Reviews of Inked Up Bristol Tattoo & Piercing

R. T.

Can not recommend this place enough! I was gifted tattoo vouchers for my Birthday and sent my design idea over and was almost immediately given a quote and a date. When I arrived for my booking, I was greeted by a very friendly and helpful brunette receptionist (I believe her name may have been Ruby?). I had the pleasure of being tattooed by the talented Greggs. I had informed him of a recent negative tattoo experience and he put me right at ease. The tattoo came out great and the entire experience was brilliant. Can't wait to go back for another!

C. B.

Lovely tattoo and piercing shop located in a great part of the older town in Bristol. Clean, bright and lovely shop with awesome staff. Highly recommend if looking for somewhere for a piercing. Will be coming back in the future. Thank you for such a peaceful experience :)

J. B.

This was my second tattoo with Specki, I can't stress enough how impressed I am with the design, the precision and the skill that shines through in this tattoo and the last. He gives you time and makes sure you're confident and happy, suggests ideas to improve the overall design without sacrificing the original idea. The rest of the staff are lovely as well, Alisha made everything so easy and really makes you feel welcome. Honestly a full on 10/10 for anyone wanting to get their first it another tattoo.

J. C.

Got my helix pierced by Vikka today. She made sure I felt comfortable before and after, took the time to make sure it was exactly the position I wanted and did a great job with the piercing. Definitely would recommend, they really took their time over everything and it all felt very hygienic and professional :)

C. B.

Had a septum piercing and it went so well. Chloe on reception is really friendly and calming. She stood and talked to me whilst Vikka, the piercer, was getting ready after her last client. Vikka was really thorough, explained the process and busted some myths I had about cleaning my new piercing. The whole process was wonderful and I’m glad I chose this shop to go in!

S. C.

I had my conch (ear cartilage) pierced here by a wonderful piercer named Vikka, who was skilled and friendly. The aftercare, healing and piercing were explained in detail and carried out very professionally. Would definitely recommend.

A. D.

Have got a couple of piercings here, all of them are perfect. Got a lot of trust in these guys! The piercer knows their stuff and the place is really clean, quality service and knowledge from start to finish.

N. B.

The staff were really friendly, and made me feel comfortable for my piercing. Have great advice too! I'd highly recommend

C. S.

I got my second lobe piercings done by Vikka last week and I couldn’t be happier. She went above and beyond, making sure I was totally happy with the placement, calming my nerves and even checking the jewellery I wanted to use in advance. Vikka has a lot of experience and it really shows. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will return for future piercings.

K. B.

My partner and I were in Bristol for the weekend and popped into inked up. They were very friendly and knew exactly what we were talking about. Sarah Ollis was am awesome artist and gave us both awesome tattoos

L. W.

Super friendly and professional environment, I had my appointment with Specky and I can’t recommend him enough for his attention to detail and how enjoyable he made my experience of getting my first tattoo.

K.

Got such a beautiful tattoo and Sarah was amazing. Its such an amazing environment and so friendly. Will definitely be coming again for another

J. B.

I got my nose pierced here last October and had a great experience! From booking the appointment over email to the piercing itself, the whole process was super easy. The studio itself has a relaxed atmosphere and all the staff were very kind and helpful. Definitely the best piercing studio in Bristol and I'm hoping to go back for more piercings in the near future :)

O. G.

Amazing experience for 1st time tattoo I had my first ever tattoo today and the staff made it the most amazing experience. Starting with Ruby who was so amazing helping booking me an appointment so fast after I asked about one. Specki who did my gorgeous tattoo was so amazing and talented. He did an amazing job drawing it with his own font. He also made me feel so comfortable and made the experience I was a bit nervous for, so it was nice to feel calmer. All the staff are so friendly and amazing. Will definitely book here again.

L. A.

I walked in to get one of my piercings down sized and the lady saw to me right away without a booking and was so lovely. I felt really comfortable and the space felt super clean and professional. There were lots of jewellery options too. Definitely recommend.

J. B.

Can never fault this place! Absolutely beautiful world by amazing artists. Been coming here for three years and I wouldn’t ever dream of going anywhere else. You get what you pay for and that’s quality :)

B. W.

Great experience getting a new tattoo I’m really happy it’s just what I wanted , really friendly guy called greggs who did my tattoo would absolutely recommend him. I’ll be back 😊 many thanks x

C. P.

Everything went incredibly smoothly and all the staff were not only professional but so personable and lovely. So happy with my tattoo and won’t go anywhere else in the future! Can’t recommend highly enough.

D. H.

I've had 3 cartilage piercings here from Jennine. She is very professional and talked through the process and aftercare. I was also able to upgrade to gold jewellery which was great considering healing takes so long so it's in for a while! Nothing worse than grotty stainless steel jewellery! Can't wait to book in for more!

