Self expression through art in London

“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”

“Ella is a lovely tattooist who knows her stuff and guided us the have the best end result tattoo’s. Would 100% recommend.”

“I recently had a tattoo done by Kat and couldn't be happier, she was lovely and so kind from start to finish. 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! I can easily recommend visiting here!”

“Been a while since I got my Tattoo, but it had to be at Lals. It only made sense that this legends place be part of the story. I feel no matter whom you may choose to artistically create you something, it'll be well worth the outcome. It was Luca who drew up my Irezumi ( who no longer works here) but nonetheless, I know the other artists are as great. If you're thinking of getting a piece, Lals place is more than worth getting it done at.”

“I had great experience here, good customer service, my tattoo is healing nicely, I'll be back again and again for sure”

“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!”

“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.”

“Leoni Hughes is the most intricate and precise tattooist I’ve ever experienced. Her calm, holistic approach makes you feel seen, grounded, and reassured throughout the process. She’s a witch with ink — a true master of her craft, and a joy to be around.”

“Had a fantastic experience today at K-Ink. Was a very warm and personable experience. My tattoo artist José (kidkaeno) did a beautiful tattoo, was really quick and created exactly what I wanted. Owner of the studio was also very friendly and I really appreciated that they both took the time to get to know me. Will definitely be visiting again :)”

“Would give more than five stars if I could! My friend and I walked in today with vague ideas about matching tattoos and left with two beautiful and unique pieces of art. Manu was patient, professional, and welcoming, as were all of the staff we encountered. The pricing was more than fair and the overall vibes were immaculate. Thank you so much Manu for listening to our ideas and creating gorgeous and memorable pieces for us!”

“Booked in with Gem, the whole process was super smooth with no issues. Spent a good few hours in the studio and it's a very comfortable and interesting studio with loads of art covering all the walls. Super happy with my new tattoo, it turned out perfect.”

“Got my first tattoo here earlier this month while I was visiting family in the UK. This place is so freaking cool. Everyone was super friendly and they made it a relaxing and fun experience. Can’t wait to come back.”

“Anissa was an absolute godsend when my partner got his eyebrow pierced. He wasn't feeling too good afterwards and she was so kind, she got him some pineapple and a coke to recover. We had a lovely chat and felt so looked after. Absolutely recommend this shop to anyone. Thanks again so much!”

“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!!”

“Had a portrait of my 3 kids done and I couldn't believe how good it is, it's amazing. Had a really good experience and really good service. Definitely recommend going there.”

“Very appreciative of such a great experience getting my first tattoo here. The staff are super helpful, enthusiastic and friendly. The design made for me was great and the detailed work doing the artwork was superb and I was taken care of so well. Roxy who did my tattoo is super talented and Freindly and did a great job”

“Just did a full day tattoo with Yas, what a great experience!! The studio is so welcoming, everyone is happy and friendly, willing to help! Then the tattoo I ended up with is more than I could have wished for!! I will be recommending them to everyone I know and will be going back for more and more!! Thank you so much Yas!!”

“After a poor painful tattoo done by another shop it put me off for years but thanks to these amazing talented tattooists they restored my faith. I've now had 10 tattoos done Anna (one of their tattooists) and im looking forward to my next session. They make me feel so relaxed that even a 2 hour session it just flys by with they conversations and humour.”

“Micky was fantastic doing my leg. Highly quality work. A really nice and relaxed atmosphere to have a tattoo done. Excellent prices and I look forward to returning for more soon. Would definitely recommend him if you want a nice, quiet, private environment to have a tattoo completed.”

“Alexandra was amazing. I cannot rate her enough. She ended up staying late and was the most knowledgable, professional and kindest piercer I have ever met. I cannot rate her highly enough. She is an industry expert and all round awesome human”

“Got my nostril done at Metal Morphosis Carnaby by Lara today and was super happy with my experience. Lara was super lovely and welcoming, explained everything very thoroughly and clearly and was very rigorous with cleanliness. She took time to make sure I was happy with my placement and was very sweet and patient with my pre piercing anxiety! She was super thorough in explaining the aftercare and healing process. The space was super clean, to a clinical standard, and Lara made it clear I could contact her for advice afterwards at any time. Would def recommend Lara and Metal Morphosis!”

“I’ve been here 3 times now just finished my calf piece and I can honestly say I can’t think of going to any other tattoo artist. The work is always done with immense detail and Tony is just such an amazing guy good conversation and it never feels awkward absolutely amazing here !”

“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 want to say a huge thank you to Lee at Sacred Empire Tattoo Parlour in Tunbridge Wells for the amazing work he’s done on the tattoos on my hand. I'm absolutely thrilled with how it turned out. Lee made the whole experience comfortable and took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. I couldn’t be happier with the result and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work in a relaxed and friendly environment. I'll be back to have the other finger done when the cut on it heals. Thanks again, Lee”

“I have now been a student in Danceforce for over a year and I am so happy that I made the decision to move here when I did. I was greeted warmly from the first day of class and have enjoyed every lesson since then. Miss Lexie is incredibly hardworking and kind and has inspired me to think about teaching dance myself in the future. Miss Jennifer, Miss Christie and Miss Carol are all amazing teachers - my experiences in dance-force have really helped me grow as a person - and I couldn’t be more grateful. I could not recommend Dance force more to someone starting or moving to a new dance school. The sense of community is amazing and I genuinely look forward to coming to dance now. Thank you so much!”

“Great service. I was looking for a digital piano upgrade and They had a good range, including most higher end models. David was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and I was given all the time I wanted to try with no pressure. Delivery and installation was seamless and I’m delighted with my new Yamaha Clp-785. David also provides a great after-sales service and is happy to follow up on any technical queries, which is very useful given the huge range of functions on these pianos. Many thanks!”

“I absolutely love taking classes with Edd. He makes each session fun, supportive, and empowering. His lessons are well-structured, and I highly recommend his classes, especially if you're new to pole dancing and want to start on the right foot.”
