Services
CHOOSING A STUDIO FOR TATTOOING OR PIERCING.Other than the use of universal precautions and laws regarding minors, few regulations cover tattooing. No governing body currently inspects tattoo businesses other than for hygiene.

Anyone can buy a machine, get a registration and start tattooing whether or not they have any artistic ability - a situation that professional tattoo artists object to - so it's a good idea to do your homework before rolling up your sleeve, it really is a case of buyer beware and the chance is if it's a cheap tattoo then its cheap because there is no infection control, there is no artistic ability or the establishment simply doesn't care about the well-being of its clients.
PIERCING SERVICESPiercing is carried out by experienced male and female piercers in purpose-built hygienic dedicated piercing rooms. Only high quality titanium Jewellery is used and the cost of any change down in jewellery is included in the cost of the piercing. All Piercings are done on a Walk In basis, no appointment is required.
We have been providing Laser Removal Services since 2008 using professional medical grade equipment provided by Lynton Laser. Please be wary of Tattoo Studios using cheap equipment which is not fit for purpose. The advantages of using our services are demonstrated particularly if you are having part removal of a tattoo or tattoo removal for a cover-up.

Do not get a piercing here. The guy here I think has completely lost any care for the person he's working on and likes to get you out as quick as you came in. Forward helix piercing, wrong angle, poor quality jewelry etc and now I'm having to debate having it removed completely.
Also had a nipple piercing several years back that was done too deep into the areola. He just doesn't care. Very different from any other piercer I've been to since.

I feel so upset having to write a review less than 5* as I have been to here to have my piercings done by Danny for years and they have all been great. I’ve not wanted to write this review for a while but I don’t think the service I got was very good the last time I was there. I’m not 100% sure of her name unfortunately but I was pierced by the female piercer around a month or so ago when I went to get a septum piercing. She is absolutely lovely however the piercing really wasn’t good. I was pierced with a really large ring which really wasn’t what I wanted but I didn’t get a choice

I had been recommended this place to get piercings. I can't remember who I saw, but it was a young male. He was very professional and did my piercings really quickly and painlessly as possible after checking i was happy with the positionings. Unfortunately, my body decided it didnt like piercings, and I had problems with them. I had spoken to my GP to make sure nothing was infected which is wasnt. I couldn't take them out myself, and because they had different to normal backs on, neither could anyone I know. So, I called the office to explain I had got my piercings done there a good while back

I had booked a tattoo in advance with a deposit. I had called early in the morning because I was recovering from a cold but feeling fine and had a negative lateral flow that morning (also double vaxxed) I just wanted to make sure with my artist she was comfortable. She said it was absolutely fine and to come for my appointment. I get there and asks to see a picture of the lateral flow which I didn’t have because she never asked. She refused my appointment and asked to reschedule, I had already drove 40 mins, payed for parking and took a days holiday from work to get this tattoo done. So disappointed

A friend and I had naval piercings done here a couple of months ago. They have healed really well for both of us. Staff are friendly and helpful. Price not bad at all!

My friend and I got pierced around the same time last year in this establishment and we both ended up with severe perichondritis and, after informing Design4Life, we were told it was our fault. After speaking to another piercer recently it is clear that we were misled.
To give a bit of background, a couple days after being pierced here both our ears started going red, swelling up, and became extremely painful. I went back to the shop and they said an infection was unlikely, and said it was probably due to the sea salt I was using. So I continued my self care. Yet the pain and swelling got worse

Not the best experience at the studio. I would advise strongly against booking in with Emma Bebbington (Embeetattoo) . Was overcharged for a tattoo by a LOT. Was booked in from 11am the tattoo did not start getting done till just after 12 (which I will give this first hour for prep but I was left for 20 minutes alone while she stated she was waiting for stencil to dry) The tattoo I got was a simple geometric line design which should of took 2/3 hours MAX but was dragged out for 5/6 (or so what I was charged for). The tattoo was finished just before 4pm but while cleaning up and taking pictures

I got a helix piercing from here a while back now and I would never go here to get a piercing again. The lady who pierced me was lovely, however she pierced it at an angle and it has caused me nothing but trouble since and it has developed a huge keloid scar. I had a professional look at it and I was told it was pierced at the completely wrong angle and my ear is pretty much ruined. I have had several piercing since but with a different piercer, and they have all turned out fine. I do not recommend for piercings at all.
