A great, safe, clean tattoo/piercing palor with professional, friendly, knowledgeable staff. I have done 99% of my tattoos and piercings here , including upsides and chage-overs + aftercare advice for the last 20 years and would not go to anyone else unless absolutely, utterly necessary. Highly, highly recommended.

Walked in on a Sunday morning for a small tattoo, no appointment, and was seen promptly by Jarrod (apologies if I spelt it wrong), who did exactly what I asked for and was very pleasant. I would definitely return and Ive recommended the place to a few friends!

Ill advice from tattoo artist who I let convince me to slightly change locations for what should have been a very simple tattoo. Was warned of rubbing on the ankle, however when I showed my other ankle (which has had no wear on that for the past 8 years), he was nonetheless adamant on going with a higher location just above. If youre unable to do the work, ask your fellow coworker do it for you instead. Now have to book laser sessions, due to artist incompetence, in order to get the exact same tattoo only next time in my initially desired location. Will never come back. Would not recommend

Gotten at least 5 tats here over the past couple years, all of them walk-ins, always turned out either exactly or better than I wanted. Very reasonably priced compared to other nearby places. Highly recommended if you're getting anything traditional.

Brunette girl at reception was extremely arrogant and told us we arent able to get a tattoo done on the day because they are fully booked and was making many many excuses:
its too big
It will take too long etc
She finished her shift within 15 minutes after we entered. SOUNDED LIKE SHE WANTED TO GO HOME!!! Besides the rude encounter we were actually able to get what we wanted on the same day. I dont know where she came up with that information. Artist done a great job, very happy.
