What recent reviews say

First-time and returning clients consistently report a calm, attentive experience where staff personalise each piece and make visitors feel genuinely cared for. Large intricate work and small delicate designs both receive praise for precision, with walk-ins welcomed and bespoke meals offered during long sessions.

Piercings range from ear cartilage to facial; reviewers highlight anatomical guidance and aftercare attention. The studio's spiritual aesthetic (incense, music) and team cohesion emerge across reviews as what transform a tattoo visit into a memorable occasion.

First-time clients consistently report feeling at ease and well looked after. The team spends time on design refinement beforehand, offers practical touches like earplugs and fidget toys during appointment, and follows up afterwards. Artists deliver across fine line, custom design, and black and grey work with equal care. The studio space itself draws repeated praise for its cosy, vintage feel and clean setup. Repeat customers report consistent quality, and the team accommodates short-notice bookings when possible. Visitors from outside London often return when back in the area.
