With a wealth of experience, talent, creativity and humour these guys listen, and create bespoke artwork that is second to none. If you are serious about your ink and you want to enjoy being tattooed with laughs along with the thrill of the pain then best get yourself down to Gunpoint or you may live to regret it. Remember - bad ink is for life not just for Xmas, get it done properly the first time - but in case you don't they do awesome cover-ups too!

While I've heard mixed opinions about the designs this place tends to do, I've never heard a bad word about the quality of the artwork or the hygiene. Every tattoo I've seen from here looks professional and clean but never strikingly different. Unlike other places in town I've never seen a tattoo from here that's made me think "wow!" Despite that I'd feel perfectly comfortable in both artists' abilities to design and draw a decent tattoo. All for a very competitive price too.

The first time I visited this place I watched my mate get branded in the downstairs room. The last time I was there was Sunday, and I watched my boyfriend get tattooed. I'll be returning as soon as I have the dosh to extend my own tattoo. With a small, clean but not clinical upstairs tattooing and piercing room, a huge corner sofa dominating the waiting area and a horde of body art magazines and brochures, as well as a computer screen showing films and playing music, it's a friendly, unintimidating and comfortable place to get inked. The prices are reasonable, the quality is exceptional, and the staff are really chatty and friendly, easing the nerves of anxious customers. Open 'til 11pm most nights, Diablo is a favourite for many Brighton body modders.

I really tried to love this tattoo but feel like crying everytime i look at it. I went back and told him i didn't like it expecting him to be a bit concerned or at least offer to try and rectify it for nothing, however he wanted more money on top of the 320 i had already paid. Please please don't risk your skin here when there are so many cheaper and better places in Brighton. BEWARE!

As a first timer it was a surprisingly relaxing experience and the staff do everything they can to put you at ease.

This is probably thanks to the owner Barb, a very affable and talented tattoo artist. In fact, all the people who work here are so lovely, they immediately put my sister at ease. She had her little flower tattooed on her shoulder by Jonny (I think that's what his name was) and now she's talking about coming back for more, yikes!

The staff are very friendly and make you feel very comfortable. I went in there to ask how painful it would be - a common question no doubt, and they gave me some great advice - go away, have a burger, don't think about it, then come and do it! They're very clean, very professional and as I said they do a good job of making you very at ease. Price wise they're very fairly priced in my opinion, having had other piercings before now. I've been back to this place regularly to buy new tongue balls and belly bars as I also have my belly button pierced. I think they have a good selection of body jewellery but not an overly excessive amount, however the prices in comparison to Punktured (in the North Laines) are a lot less. This is the only place I have had a piercing done in Brighton but I'd say the standard of the service is great. It's difficult to review a piercing place if you're getting something pierced that you haven't before as it's difficult to compare or know how it was supposed compare to other piercings... Saying that, my boyfriend has had his nipple pierced in this place after having it done previously at a different studio - the first time he had it pierced it never really heeled properly and he ended up taking it out, but since he recently had it repierced at Intro, he hasn't noticed any problems. All I can say that this is a decent piercing place and that the staff are very open and friendly with you and are always happy to give advice or answer your questions about anything so if you're trying to find a place to get something pierced I can safely say that you'll have nothing to worry about if you go to Intro. - Two years on and I've had no problems with my tongue piercing.. .

All the residents artists are very talented and each have their own style - work is available on their website. Jack did my floral design, taking lots of care to work the design up exactly as I wanted it. The residents seem to be booked up for months in advance, but they do seem to have a steady stream of guests who might be available at shorter notice. Unlike some traditional dingy basement type places, Nine is contemporary and open, and very friendly. I'm already planning number three, and definitely won't go anywhere else.
