Tattoo shop in Nottingham

“Came for my first tattoo and had a fantastic experience. Very professional throughout but also very friendly and easy to talk to! I got great advice on design and placement. Super happy! My mum also got the same great treatment when she visited so thanks again!”

“Absolutely brilliant tattoo studio. Had my first tattoo in a while, the studio was clean, bright, and very welcoming. Liggud was really friendly, and had designed my lovely new tattoo. Really love it, thank you so much!”

“My partner and I had a Pokémon “get what you get” tattoo from Ellie last week and we couldn’t have more praise for her and the work that she did. She was so lovely and we felt at ease the entire time. The tattoos are healing really well and the level of detail on them is amazing. We’re both already considering what tattoos we’re going to book in next with her :)”

“After only a few emails Micky understood exactly what I was looking for and designed a tattoo beyond my expectations. During the two sessions needed to complete the tattoo, Micky was professional all the way through and made me feel at home. I couldn’t recommend her more and will certainly be going back.”

“We recently got tattooed by Daisy at Hexafoil Tattoos, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also made us feel completely comfortable throughout the session. The studio was clean, calm, and welcoming. Daisy is a great listener and created such a relaxed atmosphere—it felt more like a conversation with a friend than a tattoo appointment. We absolutely loved the final result and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, detailed work in a professional yet warm environment.”

“Booked in with John to have a memorial tattoo done along with my aunt and my mum in remembrance of my Uncle. John was very attentive and thorough in making sure the art was right and took great care doing our tattoos. Can’t thank him enough we are all so happy with the art, highly recommend- Jade x”

“Had Ell do 2 lots of work so far and booked in for more, can not say highly enough how brilliant a place this is. My wife is now booked in for work and my brother in law has also been, if anyone asks where to get some ink done will not hesitate to recommend Vellum!”

“I had a great experience getting tattooed by Matt, he does beautiful work and was lovely to chat with. Delighted with my new pieces and I’m sure I’ll be back for more!”

“It was my first time at Sanctum. I wanted something particularly inspired in a childhood photograph to celebrate my Mother who passed away recently. Honour did an incredible job and the communication from start to finish was very professional and kind. I will definitely be returning soon.”

“Personally I love Gypsy Blood tattoo's especially from MY jade! She's incredible all my art work on my arms are fantastic attention to detail is 100% I get comments on all my tattoo's saying how fantastic they are! I won't be stopping until I've got my sleeve tattoo! I wouldn't go anywhere else because I wouldn't be able to trust anyone else! Family owned business lovely owner too! Team is great but my JADE is the best! Thankyou for all my wild tattoo's now and the future! Keep doing amazing!!”

“Got my first tattoo done by Martin. It was an absolutely amazing experience everything was prepped carefully in terms of cleanliness and he was so friendly and lovely throughout my time and explained everything clearly. Furthermore, he made sure to explain any aftercare tips and was available when I had other questions outside my appointment.”

“Absolutely go to place for my tattoos now, won’t go anywhere else. Friendly welcoming artists, always help with placement to achieve the best out come possible for you. Thanks for always giving me the best experience guys”

“I have been looking for a tattoo artist in Nottingham that can do fine line and dainty tattoos on Instagram for ages, I noticed all the ones I liked were all done by Sara! So I immediately contacted Sara asking her to do my 2nd and 3rd tattoos, by following my terrible drawings (see attached photos) she re-created some really awesome tattoos for me and I was SO HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS! Due to COVID lock-down, the shop was forced to closed and my booking was postponed for a month, but we've been having great communications throughout the whole time. I felt reassured by her great customer service and felt really welcomed when I went to the shop. I loved the interior design of the Jurassic Tattoo Company, it is very calming and aesthetically pleasing, the staff were lovely! I will definitely come back to them next time I'm having a new tattoo and I 100% recommend them!! The other artists from the shop are all brilliant too (I've been following their Instagram accounts as well). I love the whole vibe of this store!”

“What a professional, friendly, and exceptional service. Karl is an absolute star and delivered over and beyond throughout the entire process. Quick replies to my messages, fitted me in at fairly short notice. Happy with the tattoo and was super quick as well! Great pricing too!”

“Had an amazing experience at skincraft today with my daith piercing! Super friendly and helpful staff who put me at ease and also gave me some good advice on other piercings.. will definitely return here for future piercings and jewellery changes ❤️. Best piercing shop I’ve been too in the area. Highly recommend for anyone who’s a bit nervous.”

