“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.”

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.”

“Friendly people. Did an amazing work on mine and my dad’s tattoo. I would definitely recommend to get a tattoo from them. I definitely go there again in the future”

“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”

“My girlfriend had just been for an MRI scan at the hospital and had to remove all of her ear piercings and was struggling to put them back in fearing they may had started to heal up, we just popped our heads in this shop to see if the man could give her a lift he was very friendly and promptly whisked her into his studio and easily popped them all back in When she asked how much she owed him he gave a nice smile and replied don’t worry about it which I thought was very generous and kind”

“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.”

“100% recommend this place! I’m in Manchester for uni and I was very anxious about coming to someplace new to get a piercing, however I had nothing to worry about! Everyone was friendly, helpful and professional. The studio was clean and modern. There was also plenty of choice on jewellery for my piercing. Valerie did my helix piercing efficiently and pretty much painlessly. She gave me options for the placement of my piercing which was great. She was so kind and lovely aswell. I’ll definitely be back for more!”

“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”
