We finally settled on what we were getting, and he did some great work, and was very friendly to chat with while getting it done! The shop was clean and inviting, and overall the experience was as comfortable as it could be! The artist says he does a lot of Scottish-themed tattoos for tourists (not pictured- we also got Loch Ness monsters lol) and he was very friendly about it (didn't make us feel like dumb tourists ) so I would suggest swinging in if you're traveling and looking for tattoo to symbolize your trip! They do accept walk ins as well!

Been meaning to write a review of this place for ages…read more Been to GPS on 5 occasions and always had a great experience. Rachel that works there is really cool and has some amazing piercings herself PLUS if you're a cat fan then talk to her as she loves cats too! Had a great conversation with her about all the FIV cats she takes in/looks after, so lovely. Not sure if they still do their out of hours service but it used to be with Debbie who is also super lovely and she has had some crazy shiz done such as temple implants and tongue-splitting (ouch!). The out of hours used to suit me fine because I used to go there just after my work and get Debbie to do all my piercings. It's basically a turn up and wait system so you just come in, take a seat and if you see anyone they'll ask you what you're in for and also help you with prices/jewellery. I never waited longer than 20mins. I think they're open Tues- Sat, 11 - 5pm Great ladies, great clean studio and great service. Definitely recommend this place for all your piercing and jewellery needs. Prices are decent and they have a great choice of jewellery too. A lot of people tend to get to Nirvana when in this area but GPS is just around the corner and should not be forgotten about. P.s. Just found out that Fiona who used to work for Forevemore is piercing here too also. She's also lovely so woo!

I then rescheduled for a 1pm appointment but when I arrived I was told that Lyle was with another client and the work was more intricate than he first thought. I was given the option of having the work done by Nathan - I was sceptical as he was young so I asked if he was sure he could do the work whereupon he showed me several photos on his phone of work he had done previously, most of which appeared to be well done. I wanted two words (the nickname for my daughter ), a four word phrase, two music notes and a small Texas Bluebonnet flower. Nathan said they had tattooed Texas Bluebonnets before so he knew what they were and what they looked like. I showed him a photo of a tattoo of a bluebonnet my daughter had recently had done and which was beautiful. Nathan, told me, after he had finished the tattoo that he had problems with my older skin (I'm 73) - if that was the case he should have stopped at the first sign of a problem so we could discuss how to proceed -- but he didn't. What I ended up with was thick lettering, the one single music more resembling an exercise hand dumbbell and the Texas Bluebonnet looking nothing like a flower, rather it looks like a hairy blue banana which is going a little mouldy along its green centre line. I have been in contact with Stu the owner, who did offer suggestions in the form of more music notes, but the tattoo itself is so ugly that additional work would be like trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I am now looking at over £1,000 to have the tattoo removed by a well-established dermatology business. As I am a pensioner, this is an extra cost I will have some difficulty paying, especially with today's excessively high cost of living. I suggested to Stu that perhaps I should be reimbursed the amount I paid to have this eyesore tattooed tattooed -- he said I should return to the shop and ask Nathan if he would reimburse the money. I live a considerable distance from Glasgow and with ferry fare, train fare and taxi I would have to pay out over £30 to return - and would Nathan reimburse my money - I doubt it. I may be a senior but I'm not stupid enough to throw good money after bad. Shame on you Stu, Nathan, Lyle and Hepcat Tattoo.

If you're looking for personalised service with a tattoo artist who will take great care of you and make sure you're happy with the work she does, this is the place. I've been tattooed twice by Nadia, am booking in for my third piece and highly recommend her. No question is too stupid, no piece too geeky! I've been to other studios but have never felt more comfortable getting needles stuck in me has I have here. EI is a small studio with just one piercer and one tattoo artist but what they lack in size they more than make up for in style. Both owners care deeply about making sure you come away from the shop smiling, and I always do - or else I wouldn't keep going back!
