I'm in my mid 50's and this is the cleanest , most professionally run Tattoo studio I have ever been in. Insanely talented artists , clear instructions and excellent communications.
All the artists and support staff are top people and very friendly and welcoming. I would recommend it to everyone from those who've been getting tattooed for years to those having their first one. I've been twice now for full day sessions and will be going back regularly.
I particularly like the set up where everyone is in the same open plan room. You can chat and listen to music with all the artists and other customers

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Quality
I booked in for my first ever tattoo with Sam A. He was really lovely, kept the chat flowing and the quality of work is fantastic. I asked for a specific animal and he really researched what made it look different to similar animals and nailed it. I'll be back!

Amazing artists but the shop owner charges way too much.
Deano who owns the shop initially confirmed the artists day rate as X amount and I ended up paying for a whole day. The session was 5 hours total - no more than 3.5/4 hours consisted of actual tattooing.
When I challenged the shop owner a few days later over the phone I was then told “you… pay for the piece and not by per hour” clearly changing what was agreed the first time around.
Overall, happy with the work, very unhappy about the fact that I probably paid for nearly twice the amount of time that I actually needed.

Couldn’t name a better studio, the staff are lovely and their work is insane! sam everett is my favourite (he’s done about 90% of mine)! i’ve never been dissapointed in a single tattoo i’ve had done here and i can’t stop coming back for more! great location too, nearby to pubs/cafes/restaurants/shops for a treat at the end of the day😊

I booked in for a tattoo with this studio and I was quoted a specific amount for the tattoo, however when the date came around to it it turned out the tattoo would "take more than this time" and I needed to book another session which is delirious as I've had similar style tattoos done if not smaller in lesser time, There was a clear atmosphere in this shop and the staff were all so rude, you'd be given dirty looks as you walked around the studio including from the owner. The beds were really un comfy and the tattoo artist I booked in with took loads of time before they started tattooing me meaning

Incredible group of people. Everyone is so welcoming and make you feel at ease. I had a stunning piece done by Boris, he’s a real talent! The best studio I’ve been to, it’s next level. To walk in for my first session and be bought lunch from a local restaurant and then taken over to the chair where I can whack on a headphones and watch Netflix on the overhanging iPad is everything you need to put your mind to rest before you’re getting jabbed with a needle! Hats off to Deano and the crew, you’re all fantastic!

I had my first tattoo done by Boris two weeks ago, and he was incredibly professional throughout making sure I was happy and if I needed any breaks. The salon is very clean and all the artists are friendly and approachable. They even feed you! I will be getting the rest of my sleeve done at Tokyo Tattoo and would recommend anyone else to do so.

I had my first ever tattoo with Ghazal and she was absolutely amazing! So reassuring and really helped to calm my nerves at the beginning. Had such an amazing tattoo experience and the final piece is stunning more amazing than I could have imagined. Couldn’t have picked a better artist to have my first tattoo experience with! ❤️

After horrid divorce last year, I visited Tokyo Tattoo to get an uplifting and detailed arm piece. The very charming, cheeky and talented Harry did an incredible job with genuine professionalism and knowledge. Whilst I have had smaller tattoos done before I was nervous about this larger and more visible piece. But my fears were quickly allayed as Harry gave me a really fascinating insight into the many considerations a good artist should consider: the need to ensure all his work would have longevity as skin can change over time and explaining why it was important in the first few days after treatment
