Tattooing in Manchester

“Quality guy, Liam. Love me tattoo mate see you again very soon”

“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.”

“Amazing tattoos and great experience overall, amazing staff”

“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.”

“Bold Street Tattoo in Warrington is a top-notch studio known for its skilled artists and diverse tattoo styles. With a focus on client satisfaction and creativity, it's a go-to destination for high-quality tattoo artistry in a welcoming environment.”

“Mike is a true professional and patient guy who did a very good job on my neck and arm so much so I have booked in for a full day.”

“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!”

“Great artist, booked me in last minute for a small tattoo, friendly, lovely clean and professional studio, can't recommend enough! Thank you”

“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”

“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.”

“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!”

“Great place Ged's work is mind blowing, couldn't be happier. Wouldn't go anywhere else now”

“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?””

“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”

“Had 17 tattoos so far from here and am obsessed with all of them, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Kieran smashes my tattoos never had a problem with any of them. Always get compliments and refer people to him as I know they wouldn’t be disappointed.”

“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!”

“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!!”

“Been there more than a few times and everyone in there is professional and their work is amazing. I had James ( big man ) best tattoo artist in my opinion. Clean and understanding too.”

“My daughter had her ears pierced here last week. Service was fab, kept her calm and she actually didn't even notice the needle was in her ear. Healing well with no discomfort.”

“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.”

“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!”