“Really great work done by Terry and Lowri. Never fail to knock it out of the park with their work”

“I had laser treatment with Ami to remove semi-permanent brows. She was brilliant! She was kind, patient and reassuring, and knowledgeable and professional too. I felt in very safe hands and totally recommend her.”

“Excellent studio, had a few peices done here now and the work is amazing. The staff are very friendly and a professional environment. 100% recommend!”

“Alex was fantastic, she put me at ease and explained everything for piercing my ears. A fab service at a great price, thank you”

“Was a bit nervous as it was my first ever tattoo but had an amazing experience. The staff were lovely, the studio was fantastic. Tattoo was done by the studio's apprentice and I cannot speak highly enough of the service and after care. Would definitely recommend this place.”

“i went to have my nose pierced by amber. She was incredible. Any nerves I had she put at ease straight away. She made it a very nice experience and I will definitely be coming back. She was the best piercer I have ever had and will be recommending her to other people. Thank you again xx”

“Some incredibly talented people work here. I’ve had many tattoos done here and look forward to many more.”

“Had my first ever Tattoo done here by Indy and I absolutely love it, great experience provided by Indy and his colleagues. I was anxious about getting my first tattoo done but Indy and his colleagues were very welcoming, friendly, professional which made a good atmosphere. I cannot recommend Indy highly enough, very Talented, professional, friendly talked me through everything from start to finish and I’m grateful for such a positive first tattoo experience. Many Thanks to you all at Danny’s Collective. Simon”

“First came here at the end of 2023, and haven't stopped visiting since. Really great studio with super friendly staff and tattooists. Very much a family vibe as they all get along so well and create a fun and relaxed environment for getting your ink done. Primarily had my work done by Tara who is a super talented artist and an incredibly chilled and friendly person. Had a nice piece done by Dan, who owns the studio and is a great artist too. I will hopefully be back in October for more work by Tara and hopefully Ella too, who is another superb artist who works mainly in colour. Ben is always great to communicate with and might just be Nottingham's answer to Slash. And if you need a Japanese piece doing..... Martin's your man. I always feel very welcome here and I am always excited for my next visit. Hopefully I will see you all again after the summer. Cheers.”

“been here a couple of times now my last one was a week ago and got a thigh tattoo done by Steve i absolutely love it the detail is amazing. very friendly and nothing is too much trouble going back again in a few weeks for a cover up. would highly recommend”

“Amazing piercing/tattoo shop! I had my nose pierced here and was quite nervous but the staff were lovely and very patient. They explained thoroughly about the after care as well and it was clear they knew a lot about piercings. Will definitely come back here for my next piercing. Thank you so much!”

“Got my first tattoo done in March 2025 and the process was easy and friendly. Had a free consultation chat with Vlady, we then swapped design ideas back and forth until I got something I was in love with. Easy to book. Clean, hygienic space and in 3.5hours I was done. Vlady was friendly and kept checking in with me during the tattooing and I loved the follow up emails giving me tips on how to heal and look after my tattoo”

“Just wanted to leave a review as I have been coming back to this artist time and time again as their work is immaculate, the studio itself is lovely clean and well decorated and the other artists are really welcoming and lovely. I have attached photos of all the work done (the thigh piece being the newest). I always feel welcome, safe and comfortable. The artist always checks in on me if I go quiet to make sure I am okay and was offered lots of tea and had no pressure to keep going and could take a break whenever (ultimately being taken care of in the best way). I first came to this artist for my chest tattoo when I was 19 (as a young girl this could’ve been nerve racking but the artist (si) was amazing! ) as I messaged the studio with a design and they recommended him. He was very kind and considerate and I felt really comfortable, it was the first tattoo in this type of area for me and I had a 20/10 experience. With tattoos like the chest they can be painful and the artist will also have to lean on/over you when the tattoo is being done to ensure it’s done correctly with that in mind I felt 110% comfortable and was constantly checked in on and as a younger person who was new to these things I felt cared for and looked after I could not recommend this artist enough not just for their professionalism but their quality of work and most importantly their care towards the customer! The artist I usually go to also works alongside another (Klaudia) that I have recently been tattooed by (the cherries) she’s just as great as my usual artist and will be coming back for more piece from her too! Once again great customer care and awesome work! As someone who now has lots of tattoos from many artists which were all lovely these two both stand out the most and I cannot stress enough that they are both amazing and will always guarantee a comfortable and great experience! I always get compliments from friends and strangers on their work!”

“Me and some friends got our noses pierced last week, piercer was very patient with me as I was really chatty and asked a lot of questions, and during my piercing I was noisy, explained things to me thoroughly and pierced my septum beautifully!!!! I’m coming here for my bridge next time!!))))”
