 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Firstly I’d like to say how lovely the staff are. Rick is absolutely lovely and greeted me outside and was so helpful throughout my whole tattoo, bringing me tea’s and checking in with me. Harry did my tattoo today and designed it all for me from a couple reference photos id sent him. He was so gentle and an absolute pleasure to be tattooed by.
