Tattoo studio experience in Manchester

“I’ve been a few times for tattoos now, and the service is always excellent! Super friendly staff, chill welcoming atmosphere, and Jonah is more than happy to draw up amazing custom tattoos as well as offer nifty little flash pieces too! Definitely a happy and returning customer ”

“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”

“What a fabulous artist! I took my 82 year old friend for her very first tattoo. She was doing this to raise money for the Royal British Legion Women's Section. Colin decided not to charge her, draw up a tattoo based on her design, constantly put her mind at ease an reassured her, discussing anything to take her mind off the possible pain. My friend said it did not hurt at all. I can't recommend Colin's work enough. A total professional, a fabulous artist and a kind and generous man. He is a credit to his profession and to humanity in general. I am planning on going back and driving more than 1 hour to visit his home and studio.”

“Awesome place to have gone to get my next tattoo rob and Ruth are so welcoming and make you feel at ease. Also lee at the front on reception is polite and even makes you coffee which I wasn’t expecting. Thanks again for the amazing piece of work you have done rob hope you enjoyed it doing as much I’m enjoying the look of it see you guys again for sure for my next project :) Darryl”

“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.”

“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.”

“Amy is amazing. Her tattoos are second to none and can't recommend her enough!”

“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!”

“I Went to matt for my first ever tattoo. He was brilliant throughout the whole day. He also give lots of good info on aftercare to make sure my tattoo all healed perfect. You will struggle to find a better artist for price and quality of work. The shop as a whole has a brilliant atmosphere and is always a good laugh. I have now almost finished a full leg sleeve off and couldn’t recommend him more. Get booked in you wont regret it.”

“I have been to the shop multiple times (about 6 now) and every time Ashy has been supportive, helpful, and extremely thorough. Her work is exceptionally detailed and I am never not surprised by the quality of work that she does. The shop feels open and fun, all of the artists are really approachable and the shop has never not been pristine. A* work and I couldnt rate them higher, thanks for all of your work so far on my arms and I have no doubt I will be back soon”

“I recently had the absolute pleasure of getting a tattoo from an incredible artist, and I cannot express enough how amazing the entire experience was. He was not only an exceptionally talented artist but also a genuinely great person. From the moment I stepped into the studio, I was welcomed with warmth and enthusiasm. Their passion for their craft was evident in every stroke of the needle. The level of skill and attention to detail they displayed was truly awe-inspiring. Each line, every shade, and every intricate detail were executed with absolute precision, resulting in a breathtaking masterpiece. What really made this experience unforgettable was his personality. They were not just a skilled artist but also an incredible human being. Their friendly and down-to-earth nature created an environment that instantly put me at ease. They took the time to patiently listen to my ideas and brought them to life with their artistic genius. Their ability to understand my vision and translate it into an astonishing work of art was truly remarkable. Throughout the entire process, he displayed the utmost professionalism and made sure that I was comfortable at all times. Their expertise and guidance were invaluable in helping me make decisions about the design and placement. They went above and beyond to ensure that I was completely satisfied with the final result, and I couldn't be happier with how my tattoo turned out. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you're looking for an exceptional tattoo artist who not only possesses immense talent but also radiates positivity and kindness, then look no further. He is the real deal! Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Thank you so much for an incredible tattoo and a memorable experience. You are truly one of a kind!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Just had my nose pierced today with Becca and all I can say is amazing! What a wonderful person and made me feel at ease the moment I walked through the door. Talked me through the whole process. I will definitely go back for more and also recommend her to anyone wanting a new piercing. Thank you so much Becca!”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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?”

“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”

“Hi I am Mobina. I had two minimalist tattoos done with Stephanie, and I couldn’t be happier! She is incredibly kind, professional, and talented. Her attention to detail and efficiency made the whole experience so smooth and enjoyable. In fact, it was the most relaxing tattoo session I’ve ever had! I absolutely love her work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful, delicate designs.”

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