“Absolutely lovely staff had good crack and very friendly people, good atmosphere playing bangers. Love my tattoo and my boyfriend loves his to couldn’t thank them enough !!”

“Amazing studio to be in, all the artists are easy to talk to and make you feel comfortable. I have been using 1st edition since the day it opened and had numerous tattoos done by resident artist Danny if I could rate 1st edition higher than 5⭐ I would.”

“Had my first professional tattoo here today with Harley. He did everything to make me feel comfortable and did an amazing job on the tattoo. If I could rate it 6 stars I would. I would recommend anyone looking to get a first tattoo to come here.”

“Awesome tattoo studio, quality service with great staff! Highly recommended Three great artists who's portfolios speak for themselves! The best tattoo creativity I've seen. Check them out, absolute quality”

“Found this tucked away place while I was looking for ear piercing and didn't want to go to a High Street store. Nat is so friendly and welcoming. I was a bit nervous and she was really quick and professional. Did a great job and went back for more piercings. I don't think I've finished yet. Will definitely be returning.”

“My first visit here for my latest Tattoo, what an amazing experience, my appointment was with artist Frank, who went through the detail of my chosen Tattoo ( our Pet Cocker Spaniel ) from start to finish this was a pleasurable experience. Would certainly recommend and definitely return for further body art. The other tattooists are friendly, their catalogue of previous work is available to view online, very experienced, clean and knowledgeable, excellent location in the heart of Tyldesley.”

“Ellie is a great tattooiest . Does fantastic work especially her dotwork She is very kind and helpful. Always happy to help”

“Really good shop. Great artists who were really helpful with what I wanted. Very clean bright shop, already booked my next one in.”

“This was my second visit 10 years apart. I lost my mum and dad nearly two years ago in the space of 3 months of them both . So I had a special tribute tattoo that I wanted for them both . Lee and Faye completed between them and did an amazing job which my mum and dad would have been proud. Thank you again Tony”

“Please don't listen to the women below. I have no idea what she is on about.. The women below was filming and by the request of the owner was asked not too!!. This comment is totally unfounded. I have been getting my tattoos and piercings from there for a long time now and have never had any problems what so ever. The art work of the tattoos is second to none. I searched for a long time to find someone that can give a decent tattoo that you could really call a tattoo!!. Many customers that I have talked to at shop who have also have had tattoos here.. have been over the moon with their tattoos and return to have more art work done on many occasions . The owner works with you to Find and create the desired tattoo. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. And just to let you lot reading this.. The Owner has on many occasions when I have been waiting to have have my art work done and waiting in line..has pierced many kids ears in a very relaxed way, with no problems what so ever.. So if you really really want fantastic art work on your body.. I would seriously recommend coming here.. and don't believe the bullshit! ! And as for the owner not being qualified to Pierce ... many people I know have come here to get pierced!! Me included!!.. and their are certificates up on the wall prove this.. you don't get these if you can't pierce!!. It costs money to be registered and qualified. So once again.. don't judge by one unjustified comment.”

“Recently had my nose pierced with Hayley. Very professional and sterile when doing the piercings. Very informative with how to keep it clean and dos and donts! But also extremely friendly and very easy to chat to. Will 100% be back for more piercings and have recommended her to everyone I know wanting a piercing”

“Couldn’t have asked for a better experience, Kyle was helpful and professional. The studio is very clean, obviously the standard of work is second to none, as well as the aftercare. Couldn’t be happier with my tattoo and just wanted to say thank you to Kyle for being so caring during the session. Highly recommend 10/10”

“Had tattoos from several artists now and cannot recommend highly enough. There's someone in there for everyone, regardless of style you want and you will not meet a nicer bunch of people. All incredibly passionate, friendly and engaging. Will always recommend.”

“Had such a lovely experience here getting tattooed by Grace! The studio is really cute inside, very clean and welcoming. All the artists here are super friendly and talented everyone was chatting and laughing during our session, just a really great vibe! Easy to find too, great location for anyone travelling into the city by train, I’ll definitely be back! ❤️”

“Got my bridge pierced today by Tae- most thoughtful and caring piercer I have ever been to, made me feel comfortable and safe and the process was done extremely thoroughly. Can’t recommend them enough!!”

“I was made to feel so welcome and had half a sleeve done here. Would defo recommend and will be going back for the rest of my tatoos here.”

“I got a small job done here yesterday, not only is the piece perfect, but the staff are wonderful people.”

“cover almost impossible for other tattoo artists , too happy with the result, it is beautiful Excellent place , everything very clean and professional definitely super recommended thank you very much .”

“Great tattoo shop, great artists.GUY is fantastic.”

“Dempsey tattooed both me and my fiancee today and we couldn't be happier with the result! We would travel all the way from north of Norway again just to get another one done by her. Thanks for the incredible art and for making the moment of getting my first tattoo just absolutely fantastic!”

“I had an idea in my head that I wanted self harm scars covered up for a while with a tattoo and I wanted the tattoo to have meaning to my mental health battle too. I went in to give an idea of what I wanted and Chloe has absolutely smashed it out of the park. Whilst Chloe mainly specialises in more none text base pieces (art work etc), she still does an incredible job with text based pieces and having 0 clue with how I wanted my piece to look, her creativity meant I didn't have to worry whatsoever. I have a great piece now and I'm looking forward to going back to get the next details added to it. The owner of the studio Ash is a legend too and both are great to chat to and have a laugh with. Ash also does some incredible pieces and I could recommend either Ash or Chloe to anyone.”

“Always wanted a tattoo researched for years pondering and I knew I wanted louis molloy to do the work. 100 percent happy with louis the dedication to the craft and artwork he produces is top notch. Customer for life. Todd”

“I was searching from previous 11 months for a perfect haircut and eyebrows shape … came from Pakistan .. tried 2 3 places but not satisfied then one of my friend told me about the Kiran at primark .. I went there and literally she solved all my problems .. gave me a look I was craving for..she is amazing.. you can trust her skills blindly… also she is very kind and understanding..”

“I had this done here it was a really good experience I love the tattoo it is absolutely spot on. I would recommend it and I will definitely be going back for my next one.”

“Lively, fun, friendly and professional studio, just as you’d expect. After all it is a tattoo studio and not a morgue! Lydia did an amazing job of my tattoo as usual. Would recommended both the studio and artist to anyone!”

“Been for a few tats here, always great work, comfortable atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. Would Highley recommend to anyone looking for a first tattoo and even experienced tattoo receivers. All work is to high quality and ink is good quality too, colours last and do not fade. Overall best tattoo parlour ive been to and will not be changing anytime soon”

“I wouldn't go anywhere else for any of my Ink. I have been tattooed by 3 of the artists here now, which is almost 2 sleeves, a large back piece and a decent size tattoo on my leg. I can't fault anything on any of them. All the staff are very clean and hygienic, and absolutely brilliant at what they do. Excellent for custom work and portraits. I recommend them very highly to all my friends and family”

“Amazing Massage from Julie, very relaxing. Lovely woman very easy to talk to no awkwardness 100% recommend and will be back. Thank you!”

“I have been visiting Tibor at the North of Winter studio for a few months now. We have been working on some new tattoos and reworking some of my old work from 20+ years ago. Tibor is professional, Friendly and very easy to get along with. He has some amazing ideas about how things will look and gives great advice on what he thinks will and won’t work. I am over the moon with the work Tibor has already done for me and look forward to much more!”

“Excellent quality tattoos. Reasonable rates and friendly tattooist with lots of experience. I would recommend Brandz”
