Tattoo shop in Norwich

“Just had my 4th tattoo done with pauly, never in doubt absolutely smashed it. Great studio to go too and always a good laugh. Had my first tattoo done by Perry who’s also very talented. Can’t wait to get more!”

“A really comforting and friendly experience for my first tattoo. All the staff clearly have passion and pride in their art and I am ecstatic with the tattoo that Emma produced for me.”

“Amazing tattooists with brilliant designs at great prices, each member of staff so welcoming. I leave fully satisfied everytime. Highly recommend!!”

“I had my first tattoo with Teal and she was AMAZING! The studio was so relaxed, bright and welcoming. Couldn’t recommend lemon head more!”

“I came here for my first tattoo and am really really happy. Shana was helpful, responsive and friendly during the design process and I couldn't have been treated better on the day. Really nice, relaxed atmosphere in the shop and the work was done to a very high standard. Very impressed.”

“Went to Black Plague today for the first time and had an amazing experience. I met lovely Mia, who did my tattoo. She was so easy to talk to and super professional & talented. Her design was beautiful and exactly what I wanted. The studio had an amazing atmosphere and was incredibly sanitary. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and I’ll 100% be returning to get more work done by Mia! Thank you!”

“I’ve been coming to Ed for nearly nine years now. I started going to him when he was based in London, and love his work so much that I now travel up to Norwich just to get tattooed by him. Totally worth the trip! He’s an incredibly talented artist and super creative. He is really patient and takes the time to talk through ideas with you and make sure you’re happy and comfortable. He’s really gentle on your skin and his work heals and lasts beautifully. Ed also has a great skill for placement – he’s so good at making his tattoos flow with the lines of your body and I always have people comment on how nicely placed his pieces are. And The Hermit is a gorgeous shop, friendly and calm atmosphere and a clean and beautiful space. 100% recommend.”

“Beautiful tattoo from Gaby. A totally wonderful experience. Friendly and professional. Listened to my requirements and did an excellent job. Very pleased with results.”

“I’ve been getting tattoo’d by Will for about 5 years now, his work is stellar and second to none in his field!”

“Travelled up from Billericay Essex to find these guys & girls, and I'd most certainly do it again. An addition to my original tattoo. Faye, Thankyou so so much x”

“What an absolute talented tattoo artist. Having several tattoos from different shops over the country this has been by far the best one yet. Stan and his incredible shop and team from the offset make you feel welcome and listened to on what you have as you vision for your next tattoo. I gave Stan a brief on what I wanted and he excelled before anything I could have thought. I will be going back for many more and I couldn’t recommend him more if I tried. The shop also offers other treatments which is a real added bonus. Thank you again for a work of art! Until the next one”

“Had several tattoos done here now. Great service and price, the only place I'll go.”

“My 9 year old autistic son had his ear pierced here. The guy was fantastic with him, very calm patient and explained everything too him. My son felt at ease and was very happy with his new earring. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much”

“Brilliant independant tattoo shop that I hope to visit again in the future. Walked out with a tattoo I absolutely love and came out better than I imagined. Can’t thank Matt enough for his professionalism and hospitality through the process.”

“Went for first Tattoo was nervous as it was a large piece that took 5 hours but my nerves were soon put to rest with a warming chilled atmosphere. So happy with the final product that I will be returning soon for more Adrian is a great artist and tattooist as well as great human. Highly recommend that if your looking for a good tattoo studio and artist go to forever inked.”

“Thora did my first tattoo, made me feel so comfortable and explained everything to me as she was doing it! I was nervous about how it was going to feel and didn’t want to flinch with the ink and ruin my tattoo, she then lightly drew a line on my arm no ink and it felt fine so we continued! Fell in love with my tattoo that we ended up doing another one the same day, truly cannot recommend her enough!! She’s extremely kind and the whole tattoo room is clean and very calm to be in”

“Had this lovely man do some great tattoos on me. Very pleased with his work & would highly recommend.”

“I recently had my eyebrows treated and I am delighted with the outcome. I can fully endorse the positive reviews from other clients regarding the professional attitude and the quality of the work. My visit was comfortable, and the final result met all my expectations. Every detail was discussed thoroughly, and a preview was provided to demonstrate the anticipated effect. I have experienced no issues thus far and eagerly anticipate my upcoming touch-up session. Thank You! :)”

“The tattoos that I had from here were top notch full of detail and very precise. I went in with my own design and they produced the exact same figure on my back with addition finishing touches recommended by them and it worked very well. The actual place is very clean and run very well they take pride in their business and it shows. Thanks for the top notch services Maggie”

“Popped in with my daughter for a small matching tattoo, straight in filled forms in and had our tattoos, the staff were friendly and chatty which was nice, the apprentices were really nice and after chatting with them (some fantastic work from them both !)I’m booked in for a leg piece!! Definitely recommend a visit if your planning a tattoo lots of scope to get what you want here”

“Had 5 full day sessions with Abbie to complete my design. For my first tattoo experience she was wonderful. The studio doesn’t make you feel intimidated as a new customer at all. All the artists are extremely friendly and kind. It’s refreshing to see a workplace where people actually get on and interact with each other nicely. Abbie is an artist first, then a tattooist, her talent to make an idea/vision a reality is astounding. The effort and detail she put into my tattoo is unreal. She is so warm and chatty, it is easy to spend the day with her. People compliment my tattoo all the time, as they should, she is incredible. Thank you to everyone at Hollowbones for making my experience great, but mostly Abbie for creating a masterpiece.”

“Firstly the place is really clean and looks great inside which is always reassuring. Staff are really friendly and helpful. The tattoo itself is brilliantly done and to my amazement healed (flaking naturally came off) in just over a week (I have previously been a slow healer so I can only put this down the the care of the tattooist, Shane) will definitely be having all my tattoos here in future and would recommend to anyone”

“Had my first tattoo done here by Ani. Incredibly helpful and professional from start to finish. Studio is clean and a lovely beautiful space to be in, just lovely vibes all round. Also axolotls make anywhere better.”

“Me and my partner got tattoos on the same day, all the staff were really nice and friendly. Really down to earth and offered us drinks and made sure we were happy and comfortable with everything. The tattoos done by Ellen that we got are super cool and very well done and detailed. We both left feeling really pleased with everything and the service we had received there, we would both definitely go back for more tattoos :)”

“Jules was so friendly and read my mind- the tattoos were exactly what i’d been envisioning!! will definitely be coming back ”

“Quality speaks for itself, Dave did a great job and I will be going again for more!”

“Very understanding, precise and great work. I knew exactly what I wanted but he double checked with me, showing other options. My first and my only tattoo, for personal reasons. I'm really happy with the finished work.”

“Had an existing tattoo touched up by Dave, did exactly what I asked for, will be going back.”

“Mark did great work in a clean establishment. Prices are cheap compared to American prices. The knight was a cover up that turned out great. Currently waiting for chair time to have a background put on. Plan on waiting for custom work as slots are hard to find. They are busy.”