A. L.

So so happy with my conch pierced by Jennine today!! She was very professional,, told me everything i needed to know and communication all throughout the booking process and the actual appointment was excellent. Reception staff seemed lovely,, the place is very clean and I'll definitely be coming back for more!!

L. O.

Had a septum piercing yesterday and it was a great experience. Studio is very clean and comfortable with good covid protections in place. Jennine put me at ease and the piercing itself was very smooth and fast, with little pain during or since. Very impressed with the whole service and will be back for any future piercings!

J. D.

Got my second lobe piercings done - very clean, aftercare was well explained, piercer was very nice and professional, didn't feel stressed at all. Painless experience and my piercings look good :)

a. h.

I had a wonderful experience. My artist was Greggs (insta @Paul_lovell_newman ) and I bearly felt a thing he was very gentle especially as it was my first ever tattoo! Would definitely recommend Inked Up Bristol they are very clear and clean.

K. R.

Just got a tattoo done on my arm in a great time frame. Staff were all nice and helpful. The line work worries me slightly but based on the cost im more than happy to come back here and have it touched up to look slightly cleaner since it wasnt expensive at all. c:

E. B.

Had my septum pierced by Jennine and she was amazing! Was slightly nervous but she was very professional. She talked me through everything and made me feel at ease. She did it so quickly so the pain was minimal and it looks amazing. Would highly recommend!

S.

I got my ears pierced here. The experience of getting my ears pierced was great - both the members of staff I met were very pleasant, friendly, and helpful. 3 stars because I am frustrated that the opening hours on Google are wrong - I've been twice now and they have been shut. They don't pick up the phone when I have tried to call on several days throughout the day. Good piercing experience, but poor communication if you're not actually inside the building.

A. J.

I've been pierced by Jennine 11 times and honestly I will never go to another piercer again. She's always so kind, caring and patient every time I've been in. The jewellery is fantastic quality, I've never had any issues with any of the piercing. Overall Inked Up just has a great vibe and I cannot recommend it enough.

H. J.

I love my new ear daith piercing! Thank you very much ☺️

T. R.

Got my tattoo done today and I felt extremely welcome and my tattooist Greggs was lovely, made sure I was ok and is amazing! I will most definitely be booking in again soon! Thank you so much I’m in love with my tattoo!

L. G.

I’ve had 2 tattoos here in the space of about 3 months. Both times I had booked in with Greggs , He’s a brilliant tattoo artist that I can’t recommend enough , both of them have healed perfectly and will be going back for more !

E. R.

Chris (@rawkustattoos_bristol) did a wonderful job on my tattoo! Fantastic experience from booking to the appointment it was all very professional and friendly, Chris made me feel very comfortable and confident getting my tattoo Inked Up. Thank you!

D. N.

Excellent service. I would highly recommend. I came here a few Months ago for a Helix piercing and the counter staff were ever so helpful and friendly. I was pierced by Vikka who made me feel welcome and in safe hands. She gave excellent aftercare, had a very professional yet friendly fun manner about her which made me feel instantly at ease. I hadn't had a piercing in quite a few years so was a little nervous so was very glad I chose to go to Inked Up Bristol. My piercing has since healed very nicely and I love it. I was also very happy with the time the staff gave me to discuss an old tattoo I wanted covering. I will definitely be returning to here again. :)

P. M.

Fantastic service, friendly and a lovely piercer 😍. Got my tongue pierced and she made me feel very much at ease! Will be back for tattoos as they are doing 7 hours for 400. We'll recommended piercers, a tiny bit expensive but that does not sway me as the level of service and the friendliness of the establishment put me greatly at ease when I was nervous. Even had a long chat afterwards. Thanks inked up team!

C. N.

Fantastic experience. I went it to get my nipples pierced and had Megan as my piercer. She was friendly, informative, and she made me feel relaxed through the whole process. She made sure I breathed and the piercings came out flawless. Their prices are also incredibly reasonable (£60 for both including jewelry). I would absolutely go back for another piercing.

E. Y.

Got my Helix pierced here a couple weeks ago - would highly recommend this place and will definitely be going again in the future! Lovely staff - the lady that pierced mine (and my friends) ear was absolutely lovely, as well as being very thorough in all the details of after care and suggested going back for a checkup in a couple months. She took her time to position the piercing where it would look best depending on our ear shapes, and it looks great! The shop has a lovely atmosphere and is very welcoming. So far neither of us have had any problems and they seem to be healing very well! Thank you Inked Up!!!

r. k.

