Self expression through art in London

“We hired Kes for facepainting at my daughter's 3rd birthday party. She was simply brilliant. The kids were over the moon with it and so were the parents, as for many, it was their first experience of it. Kes is an extremely talented artist and facepainter. I will have no hesitation in recommending her to friends and family. Thank you for being one of the highlights of the party!”

“Lucy and Becky ran our daughter’s 6th birthday party. Was a dance class themed party with performance to parents at the end. Lucy discussed songs for the playlist and format of the party with me in advance. Arrived promptly and took all the kids and taught them dance moves, whilst the parents got to chat! They then helped us with sandwiches and cakes before resuming the lesson then a fun end of party performance! Very professional, and great with the kids. Highly recommend”

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.”

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.”

She's been absolutely amazing in every way, making it work all together and I couldn't be happier. Super detail orientated, lovely and saved my life with a hot tea when my shivers were getting out of hand. All the staff is friendly and fun, such a great atmosphere and clean environment. Can't wait to be back !”

“A welcoming, friendly but professional service and high hygiene standards. I was made to feel at ease straight away by all the staff. I was given the time to discuss my tattoo, swapped ideas and measurements taken etc. Then within a week later, I was booked in. Cristian the tattoo artist, took the time to show me awesome ideas for my tattoo. These designs were much better than I could of thought of! He made sure it was all the right size and completely happy with all the intricate details, breaking down each bits of my tattoo. During the process he was checking I was okay as well as worked a lot of detail in a timely manner, but no means rushed. The end result is incredible, highly detailed, unique, personal and far better than I imagined! I’ll definitely be returning and having more tattoos by him. Highly recommended!”

When we arrived Rose explained the process really well in a non-scary way, she was really friendly and so easy to chat to. Amy pierced my daughter’s ears and she was clam, patient and just lovely. We received lots of advice on cleaning the piercings and when we left my daughter was given a bravery certificate and stickers. I would definitely recommend and we will be coming back!”

“Hi, this is Hellfire and I'm brutally honest in my review. I came by this tattoo shop completely by chance, just passing through the area on my way to the gym, and went in purely lead by instinct. I never imagined that I could've experience the best possible service I ever received in any tattoo shop in London (and I've been to plenty) by Bianca and Bogdan. I will not review the piece of art I got until fully touched up and healed, but I will however recommend both artists to absolutely anyone looking to get a tattoo in London. :) Ruthlessly, with Love, Hellfire.”

Erin is an excellent teacher, she is patient and encouraging, and really takes the time to give you feedback and help you improve and progress, regardless of level or ability.
