Unique style expression in London

“i had my first tattoo done by tao and it was such a great experience. so kind and patient the whole time. feeling really happy with it and will be coming back soon!”

“Had an appointment today for a lobe piercing for my eldest child and Kaia was incredible. My child is autistic and Kaia made them feel so at ease, provided a basket of sensory toys for the piercing and chatted to them about every aspect in a way they could understand, giving them full autonomy over the experience. The shop was wonderfully eclectic and calming, cannot thank them enough for the experience today. Will return in future.”

“Absolutely amazing … Unique design created from a photo and transferred as a tattoo into arm. One of the best real life tattoos I’ve seen. Both Chris and Esther are extremely knowledgeable and happy to share info and offer ideas and assistance. Would 100% recommend and will definitely visit again.”

“I had the absolute best experience getting my nose pierced! Christina and another lovely lady was doing it and it was incredibly delicate and gentle. Honestly, I barely felt a thing. They made the whole process feel calm, safe, and actually kind of fun (who knew a tiny needle could be so stress-free?). If you’re thinking about getting a nose piercing, do yourself a favour and go here. You’ll leave with a sparkling new accessory and a big smile!”

“George is a true master of his craft and I am blown away by the quality and detail of the Japanese style tattoo he has done for me , he is a tattoo living legend and all round top bloke.and would not hesitate to recommend, after previous bad experiences with other tattooists I would not go anywhere else now , five stars from me ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐”

“Been going here for years. Great customer service and amazing artwork. Laura is always friendly, accommodating and professional. Highly recommended.”

“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. The piercer was obviously really knowledgable and talked me and an apprentice through everything she was doing. Can’t wait to go back and get some more work done, firm 10/10!”

“The person who helped me was so kind and accommodating to my needs. They gave me some great advice for my swollen piercing (not done here) and changed it to a longer bar. I had a great experience :)”

“Had 2 small tattoo’s done today which I’m over the moon with, by RJ, he was so friendly and helpful with getting the size and detail of the tattoo’s right for me, studio was very clean and a pleasant environment to be in, will definitely be going back to him again and will recommend him to friends 5 ⭐️”

“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.”

“Had several pieces done by Andy. An amazing artist with a great eye for colour and detail leading to fantastic tattoos. Great studio, very clean and professional. Great prices and really convienient appointments. Cannot recommend highly enough.”

“Yesterday me and a friend went here and had pericings what a great experience massively recommend. amazing environment very clean felt so safe. I have told 5 people already that now want pericings or tattoo after looking at the work that they are so talented at. THANK YOU SO MUCH I am so so happy.”

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

“Kidkaeno made two girls Happy today☺️. Professional and welcoming. Very satisfied of our tattoos. Raccomanded!!”

“Absolutely amazing experience! Annabel made me feel comfortable from start to finish and really listened to what I wanted. The design came out even better than I imagined — clean lines, great detail, super professional, friendly, and talented. I’ll definitely be coming back for my next piece!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Found Wandas through one of their artists, Jay. Got my third tattoo done by him, always an amazing experience with Jay. Super super super talented, friendly and professional. The space is really great and all the staff are very welcoming and charismatic. Cant wait to come back. Thank you so much!”

“Jason is such a knowledgeable and professional artist, this was my second visit to him and my first at his new location. The experience from booking, design, right through to aftercare is first class and leaves you with complete confidence that you are in the right hands. The vibes were so relaxing and welcoming. I could have happily sat for twice the amount of time that I did. I can't recommend Jason highly enough, a truly gifted artist leaving such a lasting impression on anyone lucky enough to spend time with him. Thank you, I'll be back.”

“I've had 3 tattoos done at Skunx, two by Milan and one by Eva. They are both great artists, and I've had so many compliments on the dramatic tiger stripes that Milan did for me! The atmosphere at the studio is relaxed and friendly, and each time I was tattooed, the artists made me feel comfortable. I was very fussy about getting the designs perfectly positioned before they started inking, but both Milan and Eva were very patient and didn't make me feel rushed even though the positioning process took a long time. It's very important to these artists that their clients are 100% satisfied with their work. I would highly recommend them to others.”

“Myself, missus and twin babies stopped by Southgate Tattoo and piercing studio today and had an amazing experience. Amazingly friendly staff, and high quality artists. We had a piercing and a tattoo each today, both of which were very comfortable experiences and the guys were even happy for us to wait in the warm reception area, which we appreciated. Overall they were very accommodating in all aspects and we’d not hesitate to revisit them in the future for their good vibes and of course exceptional standard of work. Thanks guys, was great to meet you all. Arg’s”

“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!”

“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.”

“Been coming here for months now , I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Dan has designed my sleeve and I am extremely happy with it. The tattoo technique and art is amazing ! Alex is great to , amazing colour work. I am certainly a loyal customer. Highly recommended for first tattoos and tattoos in general. Thank you for everything ☺️”

“I got this tattoo from Tate while visiting London from the United States. The whole process was wonderful. She altered the design, which I initially picked from her flash, to perfectly fill the gap area on my arm. She thought about the placement of the leaves and the flow of it so completely and the result was better than I could have imagined. I have received so many compliments on the beauty of this tattoo. The shop was cute, clean, and felt so relaxing. I highly recommend the Lost Fox and Tate for a tattoo!”
