The Best Tattoo Shops in London

Mowgli is an amazing artist – creative, authentic, warm hearted and genuine – his tattoo parlor is like his personality. Even if you don’t want a tattoo, worth a visit

Lovely experience from start to finish. The booking process with Matt was seamless and he was extremely accommodating when it came to rescheduling. The tattoo itself was great beyond any and all expectations and the service at the studio was second to none. The entire team provided a super welcoming and easygoing atmosphere and I can’t recommend them enough.

First time at getting eyebrows tattooed. So happy I found Dana. I had two visits. I found her extremely professional and personable. It was pain free. She gave thorough aftercare instructions and print outs to take with me. So I knew everything about the process. Definitely recommend Dana as I absolutely love ❤️ my brows.

Love my new eyebrows! I was a bit nervous as I’d never had permanent makeup or a tattoo before but Dana quickly put me at ease with her professional approach. She took the time, following a consultation, to carefully mark up and draw on my eyebrows, making sure that every detail was perfect. The tattooing didn’t hurt at all; I just felt a light pressure. The results are fantastic. Thank you.

I must’ve walked past this place many times but never been inside. By chance I saw on their Instagram that they’d had a couple of cancellations so I was able to get an early morning appt the next day.

Nice relaxed environment, clean and hygienic.

Jarda is a friendly guy and very professional; he understood straight away what I wanted, and clearly explained what he would & wouldn’t be able to do in terms of detail, since I was getting a small design on my inner wrist.

He also explained the aftercare process; I thought I was familiar with this from previous tatts, but it seems the technology has improved since a few years ago; no clingfilm any more! Plus he gave me a sachet of cream free where others would’ve charged.

I won’t post a pic just yet while it’s healing, but I’m very pleased with the result – fine, neat artwork.

Thank you Jarda – am already thinking about another design idea… I’d certainly come here again. Recommended.

I was very impressed with the quality of the tattoo Tomas Marcik gave me. The detail on my tattoo is out of this world. Obviously, I did my research before getting my first half a sleeve and these guys are the best in London. Tomas is a nice guy as well as an artist. I felt very comfortable. Thank you.

Me and my partner both had tattoos here today which were both done by Sam. The tattoos came out amazing, even better than we expected!
The service is amazing. Polite, friendly and so welcoming.
Very good prices and couldnt recommend them more!

Great friendly people helped me through the process of getting good a tattoo

Mashallah Marina and Denis top class tattoo artist know them since back in the day their art is incomparable highly recommend if your first time getting tattoo they will looks after you

Amazing small gem in London with a great people and authentic atmosphere. Gera is a great tattoo artist who can not only give a great suggestion, but also will go above and beyond to make things happen. Very much suggesting that place if the service quality matters!

I don’t think I’ve ever had such a good experience anywhere else. Not only is it a very queer place friendly in my opinion, but the jewellery is high quality and the service is amazing. My piercing was done in a matter of minutes and I almost wish it had lasted longer just so I could hang out a bit more. I’m definitely coming back for my future piercings and change of jewellery!!

went there to get a scaffolding and a navel piercing done and got amazing results. the customer service is top notch.
i was helped to personalise all my jewellery and made to feel really comfortable with my choices and throughout the whole process.
would definitely go back :))

I recently had an amazing experience getting a custom tattoo at Santo Cuervo Custom Tattoos in Chicago. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed and made to feel comfortable. The artist was professional and knowledgeable, and had an impressive portfolio of beautiful work. I felt like he truly understood my vision and was able to bring it to life. He took the time to go over design options while staying within the design price range that I was comfortable with. The tattoo itself came out great! It looks exactly like what we discussed in the consultation, and I am extremely happy. I will definitely be going back and recommending Santo Cuervo Custom Tattoos to all of my friends and family.

Had a really good experience here recently. Booked with Onikid as I had seen his work online and wanted an anime style tattoo. He was really helpful, professional and friendly, and he put me at ease from the start. Most importantly the tattoo was excellent. He’s very talented and I’m really happy with end result. Nice, clean and relaxing studio too. Highly recommend.

Absolutely LOVE my new tattoo. The details are beautiful, gorgeous shading on the flowers, artist was really focused and it came out exactly as I hoped. Excellent price too. Will definitely be back and already been recommending this tattoo shop to others. Thanks so much, delighted with it!

I got a forward helix and 3rd lobe piercing by Giada, who is professional and meticulous as well as kind and friendly. The studio is very clean. I will definitely come back.
100% recommended!

Am Delighted that these guys are now doin hand tattoos. Today’s session was great. Always a clean environment, and the owner and artists are always a joy to be around. Will definitely be returning soon.

Really pleased with both my tattoos I love them!! 🤩🤩 They were a last minute booking super friendly and welcoming. Very clean, professional plus accommodating as had no childcare. Very excited to go back for when I decide on my next one. Thank you to the artist and team xx

Skilled & experienced artists – knowledgeable & professional but in a relaxed & friendly atmosphere. Quality work – some of the best in the business. My tat is beautiful; Steve has added to what I already which has joined everything together enhancing the old with the new – great vision – I am extremely grateful & happy!

Tattoo’s still healing but we had a great experience here. Went for their Friday the 13th flash & had to wait a bit in queue but it was well worth the wait. Alice did my tattoos and she was great. Very cool and easygoing.

Shoutout to Allan Graves and his amazing shop, Haunted Tattoos. He worked with my vacation schedule and make sure to fit me in, he even changed his schedule 🙂

He was awesome to talk to, and knew exactly what I wanted done. Besides this sick Goosebumps tattoo, I got some pins, shirts and horror prints. It was like a mini- horror con in there. And plenty to look at!

If you are in the London arena and like horror, and looking to get some ink, Allan and his crew are where you need to go ☠️🎃🧟‍♂️

Just a shout out to Allan who was extremely calming and professional. A clear art master, who has been doing this job not only as a career, but as a passion first of all. I wandered in on a whim, after never having a tattoo before, and dropped my number as a walk in, as soon as Allan got into work, he rung me and called me in, I passed over an sketch of what I wanted, and he knocked up the real thing within minutes. He then easily made me comfortable with his go to friendly vibe, and easily made this the smoothest experience and painless as it could ever be. I am super happy with the work made, especially the quality in the short time it took, you’re an absolute great guy! And I wish Haunted all the success in the world. Couldn’t recommend high enough, pricing was also very reasonable. Keep being you and keep doing what you do best Art master! Kind regards, one happy customer and father. Charlie 🙂

First thing first, the owners are such a lovely couple. They know what they are doing and man I must say that I am very impressed with how my new and old tattoo came out. They are very clean and their shop has an amazing atmosphere. They make sure that you are happy and content with your tattoo and therefore they will make several suggestions that they know that might look better and suit you. Will definitely recommend!!

I visited Pure Poison to get my first tattoo, they were brilliant! Very friendly, put me at ease, used the designs I had sent in advance to create something slightly different and more delicate for me and add their own touch.
Very happy with the result, it has healed well and looks great.
