Reviews of Semper Tattoo

A. L.

Absolutely brilliant!! Recently had a portrait of my dog done by the incredible David corden and it is as good as the photo people are amazed when they see how realistic it is. All the staff here are really friendly and go out of there way to make you relaxed and comfortable. Cannot recommend highly enough 👌 can't wait to go back.

Centrally located in Edinburgh, and close to lots of shops and food. Claire did my tattoo, and was amazing in every aspect possible. She was very patient with the design, the timeline, and the commitment of a full day tattoo session. The environment inside is very calming, and inviting. Plenty of places to sit and review work before it starts, and to take short breaks. I wish I lived closer by, Claire Hamill would be my Go-To artist!!

First tattoo, was a little nervous, had spent a few years talking /searching for the perfect artist. Semper did not disappoint, not only are tgier staff super friendly and put me at ease straight away, but they were proffesional, clean, lovely surroundings, great chat from my artist (joanne) as well as a fantastic tattoo! Would use again (does anyone just get one?) Thanks guys!! Im so happy i choose you 😘

Best tattoo shop around! Such creative artwork by some extremely talented people. So proud to wear Joanne's artwork! Highly recommend!

The aesthetic of this place is so pleasing! They took covid precautions (e.g. taking your temperature, masks inside and hand sanitisers) which made me feel a lot safer. Dana is such an amazing artist! The tattoo came out better than I had envisioned. She also made me feel so comfortable. It was so great to get to know her as a person and felt comfortable to share my own story. Definitely choosing her to do my next tattoo.

L. J.

Recieved a tattoo from @aanthem and it is brilliant. Fantastic design, exquisite detail and Semper had a really love atmosphere.

The lovely Dana worked with me a few months back. Brilliant and professional service with appropriate covid regulations. Such talented artists too! Thanks so much.

Amazing artist in Claire Hamill and store decor is impressive

K. F.

Absolutely wonderful friendly atmosphere and my tattooist, Joanne, was utterly delightful and made me as comfortable as possible. Her work is flawless and I will be trusting her with my future tattoos as well. I am over the moon with the two pieces I came away with today. Thank so much Joanne!

Great Experience. Very talented and kind people. I have seen many good tattoo studios. This is certainly one of the best. Working on highest standards in terms of skills and materials (For example they use dermalize , like a second skin, for aftercare) Also they give great advice and make you feel very comfortable. I can highly recommend this place. My Tattoo was done by David Corden, who is a specialist in realistic tattoo. Pricing is on a higher level than average, but worth every penny. you get a timeless and beautiful piece of art in return.

Working with Paul Vander Johnson who created a magnificent lower leg sleeve for me over a period of 3 separate days. Would definitely visit again, quality artist.

L. H.

Gorgeous studio with really top teir talented artists, feels very calm and relaxed and all your needs are met, highly recommend.

T. W.

Joanne Baker did my first ever tattoo, and I'm in love with it. Visiting from Dublin, the atmosphere, staff, artists, and overall vibe of the place is professional, warm, and welcoming. Can't wait to come back again. ✌

D. H.

A stunning and unique environment, with a great atmosphere due to the friendly, outgoing, and not to mention terrifically talented artists. Makes getting tattooed about as pleasurable as the experience can be. You only need to check out the artists' portfolios to know what this studio stands for.

M. C.

Very professional and friendly. Alex did a great job! Thank you. Planning my next tattoo now.....

A. B.

Best tattoo studio around. It's swankier than most stately homes. You ain't gonna meet a better photorealist portrait artist than David. The rest of the studio are good eggs too and the pub next door is sick.

C. W.

Joanne Baker was absolutely amazing, so kind and she looked after me so well. Her artwork and skill was above and beyond what I imagined. Love my tattoo so much ❤❤

N. C.

Lovely place right at the bottom of the castle. Really lovely studio, and Joanne was absolutely lovely. Would really recommend. They were super careful and friendly, even in COVID times - and it was both safe and comfortable.

L. B.

Needs more stars! Super clean, very friendly, awesomely fun and incredible talent! There is an artist for nearly any type of tattoo you could want! If you book in and there is a wait it is totally worth it.

S. O.

I am blown away by the experience with David, and the Semper team today. Fortunately for us both (as the tattoo took nearly 11 hours) we connected. He is a superb chap, who is able to balance conversational informality and solid customer service with genuine professionalism as a business owner, AND yet maintains artistic flair. He is totally passionate about his work and it shows. All this before he creates the most amazing tattoo on your body. I can't share a photo just yet as it will be on Instagram in due course...and I can vouch that you do get what you pay for.

This is the fanciest tattoo shop I've ever seen. Was immediately greeted with an extreme amount of kindness by David, who was going to get my tattoo on me. Really lovely bunch of people with amazing tattooing skills.

M. M.

Always an excellent experience with patient friendly staff. If you're in any way nervous about being tattooed, I highly recommend this studio. They make the whole experience very relaxing

Okay, I've got a few tattoos and most of them big. This is the first time I've been tattooed at semper by the lovely Claire Hamill. Everything start to finish has been amazing. My tattoo is incredible , it's better than I imagined! Claire is a wonderful human and is so talented. All staff are lovely and they are all adhering to the highest standard inline with covid infection control. I have nothing negative to say at all.

M. C.

My wife, my sister and I stayed in Edinburgh just for three days. We tried to schedule an appointment in advance for three small tattoos. Unfortunately there were problems with the mail communication ... still not sure what happened, but the answer from the studio never arrived in our inbox. Anyway, the Semper Team managed to edge us in and gave us a very wholesome and professional experience. We absolutely love our new tattoos, done by Keira Kirkpatrick - what an amazing artist. We also loved the layout and interior of the shop. Cool place with an appealingly twisted classical style.

m. s.

Absolutely top class studio. Great staff and artists. Very friendly and welcoming.

L. O. F.

Callum was super kind and chill and took sanitizing & cleaning in between tattoos seriously. Affordable & easy to plan with from a distance 👍🏻

S. L.

David is a genius and am delighted with the tattoo. Have been wanting a portrait for years and delighted I was able to get David. Took time to discuss the design and offer great advice on size and location. Easy to chat to and the work speaks for itself. The studio is also stunning and clearly filled with talented artists from the other designs I saw. Highly recommend David and Semper Tattoo to anyone. Have received plenty of positive comments on my tattoo.

A. A. (.

I have had few appointments with David for my tattoos, he is absolutely lovely and put me at ease from the start. Everyone at Semper is welcoming and friendly! The shop is easy to find and get to via walking, taxi or public transport. I can't wait to get back there to add to my collection!

S. C.

I had a wonderful experience being tattooed by Joanne. She did such an amazing job brining my son's drawing to life as a tattoo. I would highly reccomend her. Semper is a lovely and welcoming tattoo parlor and I look forward to coming back in the near future.
