I do check out other shops just to see how they measure up and I have to say I won't be changing! They are licensed and clean, help with my designs (I'm no Van Gogh!) and not full of attitude...

I went there to get my septum pierced. I don't know that much about piercings but I expected to be…read morepierced with a circular barbell, because that's what the majority of piercing shops pierce with for spetums. I got pierced with a curved barbell which looked absolutely ridiculous on me. Left it for a day or so then realized that I couldn't wait for it to heal to change it so I got it taken out. Another piercer that I met even said that it was a ring meant for eyebrows... t wasn't what I wanted at all. So such a waste of money for me. The only good thing was that the piercer did pierce my septum correctly, and pierced it through the sweet spot. So it wasn't painful.

DON'T GO HERE FOR PIERCINGS! NIGHTMARE EXPERIENCE!…read more I had my septum pierced here a few months ago she completely botched it and pierced it too far back in the cartilage. Firstly when she put the needle in my nose she then realised she couldn't use the ring she'd chosen so made me choose another one while the needle was still in my nose! I thought something was wrong that evening so I went for a second opinion the next day and they told me to take it out immediately as it was dangerous. The Ink Parlour refused to accept responsibility and would not give a refund and started ignoring my calls and emails.. Disgusting treatment! Do not get pierced here. I went and had it done properly in Hell To Pay in Camden by proper trained professionals, completely different experience.

The place in itself is pretty small. When you walk in, the left side is customer service and a not to private tattoo booth. On the right is where you can buy anything medicinal use related products. The back side is where they do the piercings. The lady who I met at the front seemed like shes worked there so long she's not even fazed by people coming into the shop. She was nice but her vibe was kinda meh. Made me feel kinda down honestly. Or maybe that was just her face. I don't know. The lady who did my piercings on the other hand, was absolutely amazing!! She was super friendly, knowledgeable and quite informative. She walked me through the whole process before looking at my ears and realizing I already had so many piercings. She opened up the new instruments in front of my face so I knew they were following protocol. She marked me off and two holes were punched. I came out very content with the job and a month later, they look amazing.

I found Kilburn Tattoo from an article rating the best tattoo shops in London. I completed the…read moreonline form and sent them pictures of what I wanted for my tattoo. They said that Elle would be available to do the tattoo. It is a very detailed tattoo and she was not scared of it but excited by the tattoo. When I arrived to Kilburn I was quickly greeted and completed an online waiver. Elle introduced herself and showed me the art that she created. She put a lot of time and creativity in preparing to tattoo me. We agreed on a size and location and then got to work. I was beyond impressed with Elle's talent. My tattoo is amazing!! Elle has a light touch and in incredibly detailed in her tattooing. I was able to watch a few other tattoo artist while I was there and they were also incredibly talented. If you looking for a place to get your first or next tattoo then give Kilburn a call.

When I told her I needed to repair the tattoo, she said there was no problem with the tattoo. When I asked her how much it cost every hour, she gave me back £100 and walked away, then blocked my Instagram. I want to tell you that your career won't go long after you have done something wrong. She didn't say a word to me during the tattooing, didn't ask me any questions, was very indifferent, and forced me to admit that this was the pattern I wanted to tattoo. My three-year-old niece can do better than you. Even if she blocked me, the chat history is still there. And after my friend posted a negative review she decided to unblock me. But I have proof she blocked me. She is very unprofessional and rude.
