Absolutely fabulous, Cannot rate highly enough. Such attention to detail and put my random design I had in my head to life but made it 1000% better then I could ever of dreamed of. Kind and attentive staff, who made sure I was comfortable happily played me some music and made sure I was okay throughout the session and even very kindly got me a tea and some water which was beyond appreciated. Owner does a fantastic job of tattoos and even the art work in the studio is all done by him. An incredible talent and a absolute Gem 💎

the BEST tattoo service i've ever received. i've been to a few tattoo salons now and amit was by far the best artist. very obliging and knew what he was talking about. it was nice for the experience to feel personal rather than rushed and one in, one out. designed my tattoo with me in detail and considered lots of key factors to make it look the best as it could for ME on my body. 10/10, would definitely recommend, i'm so happy with my new tattoo!!

Amazing cover up work. From the first moment, Amit made me feel at ease, he advised on doing a cover up on my existing tattoo as i was planning to extend it and he has absolutely delivered. Extremely pleased with the result. The process was not overly long and not really painful at all. 100% recommend this artist. Really great, down to earth guy, not at all intimidating unlike in other studios i have tried to visit in the past and having had a look at other pieces of work he did, I was confident i was in good hands, so confident that I let him design the cover up and apply it without me having much knowledge of how it was going to look

Have gone to Amit for over 50 hours of tattoos including the most recent piece. Not only is he an incredible artist that listens to what you want but he will also advise you to ensure your custom tattoo piece is tailored to you and looks amazing! With an unbelievable amount of time in the industry you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't book in with Amit! Very highly recommend!

Small pieces start from £80. Custom work is quoted after a free consultation based on size, detail, and placement. You'll know the exact price before we start — no surprises.
