Unique personalized tattoos in Manchester

“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?””

“Visited The Painted Man today for my first tattoo. After a bit of research I found Meg (lou.loutattoo) & absolutely loved her work. We messaged a few times & agreed on this design & I’m so happy with it. She is so approachable & made sure I was 100% happy with her design before we started. I’ve had a blast today, the hours flew by as she worked her magic. The studio is such a relaxing place to be. Incredibly clean & professional. Everyone is so friendly, defo recommend the studio, & Meg in particular”

“I couldn’t be happier with my new tattoo! The studio had such a welcoming and clean atmosphere. Anna was not only talented but also incredibly professional and patient. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality work, a clean studio, and an artist who genuinely loves what they do.”

“Great experience! Dave at tattoo studio 150 was very welcoming and very professional. Talked me through my design and my stencil and what fits best placement wise , mine was my arm. Matching up to around previous tattoos and covering up some scars :) the design is amazing as you can see from the pictures below! The placement is perfect and wasn’t rushed in order to get the best look. Breaks were taken inbetween if needed and even has a tub of sweeties to get your sugars back up! Overall 10/10 experience and I will be back for more! I recommend highly for any tattoo very very talented artist! Thankyou so much for giving me this beautiful tattoo! :)”

Her work is exceptionally detailed and I am never not surprised by the quality of work that she does.

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.

“Best tattoo shop this side of Manchester. The attention to detail in each tattoo is awesome. They are so professional in the way they treat you, offering refreshments the minute you walk in. Lovely atmosphere, great people, lovely parlor; they also remove tattoos. But all in all, a fantastic place to get a tattoo. Four or five people are available by appointment only; I don't think they do walk-ins.”

The studio is clean and has a relaxed atmosphere, everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Matt is a brilliant artist, he’s very professional, nothing is too much to ask. He’s thorough with design, placement and in his work in general, clearly having a passion for what he does.
