Top 30 Best Tattoo art community in London

“For over a year I have been searching for an Artist to take on a project of a cover up and to rework an old cover up which had scarring coming through and not well done, I approached over 20 different tattoo shops and Artists with no joy. then I was recommended Alexine at this shop, you can contact her by email, please read it fully and send as much info as you can inc measurements and idea's, She will respond with in her time scales (1 week) with details and ideas what can be done etc, She is 100% honest about what designs will work and won't, She will not waste your time or hers which I like. I went in for a consultation and heard what I like, paid deposit and sent her loads of idea's , Recieved the design 4 days before our first session just in case you want to change or tweek anything. Our first session was placement and out lining work, I had trouble imagine what it would all look like when it would be finished, Alexine was patient and explained it all very well and coached me through it. 6 sessions later it was done! All the sessions ran to time and to my expectations, She never failed to delivery. You really do get back what you put in with Alexine, she is direct, polite, professional and loves cover-ups, happy to tattoo for hours if you can take the pain ! The studio is very clean and relaxing, all the ladies there are very nice and make you feel welcome. Honestly I'm not one for reviews but If you need help in a cover up or reworking a piece, get in touch with her. I was doing 50 mile round trip to have this done, well worth it .”

“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”

“I got my eyebrow pierced at a different shop and they screwed the ball on so tight I couldn’t get it off so I decided to call Lauren’s because my friend had gotten hers done there a year prior and it was a lovely experience all the staff were really nice and changed my eyebrow piercing really professionally and quickly I was also able to come in 10 mins after I had called. Great service definitely going there for my next piercing.”

“Highly recommend the crooked rook, had my first tattoo done by Jake. Lovely guy, really put me at ease and explained everything really clearly. His work is amazing and I am so happy with the results, I have had loads of compliments on how well it has been done!”

“That matey Steve Kerr is a bit of a legend, we all came in, made us all feel like home, great hospitality and choice of music. His skill when he touched my skin, is like buttering a fragile bread. Smooth. Amazing tattoo i may add too. Lewis took care of us as we came in to get great tattoo that Steve did for us and make us feel like home too. That Louis guy, know his way around grill as well and provide a great banter. All around, amazing day for me and me mates getting a tattoo for our friend who we lost recently and made our day best as possible. 11 out of 10 day.”

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

“Could not have had a better experience getting my first piercings at InkHouse. Spoke to KJ a couple weeks before I could get it done to discuss options. He talked me through the process and what to expect on the day and aftercare wise. They found kept a bar that was exactly what I was after for when I turned up on the day, which shows you how much they care about their customers. I was totally comfortable during the piercing (helix and earlobe). They didn’t rush me out the door at all, which is what I gather other studios do. I’ve had to go in a couple times since for aftercare queries, and they’ve been just as great. If I’m getting any other piercings, they’ll be done here!”

“I had the Daith piercing done by Zoe and it’s worked wonders! Definitely helped to relieve my migraines! I also had my first tattoo done by Bill and he is an amazing tattooist!! His art work is insane! Would recommend this place 1000%”

“Went to Parliament Tattoo last weekend to see Kat (@knife_dance) for my first tattoo. Everyone was super lovely and welcoming, and Kat did an amazing job - not only with the tattoo itself but also with making me feel comfortable throughout the process. Cannot recommend enough and will definitely be planning another trip here soon.”

“I absolutely adore going here. I always feel so welcome, the prices are incredible and the quality of work is even better. In the last month, I've been for a tattoo and septum piercing as well as touch ups for my older tattoos and all have been perfect. I'm already planning more. I cannot recommend more highly.”

“This is the second tattoo my mum and I have had from Julian, we orginally found him online, the studio is great and all of the staff are lovely, 4 tattoos between us and Julian nails the assignment every time! I’m pretty sure we will be back shortly!! Thank you for looking after us so well and making us feel welcome.”

“Great shop! We had an excellent experience here. The staff were helpful throughout the process from start to finish including having to email back and forth and design the tattoo for me with them being in London and me being in Bristol. The design was amazing, Sam knocked it out of the park and then nailed it when it came to tattooing the design on me. Sam was friendly, calm and relaxed, the perfect combo for someone in the tattoo industry and the other staff were also very friendly. I can't wait for my next sesh!”

“Partner and I got tattoos here and had the best experience. All the staff were super helpful, friendly and welcoming and a shout out to Andrea who inked us. He was really professional and accommodating. We got booked in really quickly and the whole process went smoothly - we’d definitely recommend this place!”

“Awesome studio, the artists are all professionals, friendly and very talented. James went from giving me my first tattoo, to giving me a full sleeve. Highly recommended!”

“So lovely! It had a great atmosphere and was decorated beautifully. Everyone was super friendly and professional. I was tattooed by Gaia who did a great job at making me feel comfortable and explained everything she was doing really clearly (since it was my first studio tattoo that really helped me feel comfortable). Overall a really good experience!”

“I had such a great experience at Shall Adore, and Olga is just fantastic - her artwork is beautiful with amazing attention to detail and she is so lovely, professional and brilliant! I could not be happier with my tattoo. It was a cover-up, and Olga managed to do an amazing job on it, better than I had hoped for! Everyone at the studio is so friendly and made me feel totally at ease. I will definitely be going back for any future tattoos!”

“Getting your first tattoo is a big step, I’m glad I chose Kindred to have mine. PK put me at ease with his effortless, friendly personality. The end result was excellent & I would definitely recommend to novices like me or anyone who’s no stranger to a needle. Thank you very much, I’ve no doubt I’ll be back soon.”

Absolute legends!!!”

“First time in going to Big Dog Tattoos, was outright the best experience I have had of a tattoo shop. Customer service was amazing. All the team were welcoming loved the set up. Clean, tidy and professional would highly recommend. I was tattooed by Laura who was brillaint at offering advice and knowledge from previous experience. Thank you all hugely appreciated”

“I have a lot of tattoos and Alo is one of the most gifted artist I have ever had the pleasure to tattoo me. I came to him with half an idea and he was able to shape that idea into an amazing tattoo design. He’s an extremely fun and easy person to get along with and he made 6-8 hour days fly by. If your looking to get a tattoo I would highly recommend going to see Alo.”

“Absolutely the best experience really happy with my Nipple piercing from Pinkie. I won't lie I was really scared but pinkie was reassuring and walked me through it. I will defiantly be back again for something else also. I must highly recommend your service wasn't rushed. The after care ointment and soap is very good I'm supper pleased thank you so much.”

“Got my nose piercing done by Rob. As soon as we arrived he made us feel comfortable and spoke to us about the whole process. I was nervous but didn't even realise that the needle had even gone in, cos I felt so comfortable. Rob went through the aftercare with us thoroughly and told us if there were any issues we are always welcome to come back. Amazing service and the process was soo quick.”
