LauraJane gave me a gorgeous tattoo over 2 yrs ago, before Covid-19...so when I needed a cover-up, she was first in my mind. Alice is a great mediator and makes sure that the initial process goes smoothly.. LauraJane gives you her undivided attention while you are there and makes you feel comfortable, always asking to your needs & wants. That time flies in good company; despite the pain, is an understatement. Empire Ink is clean, the decor is fun and the people are highly professional. Thank you from a traveler

Had my tattoo done by Dorota a few weeks back, it healed beautifully and I am as in love with it as I was the first time I saw the sketch. She did a wonderful job. The process was very good and we had some nice conversations :) TA

I booked in with Laura-Jayne after chatting back and forth about my idea My tattoo has a very personal meaning to me and with it being a person it HAD to be perfect Spent the whole day in the studio with Laura-Jayne who was also really excited to do my tattoo, as this was a first for her also!!. If id've been nervous, her enthusiasm would have put me right at ease! Being so easy to sit with and chat to, we never ran out of things to say and the music taste was incredible, the day just flew by!! Its so clean and full of amazing merchandise that gives you plenty to talk about if you're not great at making conversation and the toilet?? Hahaha you have to see for yourself Excellent experience CANNOT FAULT and will continously recommend!!! If you are STILL thinking about it DO IT!!! Pic is just done

I recently got a couple tattoos by Virginia and the results are absolutely bang on! I am over the moon with my tattoos and my experience in empire ink. All the staff are really welcoming and relaxed! Awesome music playlist and movies on the tv so you can just chill and watch a film while they do what they do best! I will definitely be back in the near future and I recommend everyone to look no further if you have found empire ink!!

Fantastic Tattoo Parlour, incredibly clean and modern. All artists specialise in their own style and technique. Would highly recommend Ross for Black ans White realism

What a fantastic place - from very first email contact with Alice who keeps the place running smoothly and is so helpful through to the boss man Alex and the rest of the crew who had a chat and a bit banter throughout the day. Then you have Laura Jane - an artist with a capital A. She spent so much time helping me pick the right design for a cover up - spending her own time looking for exactly the right design which she then applied in stunning style. A really great tattooer - and all round interesting person who does the place proud - everyone who has seen her work has been so impressed and I will be back and so will my friends and family !!! Thanks again

Had my first tattoo here (done by Virginia) and couldn’t be happier with the result! Amazing service from start to finish, the artists are incredible and the environment of the studio is great.

Simply magnificent. All artists are amazing - I got my 20th ink by LauraJane and despite a mammoth almost-7 hour session, I left on cloud 9. Superb work, advice, suggestions and banter. Planning my next already and this is definitely where I’m heading. Can’t praise Empire Ink highly enough.

Just had my first tattoo done here and I cannot I recommend highly enough! Kirsten was friendly and chatty throughout, totally made me feel at ease and distracted me from any pain. She checked in with me throughout to make sure I was happy with how the tattoo was going and I’m thrilled with the result! The shop is clean, (excellently decorated!), everyone was laid back and friendly and I cannot fault it. If I could give 10 stars, I would! 100% recommend!

C. M.

I had my forearm sleeve done here and I can honestly say I was the best place I’ve ever been to! The staff (especially Laura Jane who did my tattoo) were incredibly friendly and professional and made me feel at ease chatting away to me the whole time. The studio had a great atmosphere with music playing and all the amazing marvel collectables and movies playing nonstop. The tattoo was fantastic and it was also my least painful one, and considering I was there for over 6 hours that really shows what a great artist Laura Jane was! I would highly recommend this studio and I will be returning here for my future tattoos!

S. M.

Had work completed by Laura Jane, and it looks brilliant. I am really happy with it. What a super cool studio with great friendly staff and Baz looks after you all day. So if you want a quality tattoo where you can relax and watch films have good banter, listen to some tunes and get endless mugs of tea look no further. Well done Alex in creating an awesome studio. Wish you all the best of success. " I'll be back "

Tolles Studio. Nette Mitarbeiter, fantastische Künstler. Beweisfotos auf Instagram oder Facebook. Habe mir einen Spruch auf den Unterarm stechen lassen. Der vorher festgelegte Preis wurde nach dem Stechen von der Künstlerin sogar nach unten Korrigiert. Sehr fair. Das Tattoo ist toll und ich würde mein nächstes gerne wieder hier stechen lassen. (Translated) Great studio. Nice staff, fantastic artists. Proof photos on Instagram or Facebook. I've got a spell on the forearm. The pre-determined price was even downgraded after the jump-off by the artist. Very fair. The tattoo is great and I would like to have my next stab here again.
