Tattoo aftercare in Manchester

“i’ve been here twice to get both of my nostrils pierced, and honestly i’ve never felt so comfortable in a studio before. everyone is so welcoming and lovely, and their work is phenomenal. i will absolutely be back!!”

“Had a portion of my sleeve done by Paul... 5 star service before and even during these uncertain times I had a cover up and you can't tell one bit... love it, will be going back in January to pay for another full day session”

“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”

“I had ear piercing which was not straightforward. I was put at ease and had solution explained. I was given time to sit intil I felt ready to leave. All o.k and I would definitely recommend here for piercing.”

“I have had tattoos before, and was a bit nervous about having another as I'm not trendy or young... I needn't have worried. The staff and artists at Heart For Art were incredible. They made me feel relaxed and comfortable straight away, which you don't find at every studio. Bogdan is a genius. He listened to my ideas and didn't mind when we were still tweaking the design on the morning of the appointment. The eight hour session was relaxed and friendly (and not very painful) which I'm sure was due to the people being great). I love the portrait of my daughter; Bogdan captured her expression beautifully. I'd recommend everyone to go to Heart For Art, and Bogdan, but then I wouldn't be able to get an appointment!! Luckily I'm already booked in for my next session. See you soon!”

“Absolutely love my new tattoo of my black cat! It sits so well with my infinity with birds tattoo!! Would highly recommend this tattoo shop to anyone wanting either a first one or more! I've had two done here and my husband had his first ever... our granddaughters name! Super friendly and spotlessly clean! Thank you I couldn't be happier with my results!”

“This was my third visit to Rapture Tattoo for more work on a sleeve. Ash has done all the work and as always was professional, amazingly talented and a really nice guy. Parking is ample outside the studio and on the inside there has been a face lift, giving zones to each artist which gives a feeling of privacy without losing the open plan look. Very happy once again and look forward to a return trip for more work to be done. I would always recommend Rapture to anyone who is serious about tattoos.”

“Highly recommended! Daughter went for first cartridge piercing. Matt was super friendly and professional, made the experience a really fun one. The shop is very clean and well equipped. Will definitely be returning ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“What an outstanding studio. Best experience I’ve had. Great staff and all artists so friendly. I had 4 days in total with Claire Hamill and she gave me the most amazing tattoo. A massive thanks to Claire and looking forward to another work of art from her soon. I would recommend this studio to anyone no matter what style you want as pretty much anything can be done by the range of extremely talented artists they have here. Thanks again”

“What a team of great people!!! I’ve had multiple piercings here and they smashed my husbands new tattoo (which he won from scratch cards that they offer at Christmas) I highly recommend and will be booking in for my own tattoo very soon!!”

“Had a few of my tattoos done here recently and I wouldn’t go anywhere else now! Everyone here is really friendly and put you at ease straight away as I’m always a bit nervous beforehand. Absolutely love my tattoos and would recommend to anyone! 10/10.”

“I've had my tattoo around three years now, it's extremely high quality, very clean place, and excellent artwork. I had my first tattoo here and I felt very comfortable and at ease - Would completely recommend to anyone looking to get a tattoo; any kind of tattoo, simple or intricate.”

“Can’t give a single flaw to be honest. I got my first tattoo yesterday off Courtney and I couldn’t be happier; made me feel really comfortable, great tattooist and was very quick. 100% recommend!!”

“Superb tattoo studio. Ryan really helpful and polite. Anastasia did a portrait of my dad who died recently. Outstanding results. Highly recommended.”

“The shop is clean and fresh, receptionist is lovely. The artist are amazing and very friendly. Been going for years and recently had Coop working on some anime and manga panel tattoos. Very happy with her work and look forward to getting many more done there.”

“Had my ears pierced a month ago. My ears are healing nicely and I've not had any issues. As an adult going in for a first piercing the staff were fantastic, made me feel really comfortable and the peircer talked through everything he was doing, fantastic experience. I'm now thinking about getting a 2nd lobe piercing here in the future. FYI it's cash-only, but not an issue as there are several cash points across the street.”

“I got my first tattoo today with Fish and honestly I cannot recommend these guys enough! The service has been fantastic from start to finish and Fish is an absolute magician. Sadly we lost our dog last month but today I got a piece of him that will be with me forever. I messaged them on Instagram and they promptly set up a face to face consult, Fish was so friendly and open to discussing designs. Top notch service, communication and a tattoo that exceeded my expectations! Thank you so so much!”

“Me and my friends decided to get tattoos while in Manchester and found this place on Google, All around it was a great experience the staff were extremely friendly and good craic while getting our tattoos, one of my friends felt very unwell half way through the tattoo and all the staff were very accommodating and allowed her to take breaks during her tattoo session which took up a lot of their time and they did not increase the price which we expected with all the commotion. Would definitely recommend to a friend!!! Extremely happy with my tattoo”

“Staff helped me with queries and worries upon placing appointment. The person who pierced was amazing. Clean and tidy studio. Excellent all round!”

“Treated my husband for his latest tatoo here last week. It is his 5th done by Arron. The artwork is absolutely amazing. Such a talented guy. Definitely recommend. Thanks Arron Raw Tatoo. X”

“I have used Mikey and Emma as my go to tattooists for well over 3 years now and I wouldn't go anywhere else!! Nothing is an issue with them, their creativity is unsurpassed and I can't wait to get another one! 2/2/23Edit... Went to Emma (Missfitts) yesterday for 2 piercings...can't commend her highly enough for her professionalism, her knowledgeability and attention to detail...again, I cannot fault her, and is my go to whenever I either need a tattoo or piercing...xx”

“Mark was very personal very chatty witch is a good thing total 10 out of 10 on my experience the shop was very clean very good price as well not like some that are around would definitely recommend him will definitely be useing him again made up with my tattoo thanks again”

“Staff are amazing look after you before during and after work done is to perfection I never go anywhere else now highly recommended”

“Got my belly button pierced here and I felt so comfortable , he made us laugh a lot and it put me at ease. Piercing and vibes are perfect 10/10”

“I had 4 very different tattoos done by Joe and they all turned out amazing and were just how I wanted them! There was a great atmosphere and I would highly recommend this tattoo shop for anyone thinking about getting a tattoo. I will definitely be returning!”

“Great first nose piercing experience after looking at reviews and other places, I would return here again and only use Voodoo for future piercings. The lady who did my piercing was quick, friendly and professional and you can tell she is very experienced 5*”

“Got a tattoo done here on Thursday first time at this tattoo shop and won't be the last. And all I can say is what a fantastic person sam is he's so funny kind and caring. Constantly offering me drinks had my favourite drinking as well cherry Coke. I love my tattoo so much the atmosphere was fantastic great music great vibes such a delight. I was a little bit nervous but as soon as he started talking I was no longer nervous I couldn't stop laughing with all the jokes he was telling he generally was just a down-to-earth lad will definitely be coming back again to use his services.”

“These guys are absolutely amazing. They know their sh!T and are always so so helpful x”
