“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.”

“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.”

“Great place with excellent service, great value and worth every penny, make me amazing tattoo, really appreciate it bro thank you!!”

“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”

“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!”

“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”

“I had two tattoos done by Hope last September and she is an incredible artist and a lovely human. She has such a passion for what she does and is easy to talk to, patient with your needs (if you need breaks etc) and has a clean station. The whole studio of artists also gives a really friendly vibe. I look forward to getting another tattoo from her at some point in the future!”

“Liam is absolutely amazing at his job, he genuinely loves his work and it absolutely shows in his tattoos! A perfectionist at everything he does!! Custom designs his work and can make any idea you come up with soooo much better!! I highly recommend”

“My second visit to Odin’s and the experience was twice as good as the first time. The shop is immaculate and the staff so so amazing. I was so lucky to have Ewelina do both of my tattoos and she killed it both times. I think artists like her are so hard to find. She has a real skill for producing detailed, intricate designs and I think in the tattoo world that is so rare. Combining her extensive knowledge in both the tattoo and brow game makes her the ultimate double threat. I will not go elsewhere from now on! Can’t recommend enough!”

“Gavin is a great tattooist and artist. You can see his passion for his work, very professional and he is a friendly guy too. Definitely worth visiting for a tattoo at his studio.”

“I took part in the TPA piercing course in Manchester this past weekend and my overall experience was incredible. I originally had booked to participate down in London, however due to behind the scenes issues, it meant that the course would change to Manchester. At first I was worried and felt very anxious, however Sammy (admin) went above and beyond to ease every single worry that I had, even to the extent of rebooking my hotel for me as the one I'd paid for originally was non refundable. He didn't just leave it at that, he even called me on the evening of day 1 (whilst he was at the airport) to double check I had arrived okay and was settled. Again, going above and beyond with their customer care. Anyway, I travelled up and arrived at the salon and then met the teacher, Sunny, and 9 other participants all taking the course. The two day course was intense, but packed with incredible and helpful information. The first day was theory, and in depth information regarding all key health and safety aspects, including business set up, cross contamination, hygiene, infection controll/prevention/spread, and of course all aspects of piercing. The second day saw practical work; first on fake skin and then on live models. Regardless of how anxious we were or how much we lacked in confidence, by the end of the weekend we were all competent and had learnt so much knowledge. No question was too big or too small or insignificant, we were all treated fairly with respect and all round wholesomeness. Sunny was an incredible teacher, and dedicated his time to all of us, and still does now. The teaching and support didn't stop when we walked out of the door having passed our exams and passed the course. Not only have we made life long friends with the others on the course, but we have a life long mentor too. The owner, Alan was just as professional, he and Sunny were a really well paired ying and yang, that made the work easy to understand and absorb. TPA has created an incredible course where you feel suppprted, encouraged, cared for and listened to in a very warm, relaxed environment. By far, this is one of the best things I have ever done and I am so glad that I chose this company to start my career with From start to finish, the customer and pupil care has been second to none. Thank you again, to Sammy, Sunny and Alan for their time and dedication to us all, their encouragement and support has meant that I now have the confidence to be successful. Recommend to everybody, this is a phenomenal experience.”

“On my first visit Sophie did two piercings for me. Super helpful at the booking, lovely studio with a great selection of jewellery. Sophie went through with me process in detail. Aftercare has also been great too. Healing perfectly! Looking forward to my next! Thanks Sophie”

“Highly recommend! You don’t get a nicer tattoo studio or environment than here, and Chardaine is just so lovely and down to earth, she makes it a pleasant experience! Previous tattoos don’t compare she is amazing at what she does. The team she has working with her are lovely aswell”

“Amazing cool studio, very clean and professional. Excellent consultation and artistic production of my potential tattoo. Lou was really easy to spend time with and I’m made up with the finished product. Great value for money as this guy delivers a quality tattoo. I will not go anywhere else from now on.”

“Couldn’t be any happier with my experience here! Went in for my first tattoo and everyone made me feel comfortable. I absolutely adore the tattoo done by Shannon, who did such a good job in making me feel at ease! Also, left with two helix piercings done by Chris, who made getting a needle through your ear enjoyable and fairly painless while creating such a friendly, easygoing atmosphere. Such a good experience! Definitely recommend and will be back again!”

“I always go to Leo. He always keeps it professional as he always respects the customer as well as being open to changes in the design within reason. He is an overall nice guy who is passionate about his craft. For the other staff, they are always cracking jokes and checking in on you . Overall, it is a comforting environment. I never feel stressed as there is a lot to look at around the parlour to keep your mind occupied. In short , 10/10.”

“Best atmosphere tattoo parlour around. Top quality work. Would advise anyone to try Fleckys”

“I have been to keith for many years for my tattoos, super nice guy really great artwork, clean environment and great conversation whilst being tatted, also been tatted by ratbagz tattoo who is based in ninth circle also a lovely experience. Overall if you want sick ink from great people check ninth circle out”

“Norma is an absolute star when it comes to Disney and colourful tattoos. She listens to your ideas, creates fantastic designs and it's a pleasure going to the shop. Everyone welcomes you and you feel relaxed with the added bonus of having a laugh too. Wouldn't go anywhere else, the shop is located in a quieter area than others and has near by parking. Would recommend Stay Weird to anyone.”

“GED is 10000000% the best tattooist i have ever been too. I've been going almost on a weekly basis for almost 6 months. The work he's done is amazing. And the work he's done on most of my previous tattoos to fix and improve them are remarkable. And some i thought he wouldn't be able to do anything with, they was that bad. But they've all come out so good. Luckily he's only a 5 minute drive from me. But he's so worth the travel to get to. He's great to chat and have a laugh and banter with. Makes you feel comfortable and makes sure you're 100% happy before and after tattooing you. And you will not be disappointed with his work.”

“Wouldn't have my tattoos done anywhere else. Very professional and done to a high standard kym always has great input for my designs. Made to welcome every visit”
