Studio Atmosphere
Pros:
"10/10, definitely a great place to visit."
"Fabulous tattoo studio that I've got 2 tattoos from so far and have recommended it to friends who also have had great experiences."
"I love this tattoo shop, the patience and politeness of all the staff, great advice and ideas, and their focus on customer satisfaction over just making money is great."
"Plus, cleanest studio ever and very professional and friendly staff!"
"Great artists who have a great talent for transforming my ideas into beautiful works of art."
"Such a friendly, comfortable but super professional vibe here."
"The studio had a warm and clean atmosphere."
Cons:
"I found it extremely, extremely inappropriate that the songs that they were playing, during my first visit, included prolific use of the 'N' word."
"Definitely, I would not return it."
"The tattoo ended up with a LOT of blowout and looked absolutely horrible."
"Awful Cowboys, these people shouldn't be on the high street, cost me 200 to have and 800 to take it off with laser and will take 6 months."
"The shop as a whole doesn't seem near as nice as it did in the past. Not a very good vibe at all. Avoid."
"Do not visit this shop especially if you are of ethics minority."
"This shop has no respect for other nationalities, totally no customer skills whatsoever."
Staff and Service
Pros:
"I am sitting here getting tattooed by Dawn as I write this... yup, right now! I love this tattoo shop, the patience and politeness of all the staff."
"Had first tattoo here; Beau did a beautiful job of some Celtic lettering with a heart I wanted; he also spent a lot of time making sure I was happy with the design details and nothing was too much trouble."
"First time using Kilburn Original Tattoo Studio, and I have to say it was a pleasant experience, the care your given is fantastic."
"I had an amazing lip piercing experience with Jess. Jess is so gentle and professional!"
"Tracey was amazing at helping me chose the right jewellery for my anatomy and planning for future piercings!"
"Just a lovely friendly person and place."
"Very professional shop and hygiene is 5*. Staff are friendly and work is exceptional."
Cons:
"I was then charged an amount I personally thought was over priced for the work done in the time."
"When they finished it they told me that they actually charged by the hour and charged me an exorbitant price for a 10x10 tattoo."
"The tattoo artist was very sharp and did not stop to puff and blow, which made me feel very uncomfortable."
"Sent em the base design to do what needs some drawing on it, it has been taken Dawn been the one to do it...... Weeks passed he was doing half of the design(2 Pieces of it) totally different one of the pic what has been told/ understood by him."
"Expensive for no reason and the guy with glasses is an as**ole, asked for help to fix a band and he didn't do what I asked."
"When I called up I was told that the people getting piercings would need ID, when me and my friend showed up after a two hour wait got told we couldn’t get our piercings without a parent having a photo ID."
"Avoid." (In reference to a negative experience with a specific artist)

"Highly recommend and will be back for more."
Cons:
"I will not be returning and taking my business elsewhere. Be wary as you could end up with a bad tattoo on you for life!"
"NOT ACCEPTABLE! Before I go on about my experience I want to say how much I don’t ever want to write a negative review, but in this case I feel like I have to pass this on so other people are aware."
"Went there a couple of months ago to get my nipple ring taken out. I was told that they couldn't help me with what I wanted and was told Camden Town would be my best option."
"The only possible down side i can see is there isn't much privacy, which i dont mind but worth saying."
