I chose this tattoo place on the recommendation of a friend. I had Tracey D, and she was amazing, the tattoo has healed and didn't take too long. £80 may seem a bit much at first, but it was totally worth it and I don't regret it. If you are going to get a tattoo it is worth paying the extra money for it to be excellent than somewhere cheaper and not as good.

Got my first tattoo here just a few days ago and couldn't be more pleased. Every box was ticked - quality, experience, convenience, and price - all exceptional. Highly recommend this place. Cheers, Snappy!

Loved it! My work is excellent, far exceeding what I'd had in my head.
My artist was Luke Kempton who I cannot recommend more. He is a sound guy, friendly, no pretence, obviously in to his art and above all an excellent tattooist. Very little pain or after irritation, excellent shading and colouring.
From start to end the experience was great. Booking was easy and the woman on reception was ace. The rest of the team when not working were watching and chatting to me. The place is keen, decor is lush.
Really made to feel welcomed and comfortable.
I'll be be going back to him for more.

I was given a gift voucher to this parlour for my birthday. I have quite a few tattoos and had been looking into getting tattooed by Tracy D so was quite excited to get some ink by her.
I arrived a little early to my appointment and was made to feel welcome by the lady on reception, whilst Tracy set up for me.
The studio was clean and friendly and had a really nice atmosphere. I would definitely go back there again. I'm already planning my next piece!!!

As for the tattoo, it is by far the best one I have, worth every penny, Im so happy with it!

My tattoo. Was done by rod and I had met and spoken to him prior and we had arranged the price of £70 because it was the first part of my sleeve. This was my first tattoo and I was looking forward to it however he was very rough while tattooing me and made me bleed quite a bit, after he had finally finnished and I went to pay him he changed the price from £70 to £100 without letting me know beforehand, when I questioned him about it he said it was because it was a set piece whack has a set price although it was the first part of me sleeve and only took 30 mins. In the end I was forced to pay because he had already done the tattoo.
2 weeks later and the tattoo has healed and is looking good but I DO NOT RECOMEND ANYONE GOES THERE, however if you decide to go anyway, DO NOT ROD TO DO YOUR TATTOO.

I would NEVER go here again, or recommend it to anyone else. I was tattooed by Rod. The tattoo is small and basic. When i was quoted on it, I was told £80 as it would take no more than an hour, which was fine and in line with everything on their website, so I payed my deposit. Then when it came time to do the tattoo, I was told it would be £100 and when I questioned it, I was told that it was bigger than he thought it would be. This still didn't seem right but it didn't seem smart to argue with someone about to tattoo me. The tattoo took a maximum of half an hour, so should in no way have cost extra money. I emailed the studio and didn't receive any response until I contacted them again to tell them that I had since developed a massive infection. I had to take time off work as the tattoo is on my foot and was so infected that I couldn't walk properly and had to be on antibiotics. The only response that I received was that my emails would be passed on to Rod - who has not responded at all.
The infection is now healed. The tattoo is just over a month old and the areas that were hit by infection are completely stripped of colour - it was meant to be solid black and now has a large patch of bare, fresh skin in the middle. The areas that weren't touched by infection look incredibly dodgy and look like they have been faded for years rather than a matter of weeks. A tattoo that should have been straight forward will now need to be re done - all of the colour and a portion of the outline. I was left ripped off, in a lot of pain, unable to go to work and with a tattoo that needs to be completely redone. I would never return to this studio and will never recommend it to anyone.

Had my tattoo done by Phetrus.Thought the 100 sterlings an hour was a bit pricey.But after the first 3 hours (out of 3 sessions of 3 hours each)i've realized that it was worth every penny.I receive compliments on my tattoo every day and thats priceless.
What an amazing artist.
Highly recommended!

I would not recommend anyone to go to this tattoo parlour, they did not do what I wanted and the tattoo artist that did my tattoo was quite rude and rushed my tattoo. My tattoo now has strangely begun to fade away and some of the lines are both fading and crooked. I have also now learnt that I was also probably overcharged as most tattoo parlours charge by the hour and I paid a ridiculous amount of money for a tattoo that was small, all black and that took only 10 minutes. This was my first tattoo and I now have to go and pay money at another tattoo parlour to fix the crooked and fading lines on a tattoo that was only done three months ago. I am very upset and disappointed with this experience and wouldn't recommend this tattoo parlour.
