Artistic tattoos in Manchester

“I have had 2 tattoos by Emma and Katie now and both times were such a lovely experience. From initial contact, discussing my design they were patient, communication was excellent and their ideas really helped me bring my design to life. Their pre care and welcoming nature made me feel so relaxed. Their studio is BEAUTIFUL! So clean, fresh, homely and relaxing. Even the bathroom is so stylish and clean! You can tell how much love and effort they have put into their studio! They are thorough with their advice and preparation and explain everything they are doing at each stage to make sure you are comfortable. Their attention to detail with the work they do is phenomenal! They are gentle when tattooing, make sure you are at ease and give you plenty of breaks with coffee and refreshments when needed. After care is the best, I have received! A full breakdown of what I need to do and a sample product of the best skincare to apply. On top of all this my tattoos are beautiful, and I will definitely be going back for more tattoos!”

“Amazing place, everyone is so welcoming and nice. Very professional, Kasia is so talented, I am so happy with my tattoo. Will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone!”

“Had a few tattoos done here absolutely fantastic service would never go anywhere else super friendly and they always do what you want and the prices are great”

“Fantastic studio run by a very talented and experienced artist, can handle any type of tattoo you are looking for including difficult coverups, large scale work or anything else you want. Prices are very fair and the work is very high quality.”

“I had a fantastic experience at spectre tattoo. Neil is an amazing tattoo artist, he did an awesome job on my latest tiger piece. Very professional service & super clean studio. The friendly & relaxing atmosphere made the day extremely enjoyable. Check out their Instagram page to see how amazing the tattoos are, I would highly recommend. Thanks Neil.”

“I’m getting tattooed by Ben T and I love getting to come to hand of hope to be zapped by him. The whole team are great and all amazing artists. Always lovely to have a chin wag with and keep the banter going while the zapping happens.”

“Carl is a top guy who does beautiful work, reasonable prices and very relaxed. Wouldn't go anywhere else now.”

“Wouldn't go anywhere else. Mel very nice and gives you good advice. Great tattooist, great studio.”

“I visited Jori to make an initial enquiry and was advised to email with details. I had a pretty vague idea which she developed and came up with a stunning full colour artwork within a couple of days. A week later I was booked in and the job done. Her time guesstimate was spot on. Very relaxed, very professional and to my amazement the end result was even more detailed than the original artwork. She exceeded all expectations, I cant recommend her highly enough.”

“First tattoo and couldn't have found a better place. Clean safe and very professional. Great work Kevin..... thank you”

“Such good prices. Been there multiple times, wouldn’t go anywhere else now! The piercing lady is absolutely lovely :)”

“The staff were very welcoming on arrival. Jade Davies did an excellent job on my first sleeve. I can't wait to get booked back in with Jade to add to my sleeve. Highly recommend. 11/10”

“Had a fantastic experience at Bloom Street. Sarah is some sort of magician, with beautiful designs, all the girls there were so welcoming and friendly and it's such a lovely space to be in. Thank you! Will be back :)”

“I visited stone heart studio for my first tattoo, which was done by Matt. What a fantastic place, Matt was so professional and put me at ease as I was nervous. The whole team made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. The studio was immaculate and extremely clean. My tattoo has healed perfectly and it looks amazing. I have had a lot of comments and quite a few of my friends are looking to book in. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a tattoo, Matt is so talented. Thankyou so much.”

“Love this shop. Simon is awesome. Honest about what can and cannot be done and the likely outcome etc. It’s not about the money - it about getting the art right! Would not hesitate to recommend so much so that when my daughter decided she wanted a tattoo (aged 18!!) I made sure Simon was the one to do it!”

“I would give more stars if i could.Tony (the tattooist ) is excellent and really understands what he is doing,The whole experience of having a tattoo there was great.Friendly atmosphere too (hot drinks offered ) i would not hesitate to recommend this tattoo artist. bernie (oldham)”

“Great tattoo artist, very happy with my new tattoo and the going over of an old tattoo. Excellent”

“Great friendly service with a smile, saw the staff to sort out my lip bar that needed changing and was able to get a replacment one and had it fitted for an affordable cost ☺ highly recommended and would love to go back again.”

“Tattoos by Nic is the Only place we as a family will go, in our opinion Nic is the best tattooist locally, by far!!!! She has gone above & beyond, opened up one sat just for me & my sister. Made lots of money for the Manchester bee appeal!! Tattoo wise, wow, the intricate details she does are amazing. My hubby has a full back piece, American Indians,detail is amazing!! Come up with an idea & Nic will draw it, FANTASTIC See you soon Nic XxxxxxxX”

“Great experience yesterday with Vegan Steve. We had discussed the design prior to my appointment but he made sure I was still happy with it before starting. I went in for 2 tattoos but couldn't come to a decision on the second one. Rather than letting me go ahead with something I want sure about, he advised me to go away and think about it which I thought was decent of him. The studio is really clean and the artists were all very friendly. Another nice point for inclusiveness is they ask on the consent form what your preferred pronouns are. Was a nice touch. Highly recommend the place and I will be back for more.”

“So happy to have found Beany. I've got a number of tattoos and have been absolutely blessed over the last decade to find three wondrous muses to build upon my collection. My most recent move, to Manchester, lead me to Beany. Beany is so chilled out and suffers no nonsense. I felt completely at home from the get go. She's given me several memories already, including two perfectly considered memorials for friends since past, some fun pieces to remind me of personal events, and a masterful back piece in reference to Alexander McQueen (our favourite designer) with her own dark nature vibe. I wish I could visit every day, but I'm lining up ready for my next piece. Thanks Beany.”

“This review comes form 3 full consecutive days in a chair followed by a further 2 full days of work. (Another day on the way). Rob is my tattooist to date. Full back piece. The guys a don. The shop feel spacious and not like you're stacked on top of people and in general its cool as fxxx. Dale is the other tattooist and his work is exquisite, what makes it work is more though is the respect and friendship these two have for each other and the banter makes the place feel welcoming. The guys do some absolutely sick tattoos as well. True masterpieces and whats more they care about their work. I've seen them discuss and delay an instant pay day to ensure the customer gets something amazing and unique, when they could have just copied work lending an honest credibility to their artistry. 100% glad I came to this shop, 100% happy with my back plate work and will be coming back to this shop for all my tattooos in the future because I know they do great work in the right way. Thanks guys.”

“Bekki is absolutely amazing. Her artwork is stunning and she's incredibly talented. She's very gentle and great company as well. I will be going back for plenty more from her!”

“Dale, Chris, and the other studio artists are all professional, experienced tattoo artists that create very high quality work. Lovely chilled out studio atmosphere too. Absolutely one of Manchesters best tattoo studios!”

“Love Keri’s flash work and the experience of getting tattooed by her was an absolute joy. Felt very comfortable and had a good chat. Recommended her to a few friends. I work in the centre of Manchester and have met a few other people who have had work done by her and all agree that she’s a legend.”

“Cannot thank Sam enough....absolutely love my new ink...I ve had work done at various places in the U.K. and would highly recommend Empire of Ink....Sam was professional...meticulous and has such talent Thank you Sam”

“So glad I found this place, Bex is a fantastic artist and I love my new ink, definitely have no hesitation at all in reccomending this studio to anyone”
