Wanderlust Tattoo 49 Frith Road, Croydon CR0 1TB

"I seriously cannot speak highly enough about Wanderlust, I recommend this place to all of my friends because of how fond I am of it. I've found in the past that a lot of well established tattoo and piercing shops can have a standoffish 'I know better than you' attitude towards their customers, but Wanderlust has been the kindest and most welcoming place I have ever been to, and not in the forced over-the-top nice customer service way, it feels genuine! I have been to Wanderlust for my last few piercings and tattoo and I will never go anywhere else. I was recommended this place by one of my friends a few years ago, and I've had my third lobes, rook, double vertical helix, and bellybutton piercing done here, and each time I've been has been as great as the last. They make you feel welcome and are very clear at every step of your appointment, the pricing, the procedure itself, aftercare and healing, it's explained thoroughly and in a way you can understand. I also came here to get my first (and only) tattoo done and again the experience was great as expected. Had a nice chat with the tattoo artist whilst it was being done, felt comfortable and at ease, they were also very clear about what to expect at every step of the appointment. They also have a great range of jewellery options to choose from as well as selling tattoo and piercing aftercare products.. I always buy the Neilmed aftercare saline solution here because they sell it for such a good price compared to other stores and online. But to be fair I'd probably buy here it at any price because I love the shop so much and want to support them lol Overall 10/10, 5 stars, 100%, love this place."

"The lady that does the piercings is lovely, as is everyone else that works in the shop. She communicates well and talks you through every step of the way and asks relevant questions. You can tell that she knows exactly what she's talking about and is very experienced. The only sad thing is that she's only in every other week. However, the staff in the shop are always very clear about when she will be available, which is great. The other plus is that their prices are very reasonable in comparison to other nearby piercing/tattoo shops. I'd highly recommended to all!"

"I came to get my forward helix pierced here around July, i loved the service very sweet workers. Had a sweet chat while piercing my ear to distract the pain (it didn’t hurt so don’t worry if you’re getting it pierced). Healed very well, good price too £27. You will need identification, if your young and getting permission by your carer they will need identification too (drivers license, passport)"

"I get all my Tattoos done here;8 in total so far, all decently sized. Never had an issue so far. Friendly and talented staff. They do free tattoo check ups and touch ups which are extremely helpful. Prices are extremely low for the amount of work and time they dedicate to the tattoos. No complaints at all."
