“Dean was wonderful is taking some thought processes of mine & aiding in the creation of my own piece. He personalised something that meant a great deal making me feel completely comfortable & looked after whilst I was there. I love my piece!”

“I had the best experience working with Rhea on my very first big tattoo piece. She is the most warm and welcoming person and makes you feel right at home. I had so much fun! Her work is incredible and I could not be happier with my final piece, I never expected how beautiful it would be. I will definitely be visiting Rhea for my next piece. You are magnificent!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Wonderful experience! It was the first time getting tattoo. I was excited but also little scared as well. Now I would say I didn’t have to be afraid because staffs were really helpful, kind, and professional. I showed him a picture and he made a final design reflecting as exactly as I wanted. Tattooing process has done quickly without losing the quality. They gave me thorough instructions about the after care and what’s gonna happen in a week. This tattoo means a lot to me and tattooing experience in this place was just amazing!! I would definitely choose this place again”

“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”

“Bang on with everything. Lal and crew always creating the magic on any skin. From the consultation to the day of being inked, friendly honest and great atmosphere. No wonder why they are super booked up !! I recommend Vassy for her skills, professionalism and honesty in giving advice. The studio is clean fresh spotless made me feel really comfortable.”

“Yesterday I got my second tattoo @ I Hate Tattoos. So so so happy with the result, the staff was reaaaally kind and nice. True angels. Will definitely come back next time I need to get a tattoo in London!”

“My first tattoo experience was amazing — Jenny made everything smooth and welcoming, and Floy was so kind and talented. They both made me feel completely at ease, and I love the result!”

“5 Stars! Super friendly, great prices and all my piercings have healed beautifully. Banter is great, never gone anywhere else since I went for my first piercing in 2021. Got my eyebrow and 2nd lobes done today and the experience was just as good as any other time I've gone.”

“My second tattoo from this studio. Very happy with the detail to hygiene and extremely happy with my tattoo. Price very good as well. Will only use this studio for the next one I get.”

“Had 2 designs done by Donna and I love them. Also going back for a 3rd one in two weeks. She’s is very professional and knowledgeable. Donna makes you feel welcome and at ease as soon as you walk in. The shop is very clean and also sells other little items like crystals and jewellery. This is now my go to place for any inks and piercings. Thank you Donna.”

“My girlfriend and I decided to get tattoos while on vacation. Stopped in the Crystal Palace location and was greeted immediately. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Our Artists Eddy did a great job. He listened to what we wanted and when we came back to our appointment had great options for us to choose from. The design for my tattoo had much more detail than the initial draft. When he began to run over the time he quoted he told me I would not be charged extra. As time continued to pass he did not rush. Towards the end he even added in a few more small details and finishing touches to make it better. Through everything he was nice and very easy to talk to. His attention to detail and dedication to his art and clients is top notch. In the end I got much more than I paid for and left with amazing art. Definitely would recommend this shop if you are in the area and looking for great work in a comfortable atmosphere.”

“Had a really good experience getting my helix pierced here would highly recommend! I had a bad experience at a different studio in the past getting my helix done and was v nervous but the piercer was such a pro and the whole thing was seamless and I’m really happy with how it came out too :) would go back here for my next piercings! Thanks so much!”

“Couldn’t be more happy with all three of mine had an itch for some new ink and was beyond happy with all three of mine done. Can’t wait to go back to get more staff are so friendly and joyful to be around.”

“A quality artist and all round top bloke, if you need a tattoo you cant't go wrong with going to Jesse, he's extremely reasonably priced for the quality of work too.”

“I recently got a tattoo from Carolina, and I cannot express how grateful I am for her incredible work. When she showed me the design, I genuinely had to hold back tears. she captured my cat’s eye, fur colours and shades in a way I never could have imagined. Carolina listened to me so carefully and took all the time needed to accommodate every request. Throughout the entire process, she made me feel completely comfortable and supported. Her humanity, kindness and professionalism are truly top-notch. I’m so glad I chose her for this tattoo. I love it so much, and I’ll be forever grateful for her talent and her heart. And as a plus plus plus, the whole team is super fun and friendly! Feels like you're getting a tattoo in a friend's living room! (With sick decors!!!) Highly, highly recommended.”

“I went to get two helix piercings two weeks ago and honestly this shop is perfect. The price is really affordable for a studio of quality. Ari set me up so well, talked me through the process and was just so patient and thorough. The place was extremely well sterilized, and the piercing area was cleaned several times. The piercing is healing super well, and I love it so much. Such an amazing place with lovely staff, I 100% recommend.”

“Went to get a leopard tattoo on my ribs by Sana, I absolutely loved the experience and atmosphere of the studio, super excited to see how it heals up! Sana was super kind and patient with me when tweaking the design! So talented, will definitely be coming back for my next future tattoo! xx”

“Amazing service, design and tattoo. I couldn't be happier and would whole heartedly recommend to anybody. Will definitely be back x”

“Got my 8th tattoo done and Paul really listened to my ideas and really corporated all of them and I adore it, i love Harry Potter and i think it does justice! Thank you Paul”

“Got 2 tattoos done by Lucile yesterday. The studio is absolutely lovely—cosy, warm, and super comfortable. The artists, Lucile and Maly, are so professional and talented and make it really easy to feel comfortable there. I’ve had a few tattoos done by Lucile before when she was at another studio, so I knew the work would be amazing, but I’m truly blown away by the results. She took my idea and turned it into my dream tattoo. I truly couldn’t be happier and I recommend Lucile to anyone looking to get tattooed. She can do any style, big or tiny, and she’s super flexible. She’s honestly so talented—definitely the best artist I know!”

“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 visited Through My Third Eye last month to get tattooed by Matt. Great communication in the lead up, very reasonable deposit/final cost and a great experience on the day. Very relaxed but professional. I’m not a big talker and was feeling anxious on the day and Matt was so chill, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Now just trying to work out what I want next so I can book in again!”

“I just want to say a huge thank you to tray for the amazing tattoo! At first, when I saw the stencil, I wasn’t completely sure about it but I decided to trust the process. As he started tattooing, I began to love it more and more, and by the end, I was absolutely in love with the final result. This is honestly the best tattoo I’ve ever gotten. Tray is very skilled, professional, and genuinely cares about how you’re feeling throughout the whole session always checking if you’re okay. I actually found him randomly on the app TattooDo, and I’m so glad I trusted my instincts. His work is incredible, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I’ll definitely be coming back for more tattoos”

“I had the pleasure of getting my first tattoo done by Carter, and I couldn't be happier with the experience and the outcome. Carter's patience, expertise, and dedication to his craft were evident from start to finish. He took my idea and, using his vast knowledge and experience, elevated it to a level beyond my expectations. The attention to detail in the final piece is truly astounding. I am over the moon with how it turned out and cannot recommend Carter highly enough.”

“Amazing place helped me to make decisions about my tattoo to make it the best it could be whilst still listening to what I wanted, friendly, helpful and kind staff allowed me to come in and ask questions and see the studio before hand to help ease my worries. We're always contactable for any and all questions”

“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”

“Absolutely great process, the two owners are an excellent team and very professional. I have had tattoos from several of the team here and each time has been a great experience. HIGHLY recommend Blaec for newbies, and a great shop for people looking for their next piece”
