“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!”

“Hey there! I recently got my first tattoo with Label Tattoo, and it was an incredible experience. Marcelo was absolutely fantastic! As it was my first tattoo, he was incredibly helpful and patient throughout the process. He listened attentively to my ideas, brought his professional expertise to bear, and explained all the details that would make the tattoo come to life. Then, he set up an appointment and completed a full arm tattoo in just one day! I’m still in awe of his determination, speed, and incredible skills. I can’t stop admiring my tattoo! Thank you so much, Marcelo, for this amazing experience.”

“Dear Angela - thank you so much for my helix and nape piercing. The placement is perfect and it’s so pretty! And it did NOT hurt!!! The healing process is very stable and I haven’t had a problem since. I’m back in Japan where body piercing is much less common than England but a lot of people (with a surprised face) tells me it looks so pretty. Thanks again and would come for a new one elsewhere when I’m back in London! Ayumi”

“I went for cover my old tattoo. My first visit was very welcoming and was easy to make an appointment. Evita was my artist and she did very great job, she made me feel comfortable and she is very professional. I'm happy with my experience and I planning to come back.”

“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.”

“Got my first tattoo done by Charlie last week. From my basic idea he created something very individual. I'm completely happy with the work he did!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Jade has done two tattoos for me now and they are both my favourite out of all. They have lasted better then any other and she always exceeds expectations”

“What an amazing experience for my first tattoo. All the staff were lovely, with a massive shout out to the amazing and talented Callum Els. Such a beautiful studio with a relaxed and chilled vibe. Made me feel very comfortable and special. The tattoo itself is a dream that has been living in my head for 15 years and Callum hit the mark and made it a reality. Beyond my expectations, and they were very high after 15 years, so I am delighted with the end result. Thanks Noire Ink, I will be back.”

“Had a great couple of days at Black Tapestry Tattoo starting a left arm sleeve – all the line work has been completed and I can't wait to come back to do the background! Highly recommend Chris and his creative approach – he took my reference ideas, incorporated his style to create an awesome custom design and I'm thrilled with how it looks so far. Great studio with a relaxed feel, helped by not being on a high street and appreciated all the plants! The warming pad on the tattoo table was also a nice touch to help keep you comfortable.”
