Testimonials

Chris is easily one of the best polynesian tattoo artists in the UK. His artwork is exceptional, linework is flawless and he's a lovely guy! Highly recommended, can't wait for my next session!

I am so happy with my tattoo from Valeria, her style is beautiful and I have had so many complements. I felt completely relaxed throughout my appointment, and communication at time of booking to discuss design ideas was easy too. The studio itself is well situated in the centre of town, and easy to find. Would definitely recommend and I will go back for more tattoos in the future 🙂

Exceptionally talented team. Been tattooed by Chris and Valeria. They listen to the customer's request but also provide great advice. The quality of their work is as good as it gets. Place is super clean and everyone really professional.

Chris made me feel comfortable from the off let alone his top class free -hand drawing designs! Down to earth guy with incredible tattooing skills. Highly recommend!

I spent the day at this beautiful place getting some line work from the talented Valeria. I can't recommend them enough. The space is light and airy and inviting. The team have impeccable safety and hygiene standards. The work was done beautifully and exactly as I hoped. Even the music was well curated. It was an absolute pleasure to be there and a really positive adventure. I highly recommend them both. They were kind and welcoming too. 6 solid hours spent working on a sleeve I've wanted to get started for years. I was amazed at how much got done and how easy it was to communicate placement and small changes.

Chris recently tattooed my arm. 10 hrs tattooing, all free hand and was also a cover up. So so happy with the finish. Would fully recommend

I have travelled from Scotland down to visit Chris twice now and been tattooed across three days. In the three days he finished a full sleeve and carried it on to my shoulder, joining it onto an existing backpeice, then over my shoulder onto my chest. All work was to a very high standard. The studio is very clean and all the staff are both very professional and very welcoming. Chris is a really good guy that does amazing work. I would definitely recommend him!
