Customer Experience

  • "I love this place! Have been back now for several pieces of work with the owner Snappy after initially going for a small cover up!"

  • "I am absolutely shocked that I would be grabbed in such a way and she had no right to do so especially considering she grabbed me from behind and that I (reasonably so) am not fond of strangers touching me."
  • "I had to pay someone else to redo it."
  • "Worth noting it was cash only!"
  • "they charged me 130 pounds for a 5 minutes job (it was quite small), and a tattoo they didn't even draw!"
  • "He didn't go deep enough which I told him."
  • "All communication up the appointment was great with Alex however it’s a shame about the rude reception lady sat eating a pizza in the studio and offended when we hadn’t noticed she worked there."
