My Daughter and I visited on Good Friday. We were booked in with Harry. I had an old tattoo recoloured and my Daughter had a fresh tattoo. The shop was lovely and clean, the owner was very welcoming and Harry was brilliant. Whilst tattooing my Daughter I looked at the jewellery and asked if the piercer could change my nose ring for me. No problem at all. Done there and then with a smile. We shall definitely be back. Such a great shop with fantastic friendly staff.

Phoenix Cuff
Nice clean sterile studio. Lovely vibe amongst the staff. Very friendly. Had two helix piercings here they are offering a deal for any two ear piercings for £30 great value for money. It was a tad spicy getting double helix done. But it will be worth it when it's healed! 💚💚
