I spent five hours having my first tattoo inked on me by Dale at Flamin' Eight, and the whole experience was great. The tattoo looks beautiful, it was surprisingly low on pain, and I wasn't bored even given five hours in the shop: Dale and I just chatted while he worked. I was made to feel completely at ease, and I'm already thinking about when to go back. Highly recommended.

Flamin 8 were fantastic from the beginning, in terms of booking the appointment, being looked after on the day and aftercare. Sacha was lovely and very helpful and Dale who actually did my tattoo made me feel so comfortable and I couldn't be more pleased with the work that he did. I absolutely love my seahorse! Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience getting my tattoo here. Everyone at the studio is so friendly and helpful whether it's your first tattoo or you've been tattooed before. Daniela did my tattoo and I felt in safe hands the whole way through, she did an amazing job. My tattoo is healed now and I'm so happy with it! Would definitely come back again.

Thank you Daniela for my beautiful turtle tattoo on my wrist. My first tattoo so I was a bit anxious. Both Sacha and Daniela made me feel at ease; and Daniela’s tattoo skills are second to none. If you’re after a delicate design then Daniela is your girl. Thank you. Super service.

2 tattoos done the other day by the amazing Dale! So professional and lovely warm environment, felt really safe and clean the entire time. Was my first detailed tattoos (before I only had a tine one on my wrist) and Sonia and Dale both made me feel so reassured! Would 100% recommend for anyone looking to get a tattoo!

I lucked out getting in to see Taylor short notice after being recommended the studio by a friend. Dealing with Sacha & Sonia was a pleasure, they run a tight ship - really clean, cool studio. Taylor does awesome work with an awesome attitude - it's clear he's a perfectionist & loves his craft - which is exactly what you'd want from someone putting something permanent on you. Will absolutely be going back for future work in London!

I am absolutely thrilled with my beautiful new tattoo! This is my first tattoo and Dale did fantastic job of coming up with this design based on my ideas. He really made me feel at ease and took so much care to get it looking perfect. Big shout out to Sacha and the other artists present for being so friendly and welcoming and to Sonia for her great advice over the phone and email. Would absolutely recommend to any tattoo newbies!

Nothing really to say except if you need a tattoo this is the the place to be no questions asked, as a black man its a bit scary finding a place to go where they will do an amazing job but this place made me feel secure and made my ideas come to life even better than i hoped. Massive shout out to the whole team made the day crazy enjoyable amidst all the pain!! Also big big thanks to Kayne for doing such a damn fine job and kicking it with me the entire 6hrs to get this done
Looking forward to the next session!!

I decided a month before my trip to London to get a tattoo while I was there. I emailed Flamin' Eight with my idea and called and made a deposit very easily. Everyone is very nice and it's very clean. I was an hour late for my appointment due to getting lost and they still accommodated to me! My tattoo idea came to life and I couldn't have asked for a better job!

This place was just what I needed. Spontaneously I decided to get a tattoo in London. So I scoured yelp for the perfect place to go. I decided to walk over to Flamin'Eight because the reviews talked about how sanitary it is and how nice the people were. This shop definitely lived up to those reviews.
After walking in with just a photo of what I wanted I talked to Kayne, who had a cancellation, and he said he could fit me in that day! It was awesome I came back in an hour to see the sketch he drawn up and it was more than I hoped for.
This place is seriously special, while I was getting tattooed

I'm from out of town so I was a bit nervous about finding a good establishment for my tattoo. Flamin' Eight was incredible. I had an amazing experience all the way through. I booked an appointment to make it easier on myself and the staff. The receptionist was extremely kind and flexible with what worked best for me. When I arrived for my appointment I was early but accommodated nonetheless. My artist was Kirsty and she offered helpful advice and gentle distracting conversation. She had a soft touch and I was never in unusual discomfort. The facility was extremely professional and very

I was after getting a polynesian full sleeve done and I researched thoroughly where to go as I didnt want any old tattooist to do this massive piece for me, it had to be the right person. Flamin' Eight kept on coming up in my searches and so I checked out review sites, their own site and their facebook page and it was all very positive. I then chose the artist that I wanted to do my piece which was a hard choice as all the work from from each tattooist was of the highest amazing quality but I eventually chose Naresh. When I contacted them to make a booking the receptionist was very helpful

When I got my first tattoo done, I made sure to do loads of research to find a place I could trust and Naresh's tattoo studio Flamin' Eight is definitely that. Tucked away halfway between Camden and Kentish Town, it looks permanently shut but if you're brave enough to open the purple door you'll find a friendly, beautifully decorated tattoo studio where the well-informed (and well tattooed) girl on reception is always willing to answer any questions you might have, help you out with prices and advise you on the best designs and colours to suit your personal needs.

This is where I popped my tatoo cherry! After researching online for the best place to get a tatoo in London where I wouldn't end up with hepatitis I chose Flamin' Eight. They have the artists portfolios online so you can see their work and choose who you want before you go in. Do book in advance because slots to tend to book up. The receptionists was very nice and friendly, and helped me make my tatoo the best it could be. She was also very insistent on how I took care of my tatoo which I was very appreciative of. Yes of course it hurt, but only on the bone really, and it didn't
