• "The man that did it was really friendly and took the time to make sure they were even with a marker and even got me to check that I was happy with the placing."

Cons:

• "Very unprofessional. They covered it with tissue and had to go to A&E as it got stuck and couldn't remove it myself ... very painful ..."
• "Also tried going here for a walk in tattoo and the man at the front just seemed annoyed and like he didn’t wanna be there, was not welcoming or patient at all, did not make you feel comfortable."

Cons:

• "Pierced my belly button too high and too far right, had to take out the belly piercing after the too short piercing started healing inside me."
• "The bars she put in were way too small and my nipple was almost enveloping the balls, i had to come in around a week later to ask them to size them up."
• "Some lines are thick and others are thin, the design looks quite wonky overall."
• "I got a tattoo here at the end of june and was recently informed that the artist has went too deep with the needle and it's resulted in large amounts of scarring."
• "Went because I needed to get a specific tongue bar I spoke to the guy and ask a few times will it fit he said yeah I will and well it doesn’t so I spent 5 pound on one bar for nothing!"
• "The tattoo seemed fine when new but it's been damaged by ink blowout, the lines aren't uniform and I'm not happy with the tattoo."
