Looked into this place due to the work Ive seen on their Instagram, the work from all the artists looked awesome.
Booked in with Vlad for a sleeve as it was my first tattoo and I was unsure what to get Vlad has come up with a immense concept, detail the flow and overall artwork of it is so cool.
Vlad was really good with me checking in making sure I was okay, Overall I am buzzing with my first sitting and will be definitely going back for future tattoos. Could not recommend enough

My first tattoo and I couldnt have picked a better place. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming, Vlad the artist who did my tattoo was a genuine guy and really made me feel at ease during the process. Clearly a places that loves what they do and the finished article is exactly what I wanted. If youre thinking of getting a tattoo, pop in and have a chat with them, you wont be disappointed. Thanks to everyone at the studio.
