“I took my daughter here to get her ears pierced. Fablous place! Great service, very clean and due care was given. Daughter is very pleased with the result. Lots of time was taken, there was no rush which made my daughter, who was a little bit nervous, feel relaxed. I was allowed to be with my daughter for the piercing and all of our questions were happily answered -- even though I'm sure he had heard them a million times! Good aftercare advice, my daughter followed the simple instructions had no issues.”

“I reside in the USA and was visiting London and wanted a tattoo as a souvenir. I called/emailed so many shops and got no replies and was losing hope but Hammersmith Tattoo replied back to me quickly and I made deposit (which was easy to do) and confirmed my appointment. I walked into the shop and noted it was clean and I was greeted by a friendly person at the desk which instantly made me less anxious. I was then greeted by my Artist Tom who was friendly, attentive to my ideas, gave some great advice and drew up the tattoo I was imagining perfectly. Once in his room, it was clean and all standard sanitary procedures were followed that I could see. He was polite, courteous and as a women alone in a room with a man, felt at complete ease. The whole experience was pleasant and positive. I left with a beautiful tattoo in his style that I love and will always remember my experience in London for it. Thank you Hammersmith Tattoo and Tom for making my trip to London that much better!”

“I would 100% recommend coming here for any piercings/tattoos you want, they were incredible! Everyone was really kind and welcoming, the place is lovely and clean and everything was done very professionally. I will definitely be returning! :)”

“Ally is FAB! She drew a phoenix and my late mother above it in a heart. I then went back to get it done in colour. All my friends want her to do theirs now!. Thank you Ally. Love Soraya. Xxx”

“Best tattoo shop! Friendly and helpful. Also very honest. Not just tattooing for the money Megan and Dave are best!”

“Keeping it real This is a proper tattoo studio. I have been tattooed by Tim and Rob for almost 20 years and I have never had a bad experience. The studio is always clean and hygienic and they always use new equipment. The quality of my tattoos are stunning and I've never been left disappointed. The quality of the outlines and the colouring is first class. I've recommended friends to go there and they have left with excellent tattoos and very happy. They are the best tattooists around here.”

“Had my first tattoo here yesterday with Travis, and he did an excellent job! I was really impressed with the friendly and professional service, and the super clean environment. Highly recommended, I shall be back!”

“Was staying in London for a few days and thought on the off-chance to visit Camden, I'd done a bit of research prior and came across Nemesis Tattoos, whose excellent reviews set my heart at ease, and they truly do live up to every single one! I walked in and asked if they'd possibly fit me in for a nose piercing, which they happily obliged to. Professional and Friendly staff, and I believe it was Magda (who, might I add, is super stylish herself) who did my nose piercing, and wow, she's amazing! So polite and friendly, she talked me through each step, helping me decide what would look best and before I knew it, it was done! My piercing looks so so cute, and I was given all the information on how to take care of it to keep it looking so fresh! If you're in the area, definitely check this place out, you won't regret it!”

“Love my tattoo by Dani Mawby! She was really helpful and patient in designing my tattoo. I sent her some of my ideas and she put together something unique and special. I had a great experience and highly highly recommend !”

“5/5 I cannot be happier with my experience. Siner Caballero was the artist who did my tattoo, he is so amazingly talented!! I'm over the moon with my tattoo. Beyond that, he is also very friendly and trustworthy. I felt comfortable at every step of the process, the other artists at the establishment were also super friendly and accomodating. Will no doubt go back!!”

“Wonderful experience! Me and my fiancé went last minute to get a spontaneous tattoo and they welcomed us with kindness and excellent service :) we would recommend 100% they are very clean and professional and our tattoo’s were amazing. Will definitely come back.”

“I was in London for a weekend trip, and decided to get my first tattoo. I messaged on Instagram very last minute and the team were so lovely and managed to fit me in for the next day! From the minute we walked in Lee was so friendly and made us feel at ease. Joao did my tattoo, he was absolutely amazing. He took the time to make sure the size was perfect, offered different designs and made sure the location was perfect. The tattoo looks better than I ever imagined it would. The amount of 5 star reviews the team get are so justified, what an amazing experience”
