Self expression tattoos in London

“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.”

“I done my lip piercing with Josephine and she was absolutely brilliant! I had to re-done my piercing as the last time I done it in another place in London, they pierced it very bad. So Josephine helped me to re do it and she took lots of time to do it properly and cared a lot about it. I felt very safe and the experience was great in terms of not feeling much pain during the perforation and how good it looks the piercing now. Thank you so much for the time and care!!”

“I visited Inks and Needles in April ‘24 to get a tattoo from Jay, we messaged each other about the design beforehand. Jay’s enthusiasm for his art is absolutely infectious. Everything was clean and hygienic, the aftercare was explained throughly and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I have every intention of coming back for another tattoo as soon as I figure out what I want to have done. While having my tattoo, I noticed the piercer, working with a client. I liked how he talked her through the piercing so decided, spur of the moment to have a helix done. Sandro was happy to talk me through the process, we discussed my existing piercings & he advised me on the most suitable piece for my ear. He explained the cleaning process and advised me to come back to have the bar shortened after 6+ weeks which I did. I recently had to undergo surgery so immediately went to Sandro to have my piercings changed out for plastic retainers. Yesterday I went back again to have the piercings changed back and took the opportunity to have another helix. Again, Sandro was wonderful, helping me choose a huggie for the helix he’d done in April and a cute little flower for the new helix. Everyone at Inks and Needles is so friendly, very professional and extremely knowledgeable, you immediately feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. I have recommended Inks and Needles to everyone and anyone who has asked about my piercings and tattoos. Lovely bunch of people!”

“Absolutely amazing artist! Love my tattoo- thank you so much :) so friendly and great work! Actually listens to what you want and knows what will look good. Will defo be coming back next time I get a tattoo and recommend to anyone that wants one!”

“My artist Jake was very welcoming , friendly and funny . Very reassuring And a great artist to do my tattoos . Eye for ink is the best tattoo shop. Great banta and give great tattoo aftercare advice . I highly recommend Jake .”

“Honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough! Especially Meg!! I’ve been to many different tatto studios in the area and I’ve never been happy with my experiences however Since coming to scorpion ink, and having meg as my artist, I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Meg is such a great artist. I’ve had many tattoos done by her. I’ve recommended her to so many of my friends who have gone and got a tattoo from her. Honestly, I couldn’t recommend her enough. Her prices are good and by far the best artist ive had tattoo me!! She listens to what you want and delivers every single time!! I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is looking for a tattoo artist!!”

“Cannot recommend this place enough, the lady who pierced my nose took her time to make sure the placement was perfect. She is lovely and really knows her stuff. Also, the guy on the front desk who was super helpful and it was lovely to speak to him. Will be back for more piercings. Thank you”

“I went here to have some work done after having a bad experience elsewhere. I have to say they sounded like they knew exactly what they're talking about and told me exactly what they would do for me. I have a picture of a new tattoo and a picture of an old one that was revamped. They also corrected another tattoo, but I haven't attached a picture because I don't want to promote the place that originally done it in any way, shape, or form.”

“I absolutely love this tattoo studio, the staff are so friendly and make you feel completely comfortable and they are also so ridiculously talented. I've got a couple of tattoos from Clara here and will 100% be coming back.”

“It's my go to place to get that buzz! Very clean and professional. Staff make you feel very welcomed and comfortable. The first time I met them I knew I had friends for life. Prices are fair and reasonable on everything from tattoos, piercings and jewelry.”

“I got a tattoo from Holly today, she was lovely the environment is amazing everyone is very funny, Holly did a great job with my tattoo aswell I’m very happy”

“Long overdue 1st tattoo at 65 years old with my wife who also had her 1st!! All the staff were so welcoming and gave great advice.Peter the tattooist was lovely.patient and a perfectionist.”

“I have been using serendipity for my piercings for years and have always found the girls to be both completely professional and fun at the same time. The aftercare is brilliant too, any problems and you can go straight back in with any concerns. Love Serendipity!!”

“been here twice to finish off a half sleeve. Mia was absolutely brilliant! took so much time and care. everyone is very friendly and made me feel at home and comfortable. highly recommended A*****”

“Fantastic, polite, professional & friendly staff, all of them. Tasha is amazing, with the patients of a saint, I immediately felt at ease with her during my 5 hour sitting. Thank you for making it too easy, ill be back soon im sure! X”

“i got my navel pierced by jessica 10/10 experience with her. everyone was so sweet and welcoming. very professional but feels homely and the piercing was literally painless and so quick. thanks guys ❤️”

“Clean and modern studio with a huge amount of talent under one roof. All of the tattooists are so friendly and easy to chat too. After emailing my ideas I called to book in a consultation and after having a chat they gave me some really good advice on positioning, sizing and a few extra ideas to make my design really stand out. The design was done for me and was perfect I didn't need to make any adjustments they just seemed to take my ideas and make the design 100% better. I know some people don't like the waiting list but I truly believe if you want an amazing tattoo and want it perfect you wait for the best. Also they do run a cancellation list so I managed to get in sooner. The whole experience was fantastic and can't wait to pop in again with my next idea.”

“My Granddaughter had her nose piercing done here great lady very thorough when giving advice about the care of the piercing also I loved the atmosphere and the plants”

“Clean, friendly, professional & very quick. Lovely young lady pierced my ears today & it was completely painless. I had 2 sets done & they look & feel great. Great customer service & good prices. I will definitely be going back for more piercings.”
