it’s clear that he’s a professional. I’m so happy with my experience there, I definitely recommend it and I would come back if I weren’t from Spain.”

“Had the idea after a Festival of RÜFÜS DU DOL to get the 5:46 tattoo. Just walked in without a appointment and i could be helped immediately. By the amazing work of Kayleigh who put the tattoo on me with awaome precision and took the time for me. I would definitely recommend going here i paid 90£ for it and in very happy with it! Thankyou”

“I had a really great experience with Justin. It was my first tattoo and a bit of spontaneous idea. But Justin and the team at Nemesis were really kind and really took the time to make sure I as well as themselves understood what I was looking for. Overall, would definitely recommend anyone looking for their first tattoo experience.”

“I had an amazing experience with Valentina! She provides great service and is incredibly thorough with her work. Her attention to detail is outstanding, and she always made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and caring tattoo artist! A big thank you to Saskia as well for her quick responses over email and for making sure there was availability that suited me. Highly recommend them both — such a professional and friendly team”

“Dan gold is an absolute legend!!! By far the best tattoo experience I’ve had to date! I was very unhappy with parts of my previous sleeve from a different shop and he Helped me with a cover up and did an amazing job! very very happy with the work he did. He was very accommodating to my situation as life be lifing, I had a session and I couldn’t get back down to the shop for some months later he remembered I paid for my session previously and even gave me extra time at no additional costs! He is a great laugh and a all round great guy, he also has a acquired a great team, everyone there is very friendly and welcoming and the work I see them doing on other customers looked top spec too. Safe to say you are in good hands at Dan golds tattoo shop. 100% will be returning.”

“Had Emvee do my piercings, she did a great job creating a relaxing and friendly atmosphere making the process very neat and quick. You will find that the rest of the staff are just as friendly and happy to help out with any questions or advice! Would come again to do another piercing :)”

“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 had my helix pierced last month and this is the best studio I’ve been to. The staff are extremely professional, very friendly, and gave great advice. They didn’t rush the process at all and took their time to make sure everything was perfect. The studio was extremely clean — a true hidden gem in Shepherd’s Bush. Highly recommended!”

“Betta did some excellent work on some tribal tattoos for me. Planned out so that I was never uncomfortable as we know how far I can go before it gets too painful. Price is as quoted so if they do it in an hour or three it’s same price. Level of detail is insane. Design is checked and checked again so that I was happy with it. Printed out then checked on arm. Made sure all was ok before even bringing a needle out. Highly recommended Just added another photo of the ongoing work. Tribal filled in and blue eyes and heart. Betta doing some great work on my arm. Another up date Now working on the other side of the arm turning into a half sleeve what started out as a tribal wrist band. So here is a run down of how it went. First hour was doing the usual consent forms then on to checking the design ( which Betta was happy to change for me). The checking how it would fit on the arm. Then print off and transfer onto arm. Betta changed a couple of things when it was on my arm because arms are 3d and paper isn’t. Once all that was done I got to check and see if it looked how I wanted it to look. We did this both looking in a mirror and photos. Then onto the actual tattoo itself. Made sure I was comfortable happy with how I have to stay. Betta works quickly for such intricate work. But always made sure I was ok. We know how far I can go it becomes too much for me. So although it looks half coloured in this was as far as I had agreed for this time and I had already booked a return visit. Service They knew I was coming and both sent me a text and email to confirm. Given a coffee on arrival and a chat to put me at ease. Any concerns I had with design were addressed and it was changed to what I preferred. Time in the chair was good being asked if I needed a break etc. after care usual high standard. Will update again as I get more done.”

“I had my piercing changed to a hoop and Gemma was such a lovely lady she is very good with people and I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.”

“Me and my friend came in today for a lip piercing and an eyebrow piercing. Maddie was really nice & helpful throughout the whole process and I’m really happy with the way it turned out. Also very grateful that I was able to get gold jewellery. Thank you for the amazing experience and the great vibes!”

“My husband Kyle and I went to Paul for tattoos to commemorate our trip. Paul was very responsive and created beautiful tattoos based off of what we wanted. Very happy with how both of them turned out! Also great chatting with Paul about all of his travels!”

“Best piercing experience I've ever had. Karly is amazing at what she does and takes a lot of care and pride in it which shows in the results. She has helped me on my ear styling journey and gives v good advice and direction.”

“Last week the talented and lovely Talulah done a elegant, beautiful and unique tatto for me which had alot of thought and meaning into it. From our consultation to the actual day , she was so attentive and caring and making sure it was everything I wanted and more. Also I almost forgot I was having a tattoo as she made the experience so relaxed and comfortable. I love it , thank you so so much I love the dot work, mandala and detail.”

“I've always wanted to get a tattoo bit couldn't find anywhere I felt comfortable. I went to Crimson Tear initially for a nose piercing, Rhia was amazing. I felt so comfortable that I booked my first ever tattoo with Martin. Martin did an amazing job, so fast at adding the tattoo. A fab job, true artist and great person too. This entire place is just a great professional outfit. Reasonably priced, with deposit for the time booked. Highly recommended. Look no further.”

“Took my younger sibling to get his first piercings (Double lobes) and to get a helix for myself. The friendliest of staff and the shops atmosphere is lovely. Their attention to detail and hygiene was amazing. I never write reviews but on behalf of the both of us, we adored it. Definitely going to be returning ♥”

“I had real apprehensions when I first decided to go to West London Ink because I wasn’t sure what my half sleeve would look like when finished. We just spoke about it and no design was shared prior to having the tattoos done. However, this was my mistake! I had my half sleeve done by James who knew what the finished product would look like and is immensely skilled in what he does. His advice and insight was extremely helpful to allow me to make an informed decision. Thank you so much James for the fantastic job. The staff are friendly, the establishment is hygienic and I would recommend this tattoo parlour. I have a small area to cover to complete my half sleeve and I look forward to my follow up appointment!”

“I stopped by at Valhalla today because I needed help with my nose piercing, and I was greeted, and assisted, by the lovely and gracious Stacy. Even though I didn't get my initial nose piercing done at Valhalla, she was still more than willing to help take a look at it and assist me in removing the labret bar ahead of an MRI appointment. She really went above and beyond to help me which I really appreciated. It's a very cool space and filled with what seems like great people, so I'll definitely return for any new piercings, piercing assistance, and even a new tattoo.”

“Amazing shop, the vibe is on point. My son had a lip piercing today, and an hour later wanted another piercing on his lip. They gave really truthful advice and said to leave it a week and let the swelling go down. I feel other shops would of just booked him in regardless. So safety for the client was the priority, not taking peoples money just for the sake of it.”
