I highly recommend Stone Heart Tattoos. I shall be returning in the near future.”

“I have been going to Kadie for tattoos regularly for a number of years now. Not only is she welcoming and comforting she is also perfectly professional and so incredibly talented. She has designed me many amazing pieces and I will be going back for many more. She has also done my eyebrows which I am really pleased with especially as I don’t have to think about them at all anymore”

“Wish I could give a place 6 stars! Will be coming back here to get all future piercings. Had Val as my piercer and she was efficient, confident, and clearly extremely skilled as they were the smoothest and fastest piercings I've ever had done. She was also so so friendly. The studio was clean, really nicely lit, and the prices so good I've been telling anyone who will listen. I really recommend.”

No pressure at any time”

“Mac did a really great job updating my old tattoo. The lines had become blurry and I wanted colour putting in, he did the whole lot in one session.. my dragon came to life and had never looked better :) he’s also a nice person who I felt comfortable with, and the place itself is comfortable and hygienic.”

“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?””

“Great vibes. I haven't had my nails done in years. Meliza made me feel really welcome and chatted with me through the options. I went for a builder gel with nail art, she did an amazing job. I absolutely love them. I've already booked in for my next set :)”

“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! :)”

I’m absolutely over the moon with what Karl has done, an amazing tattooist and what a great guy”

“I have been to the shop multiple times (about 6 now) and every time Ashy has been supportive, helpful, and extremely thorough. Her work is exceptionally detailed and I am never not surprised by the quality of work that she does. The shop feels open and fun, all of the artists are really approachable and the shop has never not been pristine. A* work and I couldnt rate them higher, thanks for all of your work so far on my arms and I have no doubt I will be back soon”

First impressions when you walk in is that the place was so clean and tidy, nice and warm, very welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I've been in many a tattoo place and I will be booking in again soon . By the order of my mother as she loved the tattoo on me . Haha . Thanks Mark for your amazing work we absolutely love my new tattoo . Tina xx”

“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!”
