Tattoo art culture in Manchester

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Great artists, great work, I'm extremely pleased with my experience here. Would definitely get another piece from Louise next time I'm in the UK.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Al we always a pleasure to have Andrea tint my eyelashes x very gentle, tells you what's bein done & what to expect. Such a nice polite, chatty young lady and always does the perfect treatment. Thankyou”

“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!!”

“Brilliant, friendly team who are always more than willing to discuss needs and design the perfect solution in a relaxed shop.”

“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!”

“Had three tattoos there now and I couldn't be happier with them. All really friendly people and stayed open later to do my last tattoo as I don't get home till 5pm. Quality tattoos from a great bunch of people”

“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*”

“Absolutely amazing work by Ollie At bold street tattoo! 100% recommend! I’ll definitely be booking in with them again”

“A brilliant place, good atmosphere and staff… and of course the ink is great. Been going for years!”

“Such a warm & welcoming atmosphere full of artists with amaze talent. Giving a massive shoutout to the lovely - Sandy Green - who I recently have and always be tattooed by! Had my fourth tat done spontaneously and free handed by Sandy and I couldn’t be more in love. All four have been complete by Sandy’s talents and I highly recommend checking her out! :))”

“Absolutely amazing. Kim quoted 70 pound for my tattoo and previous tattoo places quoted between 100 and 180 and my tattoo is one of the best I've ever had. Kim is simply lovely and a pleasure to have met. I cannot recommend her enough.”

“Amazing place, Sam is a great artist with amazing line work and attention to detail, wouldn’t go anywhere else now! :)”

“Had my first tattoo a few months back, and Acension was recommended by someone I know. Ive since had 2 more sessions... I'm addicted now!
