Body piercing in Manchester

“Full disclosure: I am not a customer. With that being said,… This establishment is made with love, passion, blood, sweat, and determination that came from its owner, Jori Lakars, aka Hott Mama, aka The Mama who always gave herself goals and standards that benefited the world to the fullest and implemented the highest standards possible. A quick glance at her path shows that she has been successful in the industry well known in a way that the number of 5 reviews or social media followers will not reflect. I met her personally only once before she moved to England about 17 years ago. She was working in a popular tattoo shop in Wicker Park that I won’t name. ( if you know, you know) the had long ravenous hair and substantially fewer tattoos. Although I had met many women who were in the industry, few were celebrated by their peers. The shop posted a large banner in the front window that said ‘we have a female tattoo artist.’ I had never seen that before even in a liberal city like Chicago. Soon after that, every shop in the area had at least one ‘female.’ She went on to work at many of the best rated shops and worked on the best artists in the business as clients. When she moved, we were sad yet proud to see that she was following her passion overseas. She would wonder up one of the top artists anywhere she worked. She finally got her own place and put every ounce of work into it. Sadly, she had just acquired two young brilliant talents just recently. A couple of weeks ago, she passed away in a car accident without any warning. I t is a shock that she is gone and her energy is eternally resting. I have known her half of my life and I have never known anyone like her. A true inspiration and individual person who is driven to create. If you are lucky enough to have had a moment with her, you know what I mean. Love to her local community from Chicago. We were all lucky enough to be together for as long as we could,…… Cheers to Jori.”

“Chris is a great guy, very interesting to talk to and a highly skilled artist. You can tell he loves his work and I'm extremely happy with what he did for me.

“Maisie is a wonderful tattoo artist, so easy to get along with whilst maintaining a high level of professionalism. She was very accommodating to my needs of frequent breaks and even offered me cups of tea. The result of my tattoo was even better than what I had originally imagined. 6 months on, my tattoo still looks just as amazing. I could not be more happier with the result. I highly recommend Stone Heart Tattoos. I shall be returning in the near future.”

She has designed me many amazing pieces and I will be going back for many more. She has also done my eyebrows which I am really pleased with especially as I don’t have to think about them at all anymore”

“I recently got my old and faded tattoos of Superman and Wonder Woman re-done by Holly, and I absolutely love them! Holly was so friendly and welcoming, and she took the time to understand what I wanted and how I wanted it to look. The tattoo itself is absolutely stunning. Holly's work is incredibly detailed, and the colors are vibrant and alive. I love how she captured the characters. I would highly recommend Holly to anyone looking for a new tattoo. She is a talented artist with a great eye for detail. She is also very friendly and patient, and she will make sure that you are happy with your tattoo. I would definitely get another tattoo from Holly in the future. In fact I'm already booked it for my next one! She is a talented artist who I trust to create a beautiful and lasting tattoo.”

“Got my first ever tattoo with Paulina!! Fine line and on the crease of my arm, I genuinely can't believe how legible it was (considering how small and fine it is!!). The studio was very clean and welcoming , and Paulina was very gentle and made me feel at ease. Thank you!!”

“Super professional and friendly with incredible attention to detail and hygiene including proper, correct after care information leaflet to takeaway. Communication was clear and prompt when arranging the appointment. Couldn't be happier with my new ink and will definitely be going back for all future tattoos. Artwork examples and previous designs on the walls are INSANE”

“5⭐ only because it won't let me leave more. After attending various conventions to select an artist, Arrons style, design, approach and experience stood out as head and shoulders better than anyone else I was considering. At time of this review I'm 75% through my second full sleeve with Arron. His work is absolutely unbelievable and I can't stop catching glimpses of my new tattoos whenever I walk past mirrors.”

“The shop has a relaxed atmosphere and is very welcoming. Both artists are top notch. I have specifically been visiting Chardaine for a number of years and she is fantastic, takes onboard your ideas and is very creative. Within the last year we have been working on a full sleeve, I had a few ideas but she elevated these to an artistic level I’m not capable of and by putting my trust in her I’ve ended up with a sleeve which I LOVE.”

“Quality guy, lovely studio and amazing results, couldn’t recommend enough. Went for a revamp on an existing tattoo, Lou not only made it come alive, he made me like the tattoo again after falling out of love with it. Went back and he created unique, intricate and top notch pieces for me with people asking “where did you go for that?””

“Visited The Painted Man today for my first tattoo. After a bit of research I found Meg (lou.loutattoo) & absolutely loved her work. We messaged a few times & agreed on this design & I’m so happy with it. She is so approachable & made sure I was 100% happy with her design before we started. I’ve had a blast today, the hours flew by as she worked her magic. The studio is such a relaxing place to be. Incredibly clean & professional. Everyone is so friendly, defo recommend the studio, & Meg in particular”

“Great vibes. I haven't had my nails done in years. Meliza made me feel really welcome and chatted with me through the options. I went for a builder gel with nail art, she did an amazing job. I absolutely love them. I've already booked in for my next set :)”

“I couldn’t be happier with my new tattoo! The studio had such a welcoming and clean atmosphere. Anna was not only talented but also incredibly professional and patient. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality work, a clean studio, and an artist who genuinely loves what they do.”

“Guy did a tattoo for me on Friday. Lovely man and the tattoo is exceptional. All the staff are friendly and very welcoming. Definitely recommend”

“Great experience! Dave at tattoo studio 150 was very welcoming and very professional. Talked me through my design and my stencil and what fits best placement wise , mine was my arm. Matching up to around previous tattoos and covering up some scars :) the design is amazing as you can see from the pictures below! The placement is perfect and wasn’t rushed in order to get the best look. Breaks were taken inbetween if needed and even has a tub of sweeties to get your sugars back up! Overall 10/10 experience and I will be back for more! I recommend highly for any tattoo very very talented artist! Thankyou so much for giving me this beautiful tattoo! :)”
