“Back in the UK (my Grandmother's hometown) for the first time in 30 years. Ryan hooked me up with a little momento. Pleasant experience from the time I walked in until the time I walked out. I'll be sure to pop in again next time I find myself in Flixton.”

“Mez you did a fantastic job of revamping my old faded tattoos….initially I didn’t really know what I wanted but Mez worked with me and with his expertise and professionalism transformed them into something just magical, I’m extremely pleased with the outcome. The Tattoo Station studio is clean, comfortable, well equipped and tastefully decorated with plenty of nice pieces of art to feast your eyes on whilst being tattooed. I can highly recommend Mez’s place he’s a knowledgeable artist and would say to anyone thinking about their next piece to go there. I can confirm the whole experience was amazing from start to finish, thank you so much.”

“My husband, John has just come back from his appointment here with Dave. Wow!! Dave has done an amazing cover up on a tattoo my husband has 'put up' with for years. When he first had the old one done,it was fine, my husband was a lot younger,but over the years, it has changed so much it became an embarrassment and made him self concious. The cover up is absolutely fantastic. Thankyou Dave, another tribute to your amazing 'gift'.”

“I’ve got a good few tattoos off mark now and some are nearly 2 years old, still look like new - not faded at all! I’ve just had a tattoo done today that mark drew free hand…would recommend to everybody! Last 2 pictures are the newest one. Marks shop is always spotless every time I go in, very hygienic!”

“Well overdue and well deserved 5*! After discovering Symone via instagram, she worked with me to create my dream tattoo. Throughout the process, Symone was super responsive, providing updates along the way and always kept me in the loop with her design progress and creative ideas. The studio is gorgeous, a super relaxed space where I felt comfortable and safe. Symone answered all my (probably annoying) questions and made me feel at ease the whole time. 3 day sittings later I have a gorgeous, permanent art piece and I will be back for more. Highly recommend!”

“My daughter had her belly button pierced today with her friend Very friendly and professional would highly recommend”

“Jenna did my debut arm tat yesterday. Very relaxed studio vibe; friendly, warm, welcoming family outfit. Place was absolutely spotless and most importantly, the Dawsons are a family of incredibly skilled artists - how lucky we are to have them locally! Thrilled with my new bassoon-keywork ink - been on a high since. Jenna made sure the placement was absolutely right and the precision of the artwork itself is perfect. I can not single out one negative in the whole experience. Will definitely be back!”

“Hannah is an incredible tattooist, not only is her work amazing but she makes you feel comfortable and is easy to talk to. I've a lot of tattoos and I've now had a few done by Hannah and I always get compliments on them! I definitely won't be going to anybody else I will follow her near and far. Highly recommended.”

“Amazing place, staff are lovely and kind. I've had one of my tattoos done here and few piercings. My daughter has also had her belly and upper lobes done here and there all great. I'm going back next week to get another piercing. Nice and cheap too. Highly recommend.”

“Never been unhappy with a tattoo from Matt. Really skilled tattoo artist without the ego the majority of them carry themselves with now. Takes on board my ideas - pushes me in the right directions and nails it Everytime. I wouldn’t go anywhere else regardless of price or wait time which both are extremely reasonable. I recommend Deathstar to everyone thinking of getting tattoos.”

“I’ve been going to Blue Valentine tattoo for 2.5 years to see Sioux Tattoo. She has done the majority of my tattoos and the vibes are always on point. The art is incredible every time and i get so many compliments on them. Sioux Tattoo is literally the easiest person to spend 8 hours in pain with; the music and banter is always there. Can’t recommend enough!!”

“Went for a touch-up with junior artists simon, spoke with multiple members, was made to feel very comfortable, and felt more like hanging with friends instead of being a customer. went through design and how the day would pan out. For a junior, his work was flawless. i look forward to having more done at this studio.”

“What can I say about this place! It's an unassuming studio but once you walk in you get welcomed with an offer of a brew and made to feel comfortable from the off. I had my tattoo from laura but every artist was happy to talk and made you feel inclusive of their studio. Excellent craic, top notch artists, spotlessly clean. All round good eggs with a cracking atmosphere.”

“My experience with the Tattoo Piercing Academy, Glasgow Course 2025 was beyond what I expected. Leah made the experience fun, informative, professional and flexible. Having AuDHD would normally cause me to have a harder time learning than some of the students, but she adapted the theory and the practical in a way that helped me understand and I feel so grateful for the intensive course which once completed, made me feel ready to continue my tattoo journey safely and professionally. I made friends for life with other tattooist , which is rare. And appreciate the lifelong support I'll receive from new friends and the Academy. I would add more stars than 5 if I could because they helped me achieve a lifelong dream of becoming a tattoo artist. I will be forever grateful for the determination of the Academy to make sure I got the most out my course. Will definitely book piercing course next. Thanks Leah, you don't realise the impact you have on students and your teaching style was excellent. Thank you, Emma”
