“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.”

“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.”

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.”

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.

“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.”
