“This was my first tattoo and I was nervous before, I shouldn’t have been. Through every step of the process I was reassured and it was a relief. On the day I was cared for and the service all round was exceptional and I could not have been happier with the tattoo I had done. Thank you so much for the service and I will be back for more.
I chose to have a custom tattoo that was personal to me. You could not have had every part of the process more cleaner than this amazing studio.”

“Absolutely fantastic experience at InkLab! From start to finish, both so friendly and welcoming, and they genuinely went above and beyond.
My sister who has special needs, had desperately wanted a tattoo but was understandably nervous. Steve and Miles were absolutely fantastic with her. They put her completely at ease, were so patient and understanding, and made the whole experience such a positive and memorable one for her.
Steve & Miles, what fantastic guys you are! Thank you so much for making our experience so special.
15 family tattoos completed in one day! Incredible. Looking forward to booking in my next one.
100% recommend InkLab!”

“My sister and I had such a lovely experience with Steve at the Ink Lab. When initially arranging the appointment, he very kindly accommodated to my sister’s university move out date, despite having full bookings until after her move out date. Even when we decided to have a different tattoo design to what we had originally picked, he was very lovely and understanding about this and didn’t complain at all. When we arrived at the studio, my sister and I were instantly comfortable with Steve and we all had loads of laughs throughout the appointment. Steve was also really patient and helpful when we were deciding on the placement of our tattoos, he re-arranged the placement of my tattoo multiple times without complaining and encouraged us to tell him whether we liked the placement. Steve was also really professional from the initial messages, to the end of the appointment. At the end of our appointment, he told us how to care for our tattoos, gave us a booklet on how to care for them, sent consent form links to us before the appointment, and despite our tattoos being small, stated that we can tell him to stop tattooing us at any time if it hurt. My sister and I decided to have fine line tattoos and he did an amazing job with the line work, it looks very neat and accurate to the photos that we sent him. We also paid £60 each for our tattoos which is an amazing price for our experience. We had the best time with the Ink Lab and we will definitely be coming back again, thank you Steve :).”

“What can i say apart from what an amazing and welcoming place to go for your 1st tattoo or 100th one. The moment you walk through the door they make you feel so comfortable and at ease. I've been to a few tattooists but here they don't just have amazing artists such as Miles who did this one for me but also Steve who's work you can see on the page, But are the most genuine people who you can have banter with even when its getting to the tricky parts. Start to finish absolute quality and will definitely recommend to anyone who's thinking of getting a tattoo or want to add to their collection. I am absolutely chuffed and can't wait to book again.”

“My friend Rachel and I have wanted matching tattoos for a number of years. During a week long stay in Wales, we stumbled across this wonderful tattoo studio and we got booked in the next day. Steve was kind, professional and put both of us at total ease. The studio is light, spacious, extremely sterile and beautifully designed. We are absolutely thrilled with our tattoos and would recommend InkLab to anyone and everyone! It is such a shame we live so far away, otherwise this would be a regular tattoo studio for me! Thank you again Steve, I wish you and your son and the business every success as you truly deserve it!”
