100% Best tattooist in Ayrshire. Both my husband and I had tattoos done. Designs are unique can design anything you ask for great artist. Patter is absolutely second to none with Neil. He is that laid back, he is horizontal, definetly the place to go if you’re nervous. If you are going to inflict pain on yourself (or allow Neil too) then why not have a laugh in the process with the best designs around. Would definitely recommend, nice friendly environment, makes you feel at ease. J is fab too and great wee bakery next door for your coffee when you’re done . Absolutely first Class 😀.

Got recommended here by a friend was my first tattoo and had my own design that I wanted. Neil was brilliant and I managed to get an appointment quickly. The place is very professional and clean and Neil loves a good laugh makes you feel very comfortable. Neil is a good guy very professional and would recommend the place to anyone just waiting on mine healing now thanks again I'll probably be back soon for another one! 👀🐺

I’m posting this review from my niece- she got a beautiful tattoo and is absolutely over the moon with. It was an amazing price for such beautiful line work, the tattoo is stunning! She had such a laugh with Neil and thought he was amazing at what he does & she couldn't be any happier with it. She can’t wait to come back for another one.

I booked a last minute appointment for my daughter and myself. My 13yr old daughter got her nostril pierced here after being told at all other places they only do nose piercings from age 14 (yet they'll pierce babies/toddlers ears 👀). I got my lobes and nostril all redone. I'd told the piercer (sorry, I didn't catch his name) I'd had problems with cysts/surgery on my lobes and nose before. But he was able to pierce both without a problem. He was very patient and said a few times to please let him know if where he'd dotted was the right spot. He took his time and made sure we were completely happy with everything. He gave the choice of piercing gun or needles for my lobes. Not sure why previous reviewer had a moan about him using a gun - if she'd have asked then he would have used needles. Why moan about it afterwards but say nothing at the time 🤔
The place was spotless and he disinfected everything in front of us, several times. Lovely guy, nice and chatty, really down to earth and makes you feel very comfortable. No pretentiousness, thankfully! We will definitely be back for more. And I think I'll look into going here for my Tattoos as well! Thank you for a great service! 5* 👌 (and for dealing with my moody teen 😂)

Had my lobes pierced here back in January. Jim (I believe that was his name) was incredibly friendly, really nice guy and made me feel at ease. This was my third attempt at having my lobes pierced after having them done twice as a kid and having a bad experience with them. It was a quick and easy piercing with the needle option, and a very clean and tidy studio. Piercings have healed great without any problems! Will be coming back at some point for another piercing or two :)ServicesService not listed
