Talent in Grays

“We're so in love with our reupholstered vintage chairs and bespoke sofa. We get so many compliments on them! Anthony helped realise our 'vision' and has not only created these beautiful pieces but has helped us source other pieces of vintage and antique furniture for our new home! Thank-you!”

“My daughter loves attending Grayes since the age of 5 she has been welcome by all teachers and made amazing memories friends she will have for life. The principal cannot do enough for her pupils creating a positive atmosphere in every lesson. Highly recommend.”

“Hands down one of the most engaging dance groups I have found. My twins are only 3 and loving every minute of their Saturday mornings filled with dance, singing and drama. The team here take the time to get to know the kids. I love getting their video’s - it is a fun way to celebrate their achievements. Well done to all!”

“Absolutely lovely experience getting a small tattoo at this studio. Getting a time slot booked was quick and easy, and they are extremely accomodating. The work was done with a lot of care and attention, and the tattoo came out better than I could have hoped for.”

“First went to Eddie's Tattoos as a blank canvas... I now have roughly 45 hours worth of ink covering 2 sleeves, huge chest design and a smaller shin piece and I couldn't be happier. He spends quality time designing and planning every piece to make sure all his work is of the highest standard. For first timers he will talk you through the process and keep you at ease as it can be a scaring experience. All in all amazing company and HIGHLY recommend.”

“The absolute best tattoo place I’ve ever been to, as soon as I walked through the doors I felt at home and at ease especially it being my first tattoo. The two artists Lisa and Cia are two of the funniest and nicest people I’ve ever met and made the experience so much more enjoyable. Lisa who designed and created my tattoo done it to perfection and couldn’t of asked anyone better to do it for me. Not only that the shop is super clean, very good value for money and the environment is so special. If you are looking to get a tattoo you will cherish for the rest of your life I would 1000% recommend this place. :)”

“I stumbled upon this shop when the one local to me was fully booked and so glad that I did! Me and my best friend wanted matching tattoos and Victor was the one who I dealt with from booking the appointment to drawing the tattoo. He was so professional yet so friendly. His drawing of the design we wanted was even better than the one we saw online. Overall I am so very pleased with the service and design and will certainly not hesitate to recommend nor to use him again. What an asset he is to the shop.”

“Couldn't be happier with the tattoo experience! Friendly from the moment I walked in, Esbandit was brilliant.. designing a tattoo there and then as I was a walk in appointment. Friendly, clean, professional! Couldn't ask for more and would definitely get a tattoo there again.. thanks guys!”

“All very friendly and pleasant people. Have always been looked after when I've been there to get my sleeve done”

“Spoke to a very polite and helpful young lady named Leah went out of her way to meet my needs and then met erx at the shop and he made me feel comfortable when getting my tattoo and the environment was so calm and relaxed I will Recommend ScarredForLife to anyone and everyone”

“I’ve had C-section cover up tattoo done by Klaudia. She did a fantastic job right from the drawing all the way to the end. The space is amazing, very welcoming, bright and clean. My tattoo turned out so beautifully and healed so well. Can't wait to book my next tattoo!”

“Kat completed the design work for my Tattoo and was super friendly. I am a very nervous client and I was made to feel at ease and all measures were in place to ensure I felt comfortable and distracted for the duration. I am due back in April and really excited to see Kat again and what she has waiting for me with regards to design. Shop is lovely and clean, inviting and a nice place to be in. Easy access via public transport and also easy to find.”

“Excellent tattoo place. Rafael is highly professional and extremely passionate about his work.”

“By far the most amazing tattoo experience. Angel is just such a gentle and amazing artist. I had a mandala, jewelry lotus flower piece on my forearm. The studio: Easy to locate and very clean and open. There is a sense of tranquility from the moment you step in. Business communication: Everything was communicated clearly and promptly so there were never any doubts about anything. The Experience: I pre-booked and received my design in advance and it came out even better than imagined. Went to the studio for the session and was welcomed in with open arms and a nice cup of herbal tea. Angel was very knowledgeable and professional, nothing was rushed. She is a very gentle tattooer and I managed to get through the whole session with no breaks or pain. There was room for casual conversation and more importantly there was room just to be and get immersed in the experience. I would highly recommend Angel for a tattoo and hopefully, someday, I will get another piece done.”

“I used Kat to design a matching pair (but different!) Flowers to go on my shoulders and she did an excellent job! Over a year later I am still loving them and would definitely return for more in future. Reccomended!”

“Absolutely fantastic tattooist, went through Jamie. Impeccable set up, service and art work, really pleased. Will definitely use again. Thanks.”

“I visit this place first time. Rachel was lovely and she makes my ear piercing so easy. She is so friendly....I will highly recommen them.”

“1st time using ESL after not having my hair cut in 3 yrs as I've had really bad experiences with other hair salons but was made to feel completely comfortable relaxed even my 2 little 1s was treated really well Can't wait to come back for my little girl hair cut completely in love with mine so highly recommended”

“This was my first tattoo and from messaging Emma on Instagram she made me feel at ease and she was helpful but at the same time didn’t decide for me or push me into having the tattoo. In fact she told me to not rush and follow my heart. That it’s when I knew I wanted Emma to tattoo me! I went to chat with Emma before I booked and we looked at designs and she did some sketches and again she was so helpful, friendly and made me feel welcome even as a newbie to tattoos! On the day again I cannot fault my experience! It was fun and I loved getting my first tattoo. I would highly recommend Emma and I am sure I will back!”

“Very clean great staff excellent service when ever I've had a tattoo done can fault Jason & his team, looking to get another Grandchilds name to my already four balloons”

“Natalia was amazing . Her attention to detail was brilliant and I'm so happy with my new tattoo. Highly recommend this tattoo shop the guys who were having tattoos done both had lions chest piece and back piece and they were amazing”

“Alex the piercer was super lovely, I came in because the end of my barbell had fallen off and vanished somewhere in my house, so I had to get a replacement and he offered me two different sizes for no charge and let me use the bathroom to make sure they fit. Really nice guy, and great vibes in the studio itself”

“We were looking for a place to have our tattoos done while on vacation. Out of the 9 different shops I contacted , Flamin’ Eight was the most consistent with their correspondence. I am extremely glad I chose them because they made us feel comfortable, listened to our ideas and did excellent work! You know how some shops have artists with a God complex? Not these guys! They were down-to-earth and friendly. It was easy to spend the day with them and of course having Paco the security chihuahua was an added bonus! Sonia and Naresh run a quality shop that’s definitely worth visiting! You will not regret it.”

“Zoe was great with my conch piercing. Very hygienic and happy with everything overall. Staff were friendly and welcoming ☺️”

“got my septum pierced here, very hygienic with kind, funny staff. pierced perfectly in the right place and was super quick!! thanks!!”

“If you want a tattoo come here, very honest and professional, 100% will be using again in the near future. Keep it short and sweet. This place is the best of the best.”

“Lovely friendly helpful and informative staff. Professional and clean. Fantastic tattoo. Thanks Denise x”

“Iv had two tattoos and two piercings at this shop! They are all absolutely amazing. They make you feel so welcome and help with nerves very well! My friend came with me today to get her first tattoo and they were very precise about insuring she knows all the bits and bobs for aftercare! Quality and service is 10000/10.
