Unique tattoo studios in Manchester

“The kids at apollo are awesome. Heidi has done the majority of my tattoos now and I am obsessed with them all.i always get complimented on how well the ink still looks years later.quality is amazing..absolutely cant fault them! The pain's worth the laughs and quality tattoos of course.”

“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.”

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.”

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.

“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.”
