Artist Professionalism and Skill
Pros:
"I was tattooed by Jack Watts, who is both professional and really friendly."
"The tattooists are serious, careful, talented and make you feel very comfortable."
"Steven did a phenomenal and professional job in tattooing a motif I had brought in."
"They were super professional and really cared about what I was looking for."
"I have never felt so comfortable and trusting of a place or artist."
"I had an outstanding experience with Jethro Wood getting my first tattoo yesterday. Such a lovely guy and extremely talented."
"Everyone I met on the day and on a previous consultation visit was great, all very polite and helpful."
Cons:
"Maxime vetoed his main idea immediately with no movement... until he had basically refused to do anything that my friend actually wanted because he felt it wouldn't 'look good'."
"After he finished the right side, he told me that today it will cost me £350 just for the right wing and because i was an hour late for the appointment."
"He took advantage of my respectful personality and even though i told him that i still wanted to finish the tattoo, all he cared about was money."
"This Dan tattoo artist just made up the prices as we went along and when a customer requests for him to do a certain area first (with good reason), he refuses to because he never starts on the left side?"
"But the designer my friend booked didn’t care much, and as I’ve said took too long a time re-drawing his previous work."
"Edited - Dude went over the lines whilst colouring! Expected it would fade but two months on its definitely clear that an error was made. Shame as it really detracts from the cleanliness of the design."
"Refused service to an customer due to medical status who is a good friend."
Studio Atmosphere and Cleanliness
Pros:
"The Sang Bleu staff is warm and welcoming — and top notch in regard to sterilization and sanitation."
"The shop has a great atmosphere and I felt taken care of from the start and throughout."
"The atmosphere is comfortable with great vibes, all the staff is nice and friendly."
"Great atmosphere in the shop everyone was very friendly."
"The studio has the right balance of being welcoming, stylish and hygienic."
"Everything is run well and kept very very clean."
"The environment is spacious, spotlessly clean and bright - think high end hair salon meets art studio."
Cons:
"This can mean it doesn't feel that cosy or intimate, which I find important when getting tattooed."
"The only downside to this shop is that it's so large, as it can get quite busy with lots of artists and customers coming and going."
"Left a deposit pre lockdown for my first session which as a result was cancelled and have been unable to book a convenient slot for this year."
"He told me he would charge me extra for being late."
"I called in advance to let him know i will be late and when I arrived, i asked if I could just get my left side done first as i want to cover some old writing on that side first and incase there wasn't time to finish and that can we finish the tattoo another day."
"The prices are quite arbitrary and sometimes beyond would could be considered 'reasonable'. My tattoo took less an hour, max 45 min, just black with a bit of shading and cost £250."
"I will never be visiting this studio again and will not be recommending it."
Customer Service and Experience
Pros:
"Welcoming staff, always helpful, smiling people around and a lot of ink 😃"
"Ladies on reception are just lovely, very helpful & kind."
"He was a pleasure to consult with, giving his expert opinion on options but listening to what I wanted."
"The entire staff was extremely friendly and welcoming."
"Everyone made me feel comfortable during my time there and we had a bunch of laughs as well."
"The whole experience smoothly facilitated by the most charming receptionist/booker."
"Very friendly shop from the hello to the goodbye I was very comfortable around the whole shop."
Cons:
"One can only imagine they are willing to take risk"
"If they use new and sterilised equipment and fresh ink on each and every person, this would not be a problem for them."
"This is illegal under the Equality Act 2010."
"But the designer my friend booked didn’t care much, and as I’ve said took too long a time re-drawing his previous work."
"He told me he would charge me extra for being late."
"I called in advance to let him know i will be late and when I arrived, i asked if I could just get my left side done first as i want to cover some old writing on that side first and incase there wasn't time to finish and that can we finish the tattoo another day."