Best piercing experience I've had! The piercer Jennine is lovely and was very professional. Will definitely be back(:

S. P.

Customer service and communication was great! This was my first nose piercing and Jennine made me feel calm and comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for a better place for a piercing! Thank you!

Y. B.

Did tattoo couple of weeks ago. Overall I'm pleased with the tattoo artist Greg, seems like he knows what he's doing and the cleaning level of the place was good. Unfortunately the staff at the front desk were a bit rude in my opinion. We agreed on a price after they said between 60-80. We agreed to do the tattoo for 60 after I did the tattoo the price went up to 80. I will not go back for that reason. Also keep in mind that the place accepts cash only which is a bit strange.

S.

Great place, very friendly staff. Think I spoke to 4 members of staff over course of three visits (checking the place out, booking and getting the tattoo). They were always polite and helpful - think it helps to know what you want, they aren't going to persuade you to get something done! Kris the tattooist was a real nice guy and discussed positioning and care. Would certainly recommend and go here for future work.

F. C.

I have nothing bad to say about my experience with Inked up. I was greeted by James and pierced by Jan. Both were super professional and friendly and had clearly adapted very well for Covid-19. I was unsure about going to get my nose pierced anywhere due to the pandemic, but they were very organised and clean so my mind was put at ease :) Great job and great staff!

R. B.

I feel conflicted about my experience at Inked up. The tattooist Kris was incredible. The tattoo turned out great, he worked fast and was great to chat to throughout. However I didn't like the atmosphere in the shop. There was conflict and tension and arguing between staff, which I didn't like. I waited for an hour and a half in silence. In previous studios I have been offered tea while waiting... Maybe I just have high expectations. I don't think I would return to the studio purely based on the atmosphere. I would return to Kris though, as he is fantastic.

T. S.

My go to tattoo parlour. All of the staff are amazingly friendly and professional. Very much recommend Specki for tattoos.

D. J.

Staff were friendly and helpful and had a quote and appointment for me straight away. The artist, Phil, was a top bloke; made me feel comfortable and in capable hands for my first tattoo. Dead friendly and down to earth, did a perfect job. Would deffo recommend... Cheers Phil and co!

L. C.

I got two piercings here, my helix and my nose and they staff members we soo lovely and welcoming! They women that did the piercings was extremely helpful. She made sure I knew all the details on how to keep it clean and was very reassuring while getting the piercings! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get a piercing

e. n.

I have been having my piercings done here for over a year now with the lovely Amber, and once with their other piercer for my tragus. Always completely amazing and well done, healing perfectly and always so honest about what they can and can't do (so you know its not like most piercing shops where they just take your money and give you a piercing that doesn't work for you!). Still got more stabbing to go and will always go back. Love it! Friendly and kind, easy to talk to and great prices also in comparison to other shops in Bristol.

O. D.

Loving my new tattoo so much! Greggs has got THE softest touch and he is an amazing artist. I am already thinking about my next visit :) As for the studio, it is very clean, the staff is super nice. Great experience overall!

J. C.

I had my first tattoo here yesterday by Kris. The whole experience was a positive one. Great communication from Marta beforehand to establish exactly what I wanted. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and I'm really happy with the end result.

a. h.

Used to love this place and always got my tattoos done by Kris, who is extremely friendly and a great laugh when getting a tattoo with him. I then went to get a portrait tattoo done with Greggs as was told he was the best man for the job, first sitting I loved the tattoo he did it looked amazing and so much like it was meant to unfortunately it started to fade fast by my second sitting and rather than getting it back to it's original state he seemed to just add little bits to it that was meant to fix it now it's 100% complete the more I look at it the more I hate it as it's nothing like the original, so now after 3 years they have 100% lost my custom

E. M.

Brilliant artists at Inked Up. I have had a couple tattoos done there now and loved them, excited for my next!

H. M.

I had my medusa done here a while back. It healed great and I never had any problems. :) Loved the amazing quality jewellery they ordered for me. A very welcoming and fun studio!

d. d.

Got my lobes pierced, kind and friendly staff along with a range of piercings to choose from, aftercare was explained simply and the piercing was done quickly and not very painful :)

S. S.

Everything from enquiring to getting tattooed was smooth and professional. Phil who carried out my tattoo was friendly and the general atmosphere of the place was friendly and relaxed. To those who say the team are rude or cold, I feel this is unfair. Getting something permanent done to yourself requires a level of seriousness and concentration from the individual piercing or tattooing you.

J. C.

Such a cool group of artists! Their style and experience comes through in everything to do with Inked up! Next time you're in Broadmead, you have to pop in and see their designs! A great addition to The Arcade! Piercings are ultra professional and great quality jewellery.

