Premier tattoo studio in Manchester

“It was an amazing experience. I got my first tattoo here and it came out beautifully. Emma was so nice with me and talked me through the process, which helped with the nerves. Paul makes nice tea too :). Highly recommend if you want to get any tattoos done”

“Amazing tattoo shop, friendly and welcoming :) Me and my mother in law walked in enquiring about a little sentimental tattoo shes been after for a while, within 15 mins she was seated and was being tattooed(she loved her tattoo), it was such a lovely environment and everyone was so nice to talk to xxx”

“I cannot recommend this studio highly enough. I had my first “proper” tattoo done by Mark Armstrong 21 years ago and since then have had numerous tattoos done by Big Gaz (Gary Bevan). I visited Third Light Tattoo for the first time today and am exceptionally pleased with the work done by Gaz.”

“I couldn't recommend Masquerade Tattoo enough, Mel's work is unreal. Through the booking and design process to the end result it was a great experience. Very warm and welcoming. Mel must have a very delicate touch as my sessions with her were the least pain I have ever experienced in the chair which is just a bonus. 10/10”

“Thanks Dai so so happy with my tattoo today and can say I really enjoyed the experience time flew by love love love it ❤️”

“This is the second time I had a tattoo done by Mim and i can wholeheartedly say she is the best! From helping me with the design to being precise and exceptional at the execution of it. Mim was gentle and kind and very reassuring. She put me at ease and it was fun experience.”

“I made a last minute appointment with Ailsa, she did a reworking of a tattoo I really hated and I love it now and also designed a small tattoo for me. I am always nervous going to a new city and new artist but Ailsa and the whole team made me feel so comfortable and like I was among friends. I’d definitely go again and had an amazing experience.”

“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.”

“Wes at Inklusive is great, he was really patient with me and advised on the best options based on what I wanted to do with the design. I would definitely recommend him!”

“Tony did a brilliant job on my new tattoo. Looks even better than I expected. Would Definitely recommend.”

“This is the only place I will go now. Amazing tattoo I'm so happy with it. Really friendly relaxed environment and max is sound. Would recommend this to anyone. Booking my next one in straight away.”

“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.”

“Tattoos by Nic is the Only place we as a family will go, in our opinion Nic is the best tattooist locally, by far!!!! She has gone above & beyond, opened up one sat just for me & my sister. Made lots of money for the Manchester bee appeal!! Tattoo wise, wow, the intricate details she does are amazing. My hubby has a full back piece, American Indians,detail is amazing!! Come up with an idea & Nic will draw it, FANTASTIC See you soon Nic XxxxxxxX”

“Tattoo baby has such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Amy's work is incredible. Always open to new ideas and so supportive! Had tattoos and piercings done with her and won't go anywhere else.”

“Got an amazing, colour tattoo. It was a great and really professional experience. The space felt safe as well as clean and hygienic. Would recommend”

“Second time visiting over two years. Highly professional, patience and understanding. Both times, I've been with Wayne and just puts you at rest, gives you your freedom for what you want, but also has that artistic flair to come with amazing ideas, that will, discuss with you first. No pressure at any time”

“sam has been doing my sleeve over past year and he's the absolute best at what he does, from making you feel 100% comfortable to helping with the design come to life, i wouldn't go anywhere else for tattoos now”

“Hope has done all of my tattoos and I adore them. My first tattoo she designed with very little prompt and nailed it. She made me feel very comfortable and I didn’t hesitate in contacting her for my second tattoo. I lost someone and wanted a tattoo in memory of them and she fit me in short notice and opened early to get it done for me. She really goes above and beyond!”

“Turned up begging for help as my original piercer put too short a bar in my ear and the swelling was agony. Lee was calm, friendly and changed my bars effortlessly. Really appreciated the help and would happily return for a tattoo! Smart, clean and quality service- what more could you ask for?”

“Fitted me in really quickly, speedily assessed my needs, options, and budget. Superb job of work for not a lot of money.Thanks Joe, top job”

“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.”

“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! :)”

“Attended The Viper Pit this morning for a piercing and met Chris who immediately put me at ease. He was relaxed and professional throughout which made the experience such a pleasant one. He explained all aspects of the procedure right through to the aftercare. Fantastic experience and I would highly recommend Chris and his team for any work you need doing. Thanks Chris.”

“10/10 every time! Such a welcoming and relaxed space, Joe and Mol are the people you want to be tattooing you!”

“sam did my tattoo on my rib today and i can honestly say he’s one of the funniest people i’ve ever met isn’t an understatement he made me feel welcome since the minute i walked in and instantly calmed my nerves with how chatty he was. if your going for your first tattoos id really recommend going to him as you feel instant comfort and relief the minute you walk in. Thank you!”
