Self expression tattoos in London

“I had 3 tattoos done by the lovely Natalie, she is very professional and so patient she helped me make my decision being I was so indecisive. I was so happy with her advice and I love all 3 of my tattoos. I've had so many compliments of the work she has done for me. All the staff are so welcoming and lovely. Would highly recommend this place.”

“Absolutely in love with his tattoos, highly recommend. Best place you could ever go too, if your looking for a tattoo artist, stop your search and book yourself in”

“Had a session booked yesterday with Christian. Felt apprehensive due to a poor experience with a previous tatooist. Done an absolute amazing job of a coverup! I was completely blown away with his level of expertise and professionalism. His ability to change and tweak the design, incorporating everything I wanted with a fine tooth comb. This man is a perfectionist, a true artist with skill and ability in abundance. If you want the best then I suggest you book with this man, all of his work is exquisite. He's a wonderful example of a great service, including after care, not to mention he's hilarious and i had such a good laugh! His shop does so many other services too, from botox and filler or tattooed brows, with a professional beautician, or a hair cut with a barber. 110 out of 100.”

“I was tattooed by Chantay. She designed an oya/Ghana piece for me in honour of my heritage. The artists at the studio were kind, chill, and very accommodating. The studio was very tidy and clean. Chantay was very patient with me and listened to when i needed to chill and take a break. I will most definitely go back and get tattooed by her again. Thank you.”

“Grant done my sons birthday on my neck, he was very easy to talk to and made the experience a bit more comfortable. Everyone else here is also very nice and welcoming.”

“Took my daughter to get her belly button pierced today. Outstanding service, the man was the absolute sweetest. Whole place was clean, friendly and inviting. Can’t recommend enough”

“Had my first tattoo done by Sophie at Electric Snake. Came out exactly as I wanted and Sophie was excellent. Will definitely be coming back!”

“I’ve had 2 days worth of work done with Jamie and absolutely LOVE my tattoo. Jamie is so professional and really listened to what I wanted to make it personal to me and constantly checked in to make sure I was feeling ok during the sessions. The studio itself is really welcoming too, the other artists are so friendly and you feel part of the family when you’re there! There’s nowhere else I’d ever go for my work now, as I’ve found home!”

“I had my very first tattoo completed by Jazmyn yesterday, and she has done an exceptional job. She was gentle, patient and understanding. I had some lovely conversations with her. I seriously couldnt recommend her more for first or returning tattoos! She made my black//grey valkyrie wings & rune tattoo come to life and I cant wait to see it healed. Jazmyn has provided me with an aftercare sheet informing me how to properly look after my new ink. She lets me know that if I have any questions or concerns at all- I can always message her. The shop itself is professional and clean. All the artists are welcoming and kind. I was never on edge or felt judged at my time in there. I was offered a sweet halfway through to keep my sugar up. Thank you for looking after me Jazmyn!!”

“My daughter and I both had piercings done with Jakob. My daughter is 12 and was having 2nd piercings done in her ears, I was having a helix. Jacob was so lovely and down to earth, putting us both at ease and he explained the whole process to us. I was quite nervous (moreso than my daughter who didn't even flinch!) but Jakob was very confident and efficient, chatting to us throughout the process. All the equipment used was very clean and sterile and Jakob talked us through aftercare. Honestly, this is the second piercing I've had done in World of Tattoos and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I highly recommend Jakob.”

“Met Gregg through an app and after getting tattooed from different places around the uk and other countries. Never felt more relaxed and enjoyed having my tattoo together. Highly recommended would suggest getting bigger pieces of art done as he enjoys his work way too much...can't wait till the next one.”

“I always come here for my tattoos, the staff are lovely, shoutout to Izabela and Paul. They always make me feel welcome and comfortable. Will always recommend to my friends and family.”

“Absolutely amazing … Unique design created from a photo and transferred as a tattoo into arm. One of the best real life tattoos I’ve seen. Both Chris and Esther are extremely knowledgeable and happy to share info and offer ideas and assistance. Would 100% recommend and will definitely visit again.”

“George is a true master of his craft and I am blown away by the quality and detail of the Japanese style tattoo he has done for me , he is a tattoo living legend and all round top bloke.and would not hesitate to recommend, after previous bad experiences with other tattooists I would not go anywhere else now , five stars from me ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐”

“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 :)”

“Got a nip piercing here; the team were all so respectful and professional, all whilst being incredibly friendly and helped ease me out of discomfort with a few quick laughs. The piercer was obviously really knowledgable and talked me and an apprentice through everything she was doing. Can’t wait to go back and get some more work done, firm 10/10!”

“The person who helped me was so kind and accommodating to my needs. They gave me some great advice for my swollen piercing (not done here) and changed it to a longer bar. I had a great experience :)”

“Fantastic place to go and get pierced, Shelby is beyond amazing with making you feel calm and welcome. Piercing was quick and barely had time to hurt before it was done - I definitely recommend coming here :)”

“Great Tattoo experience from first contact to leaving with your fresh ink Elbert and Archie know how to deal with their clients and make them happy. Skin care smells great, think it was lemon sherbet and the antibacterial was bubblegum. Also great tunes playing throughout.”

“I've had a back tattoo done recently. But it was done by a great man named Jim. The art work he does is incredible. I couldn't thank him enough for what he did for me. This place is highly recommended. I trust this man with everything. He's a good man. Keep up the good work Jim.”

“Absolutely love it here I got tattooed by Carlo he's done a couple of mine and he is honestly so amazing as an artist but also as a person he made me feel so at ease and comfortable through the whole session and was very attentive to whether or not I needed breaks and how I was, I cannot recommend him enough honestly was such a great experience and always is. The whole atmosphere there with the rest of the team to was also great made the appointment feel so good and comfortable”

I was really happy with the design she made for me, and the tattooing process was smooth and efficient, helped along by some good conversation!. I've been here several times for different artists and always have a great experience, all of the people working here are so friendly and the atmosphere is great!

“Visited Neel’s whilst working away from home and left very impressed and even returned the next day. Yuliya is a really talented tattooist. Kind and honest service and very reasonable pricing!”

“I've had 3 tattoos done at Skunx, two by Milan and one by Eva. They are both great artists, and I've had so many compliments on the dramatic tiger stripes that Milan did for me! The atmosphere at the studio is relaxed and friendly, and each time I was tattooed, the artists made me feel comfortable. I was very fussy about getting the designs perfectly positioned before they started inking, but both Milan and Eva were very patient and didn't make me feel rushed even though the positioning process took a long time. It's very important to these artists that their clients are 100% satisfied with their work. I would highly recommend them to others.”

“House of Iris is the place to go!!! I recently started my tattoo journey with the wonderful Nikki, I enquired about an idea for a tattoo I wanted and she drew multiple options for me and tweaked it until I was 100% with the design and it was incredible. She clearly has a passion for her work and pays attention to every little detail. During the appointment, there is a friendly and comfortable environment, you can genuinely tell that the staff all value eachother. I will never go to another tattoo or piercing shop. I have also recently had piercings done by Chris after going to a dodgy shop for years, they healed extremely well and the professionalism during the appointment really helps you feel sure that you are being pierced right! Thank you all so much.”