J. T. (.

Had my first tattoo here with Phil, very nervous to begin with but he put me at ease and did an excellent job with the tattoo I had asked for. Was originally not too keen getting tattooed at Inked Up because of some of the things I had heard but after going and experiencing the shop for myself I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

C. P.

Had my first tattoo here with the tattooist called phil (greggs) it was a 3 hour session and i was incredibly nervous but he made me feel so comfortable and at ease. The outcome was better than i could have ever imagined it is absoloutly gorgeous he is such a talented tattooist and all in all a lovely person. Would 100000% reccommend him and i will definitely go back to him for my future tattoos 😁

A. W.

Lovely staff, great place to get your first tattoo. friendly atmosphere, would highliy recomend.

M. F. F.

Really nice staff, very welcoming and good service, my tattoo was done by greggs and he did an amazing job!! Very pleased by the tattoo and overall service.

S. P.

Just had my first tattoo done by Kris at inked up - great service and Kris is really friendly! Really good geometric line work as well as dot work. 100% recommend them.

D. T.

Wanted a new piercing... I'm anoyingly indecisive, Amber the piercer helped me decide... I went for a conch which I thought would really hurt, Amber was super quick and put me at ease so was totally fine and it's healed nicely. Going back for more, staff really funny and friendly totally recommend.

A. T.

I had a small tattoo done, on my ankle I was really nervous but Phil the tattooist was lovely and let me take a few mins break between the outline and the colouring. Would definitely go back for anoy (love my tattoo)!

S. B.

Cracking tattoos, very pleased with mine. Friendly staff, Greg is an amazing artist, place is spotlessly clean, easy to find, can't fault it. Just trying to decide what my next one will be.

A. R.

I have been to see Vikka twice now for a jewellery change for my septum piercing. Each time she was so professional and lovely... what a babe! Would highly recommend :)

L. B.

Very relaxed vibe. Phil made me feel really relaxed and has done a lovely job with my design. Great first tattoo experience, will definitely go back.

A. D.

had my labret pierced by vikka, she was so kind and patient, the procedure was smooth and the jewellery quality was excellent. my piercing is perfectly placed and healed wonderfully. thank you :)

P. F.

I was very impressed by the quality of my tattoos and recommend them, so much so I am going back soon. I managed to walk in without an appointment, but I think I was very lucky. It's probably best to make a appointment.

M. B.

Got my daith pierced here today. They had a good selection of initial jewellery. I was very nervous but Vikka was very professional and helped me feel calm.

C. N.

Had a pleasant experience at Inked Up - two of us went in without an appointment and they were happy to fit us in. Body piercer, Amber, was very professional, efficient and gave us good advice. We were also advised to go back for a check up in a couple of months time.

D. B.

Friendly atmosphere, clean, and Greggs is a lovely guy once you get him chatting. Really pleased with the result and will be heading there again soon. Thanks all. And for the people saying the staff were arrogant...Sometimes people just need warming up. Relax.

L. L.

Not the best service. Tattoo artist skill just okay. For the price it might be worth it but if you want very detailed and complex work done, seek elsewhere. Simple work no problems.

D. B.

Lovely place. Staff are very friendly.My daughter just had her first tattoo there. Very pleased. Will be going back to have mine done.

A. N.

Got my nose pierced there, super professional and lovely. I was very nervous but the lady was super calm and gave me excellent aftercare advice and answered every question.

S.

Wow, just got my first ever tattoo by Kris. What a star!! Thank you so so so so much. I'm so so so happy with the result (do check out his work on his Instagram!!) I will be back 100%.

W.

Overjoyed with my piercing by Jennine, gave me all the info I need to know. Booking was easy as well, managed to get an appointment very quickly.

S. E.

Excellent customer service perfect atmosphere to get new ink and piercings. High standards that are second to none. Greggs is the man that can.

C. P.

Great price for the navel pericing, with a range of really nice bars to choose from! Vikka was lovely and made sure I was comfortable and explained procedure and after care very well.

K. W.

I had my very first tattoo done by Kris, he was totally amazing, made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I will deffo be going back. Thanks Kris.

P. A.

Excellent service. Very professional staff and I have never had any problems/infections in any of my piercings from there. Only take cash!

K. P.

Had a tattoo done about a month ago amazing artist think it was Phil so friendly and professional made me feel very welcomed will definitely be back for another tattoo soon 😀😃😃

b. s.

As always a top service, focus entirely on the client and great music to help you chill. Greggs is a Gent and can highly recommend his artwork.

C. D.

Quick, clean, professional and well worth the money. I wouldn't call it home or say that the staff were overly hospitable, but my piercing looks great!

M. K.

Thanks Vikka! love my piercing! I'll be back for more soon. btw cleanest studio ever! awesome job guys!
